On the sixth of January, Chen Mo returned to Beijing and the experience store.
Now, the capital had ushered in a large-scale tide of people. People who had left Beijing before the New Year had rushed back from all over the country to prepare for the new year's work.
The hustle and bustle before the New Year had come to an end. People who had just finished their holidays were still a little confused. The pedestrians on the road all looked like they had eaten too much and were still in a daze.
Chen Mo opened the door of the experience store and walked in.
He had been gone for more than a week, and everything was as usual. Chen Mo rearranged the chairs on the first floor, then found a rag to wipe the table, the massage chair, and the phone and tablet that came with the massage chair.
There was always someone in charge of cleaning the experience store, but the experience store had been closed for the past few days, so there was still a small amount of dust that was hard to detect.
Chen Mo cleaned the place seriously. After all, this was his first experience store. He had grown up from nothing, so he still had some feelings for this place.
"Manager? You're back? "a voice said.
Chen Mo turned around and saw Zou Zhuo standing at the door, looking at him in surprise.
"Yeah, I just got back. Happy New Year. Something to drink? "Chen Mo tossed a can of coke to Zou Zhuo.
Zou Zhuo took the drink and said, "Thank you, manager. You too. Happy New Year."
Zou Zhuo was a local himself, and lived nearby. He happened to see Chen Mo's experience store open when he came out for a walk after eating.
Zou Zhuo was quite excited. Since Chen Mo was usually too busy, Zou Zhuo couldn't find the opportunity to play a match with him. Now that the experience store was empty after Chinese New Year, Zou Zhuo finally had the chance.
Zou Zhuo turned on a machine. "Manager, can you teach me a few games?"
Chen Mo smiled, "Sure, I'm free anyway. Come."
He turned on the computer, logged into the game, created a private room, and started playing.
An hour later, Zou Zhuo typed GG for the third time.
The little fatty scratched his head helplessly. "I'm not coming, I'm not coming. The gap is still too big. I can't play."
After three rounds in an hour, Zou Zhuo's Undead were thrashed by Chen Mo's Elves, Undead, and Orcs.
Chen Mo said, "It's alright, you've improved pretty quickly."
Zou Zhuo was a little helpless. "I'm still far from it. I'll go back and study the recording."
Chen Mo said, "You're actually playing the Ice Armored Spider Style pretty well, and your mechanics aren't bad either. It's just that some of the details aren't handled well. I suggest that you train with other races when you're free. That way, it'll be easier to grasp the opponent's mentality when fighting. Sometimes, if you happen to catch someone leveling up, you can earn a lot of things. "
Chen Mo then explained some tactics and details to Zou Zhuo. Zou Zhuo felt like he had learned a lot and kept nodding his head.
"What should we play next?"
Chen Mo looked at the games on the computers in the experience store.
Chen Mo was getting bored of Warcraft, and the other games like Plants vs Zombies, Wulin Legend, and Onmyoji didn't appeal to him at all.
Zou Zhuo suggested, "Manager, why don't we play World of Warcraft RPG maps? There's a map that's pretty popular recently. I played it before the New Year, and it's really fun. "
Chen Mo nodded, "Sure."
It didn't take long for Zou Zhuo to find the map. He created a room online and invited Chen Mo in.
It didn't take long for two other players to fill up the room.
Chen Mo took a look. The RPG map was called Holy Land, and was based on a western fantasy novel of the same name. In this map, four players would play as a Paladin, a Warlock, a Rogue, and an Archer, exploring the map and defeating the evil boss behind the scenes to save the world.
Zou Zhuo said, "Manager, you're better at the controls. Why don't you play as the Warlock? I'll play as the Paladin, I'll heal you guys."
Chen Mo chose the Warlock, and started exploring the RPG map with Zou Zhuo and two other players.
All in all, the map was very well done. It was one of the most popular maps on the official Warcraft forums. There were many players playing it, and there were many guides as well.
The level design was reasonable, the combat system was rich, and the numerical system was complete. Most importantly, the game was a western fantasy theme, which was very compatible with Warcraft's art resources. Using the materials from the game to make it look like a finished game, it didn't look out of place at all.
There were human villages, elven cities on isolated islands, and the gloomy and terrifying Land of the Undead. The scenes of adventure gave people a strong sense of immersion.
Chen Mo couldn't help but praise, "Well done, the author has quite a deep understanding of western fantasy."
Zou Zhuo nodded, "Yeah, it's mainly because he used the Holy Land as the background, so it's not as immersive as other western fantasy games. Unfortunately, the author doesn't have the rights to the game, so it can only be played as a Doujinshi, and can't be made into a game. "
Chen Mo asked, "Hasn't Holy Land been made into a game overseas? There's no local version? "
Chen Mo asked. Zou Zhuo replied, "There is, but it's a small VR game. I think the company that bought the rights had some funding issues, and decided to make a VR game. They couldn't afford the world, so it's fine overseas, but not very popular in China.
"Moreover, that game is different from this RPG map. Most large MMORPGs have a problem, which is that it's not satisfying enough. Just like Warcraft, it takes a lot of effort to kill a monster of the same level. Although it's quite balanced and realistic, it's a bit boring.
"I think the reason why RPG maps are so popular is because it's really fun to play in them. Killing a hundred monsters in one hit is like cutting vegetables, it's really fun."
Chen Mo nodded.
Indeed, many video game designers in this world were a bit biased towards VR games. After all, it was a VR game, and it was a high-end game. Many designers in this world wanted to develop large-scale games, and their first reaction was to make VR games.
However, VR games were too risky. To make a world the same size as a PC game would require at least ten times the investment and resources. With the same amount of money, they would only be able to make a world that was a tenth the size of a PC game, greatly reducing the content.
Therefore, most video game developers would make a PC game first, and then consider porting it to VR once it's done.
Both Chen Mo and Zou Zhuo had good controls, and Zou Zhuo had done some research on the map. They finally beat the game after almost an hour.
Chen Mo said, "You can go ahead, I'll do some research online and think about a new game."
Zou Zhuo was instantly interested, "Huh? New game? Have you thought about what game you're going to make? "
