"My goodness, such a grand background? There's even pictures … "
"That's a lot of words, forget it."
"Hmm, it looks like a very complete western fantasy world."
The reactions of the audience were mixed. Many of the impatient ones just casually flipped through the pages and closed it. Of course, there were also those that were more interested in it, and would look at the settings and background in more detail.
The number of people that liked western fantasy in the parallel world was just as small as in Chen Mo's previous world, but there were still some. Moreover, even if most people didn't like western fantasy, they wouldn't be disgusted by it.
World of Azeroth was compiled by Chen Mo based on the story of World of Warcraft from his previous world, along with some pictures. The pictures were mainly concept art of various races, settings, and items. Although they were relatively simple, they were much more expressive than words.
Finally, I Am MT's twenty-four hour views were released. The first episode had been streamed 1.3 million times!
Chen Mo didn't sleep well that night. Animations were a completely new field to him, and he had no idea how far he could go.
However, Chen Mo was a bit more relieved after seeing the numbers.
The first day's views weren't high, but they weren't low either. At least compared to the average Chinese manga, this was a decent number. Of course, it couldn't be compared to the super popular ones.
Plants vs Zombies had sold more than a million copies, and all of these people were paying attention to Chen Mo's new game.
Coupled with the reputation of Dazzling Aurora Studio, the recommended spot on the video hosting website, the popularity from the bet, and the coverage from various video game media, I Am MT garnered the attention of a large number of players the moment it was released. In the following week, the views would explode once again.
Compared to the views, Chen Mo was more concerned about the comments.
Overall, there were very few negative comments, and most of them were focused on 'short time' and 'insufficient background'. As for the positive comments, they were mainly focused on 'novel theme', 'pleasing setting', and 'humorous'.
The views for the last two episodes decreased, but this was normal.
Moreover, as I Am MT's views continued to increase, the anime was also getting more and more popular on the video hosting websites. According to Guo Feng's estimates, it should be able to reach the recommended spots on the homepage of many video hosting websites within a week!
At that time, even more viewers would be attracted to the anime.
…
Qiu Bin was also paying attention to this matter.
He had finished the third episode of I Am MT, and his eyebrows were furrowed.
Qiu Bin was a little confused. What did that mean? Chen Mo hadn't heard anything about his game, and now he was making an anime?
Although I Am MT was quite popular, in Qiu Bin's eyes, it was a crooked path. Even if there was a game that had something to do with the anime, what would the conversion rate be?
Many anime lovers did not play games, and gamers would not fork out money for an anime. At the end of the day, it all depended on the quality of the game.
In this world, some popular IPs were indeed very expensive, but they were usually used for movie adaptations. Even if a small number of IPs were sold to game companies, they were usually used for large-scale VR games.
How long has Chen Mo been in the industry? He was only a C-grade video game designer, and he wanted to go down the path of animations and games? Aren't they too naive?
No matter how Qiu Bin thought about it, he didn't think Chen Mo's plan would work. At first, he was a little worried, but now he felt more at ease.
…
As the days went by, as the popularity of I Am MT continued to rise, the development of I Am MT's mobile game was progressing smoothly as well.
The numbers for I Am MT kept increasing after it was released. On the third day, it made it onto many video websites' homepage recommendations and trending lists, and even became a trending topic on Weibo.
The first episode had 3.29 million views in its first week, and two months after it was released, the first ten episodes of the first season had more than fifty million views!
Chen Mo was still considering whether or not he should continue with the second season, but Guo Feng was much more determined than he was. Under Guo Feng's strong request, Chen Mo used the Super Accelerator to create the second season's script and storyboards.
The anime was a little popular. Although it wasn't as popular as it was in his previous life, Chen Mo felt that it was enough.
Moreover, what surprised Chen Mo the most was that many viewers were very passionate about World of Azeroth. In the comments section of the video and on the official website of World of Azeroth, many players were discussing the background of the story. There were even some Doujinshi created.
Due to this, Chen Mo quickly created a forum on the World of Azeroth website. The name was the same as in his previous life, Azeroth National Geographic Forum (NGA). Players could use their Thunderbolt Game Pass to log in and freely post original content, including Doujinshi, artwork, etc.
There was still one month left until the game's release. I Am MT's content had been completed, and all the art resources were in place. Chen Mo's next step was to conduct a series of tests, and install the game on the phones and tablets in the experience store.
"Phew, it's finally done."
Chen Mo let out a long sigh.
From what he could see, the game was complete, and was ready for release. The next step was to make adjustments based on the player's experience.
These adjustments were mainly in three areas, game length, level difficulty, and prices. Although Chen Mo had plenty of experience in these three areas in his previous life, he wasn't sure if the players of this world would be able to adapt.
Chen Mo went downstairs, and the projector on the first floor was showing the second episode of the second season of I Am MT.
In the second season, the length of the anime had been extended to twenty-four minutes, and the content was much richer than the first episode. The production cost had also doubled.
Chen Mo had already invested all of the profits from Plants vs Zombies in the past two months into the second season.
After all, Plants vs Zombies was a single player game, and the profits would definitely decrease in the future. Why was Chen Mo in such a rush to make a mobile card game? It was because he wanted to get out of his current predicament as soon as possible. Only with money and ability could he make something that was well received in his previous life.
After the second episode was shown, everyone was discussing it.
"Wow, it feels like we're entering a big scene."
"I used to think that the humans were all bad characters, and thought that this was an anti-human anime … But it seems like the humans have a pretty good plot as well."
"It's so much better now that the time is extended."
"We have to wait until next week again."
"Not bad, we're faster than the other websites. This is the premiere after all."
Chen Mo turned off the projector and said to the crowd, "I have good news. I Am MT's mobile game has been completed, and you can play it now."
"Really? Congratulations, manager! I'll go play it now, "said Jia Peng.
Wen Lingwei handed her phone to Jia Peng, "Help me install one too."
