The fourth floor was the work area and Chen Mo's rest area.
The work area was much more spacious this time, with meeting rooms of various sizes, a water bar, and a rest area. Every member of the production team had their own VR gaming pod, and other equipment such as drawing tablets and office computers were all upgraded.
Chen Mo's rest area was a special area, similar to the second floor of the experience store, mainly to give Chen Mo space to think.
Chen Mo also said goodbye to his life in the experience store, and rented a two bedroom apartment in the nearby residential area. However, considering that the development schedule was quite tight, Chen Mo couldn't rule out the possibility of staying up all night in the experience store.
In principle, the fourth floor wasn't allowed to be visited by players, partly to keep the game a secret, and also to give his employees a working environment where they wouldn't be disturbed.
Of course, Chen Mo also encouraged his employees to go up to the first, second, and third floors to talk to the players and listen to their opinions.
…
Everyone was quite happy after the relocation plan was announced.
The location of the new experience store wasn't a secret, and many people were waiting for the new experience store to be completed. Although the space was still enough, it was a bit cramped, and everyone wanted to move to a more spacious place.
The players in the experience store were looking forward to it as there were less than twenty computers on the first floor, which wasn't enough for a few people to play, and they often had to queue up.
In the following week, apart from improving the mobile and PC versions of Minecraft, Chen Mo was also preparing for the relocation.
The previous experience store was owned by the organizers of the design competition, and Chen Mo's games had always been selling well, far exceeding the standards set by the organizers for new video game designers, so he was able to use the experience store for free for the past few years.
Now that they were moving, there was a lot of work to be done, but Chen Mo didn't have to worry about that, as Lin Xiao would take care of it.
…
The new experience store opened on the fifth of September.
Since most of the equipment was new, they didn't move too much, and it didn't take long for them to finish packing.
Everyone was very satisfied with the new experience store. Apart from being bigger and having all the equipment upgraded, there were also many small details that reflected Thunderbolt Entertainment's gaming culture, which everyone liked.
At the entrance of the experience store was a giant statue of Arthas, standing at three meters tall and looking quite impressive. There was a giant Thunderbolt Entertainment logo on the glass wall outside the experience store. The style of the experience store was very avant-garde, standing out from the surrounding buildings.
The hall on the first floor had various decorations related to Thunderbolt Entertainment's games, such as Arthas' sword Frostmourne, Hellscream's greataxe, Tyrael's sword, etc.
The corridor was also filled with all sorts of concept art. Every single one of them had a different style, such as Magical Beast, Dark, Onmyoji, China -style Wuxia, and so on.
These were the concept art that was drawn during the design process of the game. Behind each of them was a short story. If one were to look through all the original art, they would be able to see the history of all the games Thunderbolt Entertainment had developed since its inception.
In the PC, mobile, and VR experience areas, there were also special exhibition areas for figurines. Some figurines and dolls were displayed in glass cabinets for players to view.
There were also some players who came to support the store. After all, the two experience stores weren't that far apart, just two subway stations away.
Many players went straight to the VR experience area to try out Minecraft. The previous experience store didn't allow players to try out VR equipment, and the players who didn't have the money to buy a VR pod had been itching to try it out for a long time.
However, the players and employees were more interested in the holographic projection area on the second floor.
Many of them had never seen a holographic projection device before, so they were very interested in it.
Zou Zhuo went straight for the holographic projection device as soon as he arrived, admiring it.
"Manager, how do I use this holographic projection device? It looks so classy!" said Zou Zhuo.
There was one large holographic projection device and two small ones. The large one was in the middle of the viewing area, and the two smaller ones were on either side of it.
The holographic projection device was around half a meter tall, and had a square base.
The large ones were around three meters long, which meant it had an area of around nine square meters, about the size of a small apartment.
The small ones were around two meters long, and had an area of around four square meters, about the size of a double bed.
The three holographic projection devices weren't turned on yet, and looked like three silver-white platforms. If it wasn't for the frame, people might mistake it for a stage and step on it.
Chen Mo laughed, "Wanna play a round of Warcraft?"
Zou Zhuo was taken aback for a moment before he exclaimed in delight, "This thing can even summon Magical Beasts?"
Chen Mo replied, "Of course it can, why else would I buy it?"
In the holographic projection viewing area, there were two small soundproof rooms. Each soundproof room had five high-end computers. Chen Mo and the chubby guy went into the soundproof rooms to play Warcraft.
The other players quickly gathered around the holographic projection device to watch.
Chen Mo and Zou Zhuo were playing a two person map, and the holographic projection device was turned on after the game was loaded.
The large holographic projection device in the middle showed the entire map. Chen Mo appeared in the top left corner of the map, and Zou Zhuo appeared in the top right corner.
The two started building, crafting, and farming.
Buildings, heroes, and minions were all displayed on the holographic projection device. Moreover, they weren't limited by the screen, and everyone could see everything that was happening on the map.
The other two holographic projection devices mainly showed Zou Zhuo and Chen Mo's home, each device showing half of the map.
Thanks to the Holographic Projection Mode, everyone could clearly see what was happening on the battlefield. The spectating players were ecstatic to watch the battle.
Especially when it came to the multitasking that they couldn't see before, they could now see everything clearly on the holographic projection.
Moreover, the holographic projection had a better 3D feel than the original PC graphics, so the graphics were better as well.
"Sigh, fatty's a spider. It's over, Chen Mo killed it again!"
"Chen Mo is still trying to split the mines in secret. Fatty didn't even notice, what the heck!"
"It's over, fatty's done for again. Why did I say again? "
