The experience store opened for business early the next morning.
Jia Peng brought a few guys over not long after the store opened.
"Good morning manager, is the game coming online today?" asked Jia Peng.
Chen Mo nodded, "Yeah, why are you guys here so early today?"
Jia Peng said, "Plants vs Zombies is coming soon. We don't have any classes today, so we came to cheer you on."
Chen Mo said, "Sure, welcome. Come, take a seat. How many levels have you guys reached in endless mode? "
Jia Peng said, "Eighty-four. Manager, is endless mode really endless? No upper limit? "
Chen Mo was amused, "Only eighty-four? Let me put it this way, endless mode is only just starting after reaching level one hundred. "
Jia Peng was speechless, "My goodness, is it that crazy? I'm already having a hard time getting to level eighty-four, it's hard to get to even one more. "
The rest of the guys nodded, "Yeah, level one hundred is just starting? Are you talking about the same game as us? "
Chen Mo smiled without saying a word.
After four days, Jia Peng and the others were the first batch of players, and they had pretty much cleared adventure mode. Adventure mode wasn't that hard to begin with, and Chen Mo designed it to be the same difficulty as his previous life. Any player with normal intelligence would be able to clear it after playing for a while.
Wen Lingwei, Jia Peng, and the others thought it would be over once they cleared it. After all, it was a puzzle game, and it took them three to four days to clear it. The content of the game was already quite rich, much richer than the average puzzle game.
In the end, they found out that there was an endless mode!
This was equivalent to opening the door to a whole new world. The difficulty of Endless Mode kept increasing. Initially, these people thought that they had mastered the game, but when Endless Mode came out, they realized how naive they were.
On the leaderboards, the highest record was Wen Lingwei at ninety-three. Everyone else was hovering around sixty to eighty, and there was a clear feeling of hopelessness!
In adventure mode, these people all had some tricks they thought they were good at, but in endless mode, everything they thought they were good at was ruthlessly crushed. It felt like they were playing a new game.
Therefore, these people would often come to play in Chen Mo's experience store, not only to exchange their experiences, but also to learn the most advanced techniques from Chen Mo to improve their rankings.
Jia Peng and the other guys turned on their computers, opened Plants vs Zombies, logged into their accounts, and continued to challenge Endless Mode.
"Manager, when do you plan on releasing the game?" Jia Peng asked.
Chen Mo said, "12 o 'clock."
Jia Peng nodded. "Alright, we'll download it immediately and give you five stars."
For new games, it didn't matter what time they went online. However, they would usually choose to go online on the dot. That way, it would be easier to record the various data.
Twenty-four hours after a new game's release was more important, mainly the number of downloads and ratings. These two would directly affect the subsequent recommendation of the app store.
When Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Zen Entertainment released their new games, they would usually do a lot of promotion beforehand so that there would be a huge influx of players on the day of release, dominating the new games leaderboards without a doubt.
Chen Mo didn't have that much money to do promotion, but he had his own methods.
At ten o 'clock, Chen Mo had already uploaded Flappybird to the app store. The advertisement was a picture of Plants vs Zombies, and players would be sent to the download page for Plants vs Zombies after clicking on it.
How many players did Flappybird have? Chen Mo wasn't sure himself, but it definitely wasn't a small number. Most of them were casual players, so it would be great to use them to promote Plants vs Zombies.
Chen Mo didn't expect Flappybird to make any money for now. It was completely free to download, and the more the better. He wanted to turn all of them into Plants vs Zombies players.
Apart from that, Chen Mo was also thinking about the video game media.
Logically speaking, as a D-grade video game designer, releasing a new game shouldn't garner too much attention.
The video game media had resources, but who would give them to a nameless video game designer?
However, Chen Mo had a title, and he had a topic to talk about!
He was the champion of the video game design competition, and he even had a war of words with Shi Huazhe a while ago. The video game media all knew about that.
Chen Mo posted on Weibo.
"Flappybird is now on the app store, completely free to download (forever). The new game Plants vs Zombies will be released at 12 o 'clock, on both PC and mobile. Let's see if it can reach a hundred thousand sales in the first month. "
Shi Huazhe, Gaming Information Network, Tianji Network, Wechat Gaming Channel, Hengyounet Gaming Channel …
Chen Mo listed around ten video game media in one go. This Weibo even had a picture of the loading of Plants vs Zombies, the one with plants on the left and zombies on the right.
Ten minutes later, the video game media blew up!
The people in charge of managing the official Weibo were all shocked, as they could smell the scent of big news.
"Chen Mo? Isn't that the champion of the video game design competition? The producer of Flappybird? "
"He's releasing a new game? It's only been three months! That's too fast, and he wants us to witness it? Does he really think his game can break a hundred thousand sales in the first month? "
"Three months of research and development is too short. It also includes the time for testing and adjustments! Don't tell me it's another mini-game like Flappybird? "
"It's impossible to replicate a game like Flappybird. He'll be digging his own grave if he makes a similar game."
"It's called Plants vs Zombies. It looks like there's a lot of content, but it's still a casual game."
"Shi Huazhe said that Chen Mo's first game wouldn't break a hundred thousand sales in the first month. Chen Mo wants everyone to witness it. Isn't he afraid of going overboard?"
"Quick, repost it! Track the stats of Plants vs Zombies after it's released! "
The video game media could smell the scent of big news, and all reposted Chen Mo's Weibo.
Of course they knew what Chen Mo was trying to do. He was just trying to ride on the hype and promote his new game for free!
However, this was like Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai. One side was willing to take the hit, and the other side was willing to take the hit. The video game media needed a hot topic like this to stir things up!
Moreover, even if the video game media didn't hype it up, Weibo alone would naturally stir up the topic.
As the video game media continued to repost it, more and more players learned of the news.
Chen Mo's first real game, Plants vs Zombies, was going to be released in the app store!
Many people were waiting to see, but the poster still caught the attention of many.
The unique style of plants and zombies quickly left an impression in the minds of the players. Many people were already looking forward to seeing how plants would fight zombies.
The video game media, on the other hand, were more interested in the stats of Plants vs Zombies, especially the first month sales.
