After leaving the Game Committee, there were no problems with American Apocalypse going through the vetting process.
It might have been a bit of a problem if the story was set in China, but it would be fine since it was set overseas. Moreover, American Apocalypse didn't have much to do with the government. The biggest villain was none other than Firefly, which was completely made up. Other than that, the zombie theme might be relatively sensitive, but considering Outlast and The Massacre of the Original, the gory scenes in American Apocalypse were a piece of cake.
Of course, only players over eighteen were allowed to play this game.
Many players greeted Chen Mo as soon as he entered the experience store.
"Yo, manager, you're out today."
"Manager, what's the next game? Can you give us a hint?"
"When will Uncharted Water be completed? I'm still waiting to see what Shambhala is like! "
Chen Mo laughed, "What's the rush? Save up first. Uncharted Water DLC and new games aren't cheap."
The player chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll clear the game in the experience store."
Chen Mo said with a pained tone, "Why don't you buy a copy of such a good game? My games are family heirlooms, how can I just experience it once? "
The player scratched his head, "I don't have the money, manager. What if I can't afford a VR pod?"
Chen Mo said, "Then why are you spending all day in the experience store? Go and earn some money!"
The player said, "… That hurts, manager! We can still be good friends if you give up on the Infinite Controller! "
The player base in the experience store was relatively fixed. Most of them were from the Imperial Capital, but there were also some players from other parts of the country who came on a regular 'pilgrimage'. However, it was impossible for these players to stay in the Imperial Capital for a long time. They would come to the experience store to take a few pictures and try out the latest game. If they had the chance, they would also take a picture with Chen Mo and ask for an autograph.
Chen Mo would usually sit on the first floor when he had nothing to do. With his popularity, he should have many fans. However, the players were more self-aware, knowing that Chen Mo was usually busy, so they would at most chat with him and not disturb him.
As Chen Mo was about to go upstairs, an old man walked in.
The main reason why he was more eye-catching was that the old man was indeed not young. He looked to be in his fifties, and his hair was half white. However, he was in good spirits.
He was dressed rather plainly in a white short-sleeved singlet and casual pants. If he had a cattail leaf fan in his hand, it wouldn't be out of place for him to play chess by the roadside.
Most of the customers in the experience store were young people in their twenties, with the oldest being a middle-aged man in his forties. It was rare to see an old man like him.
The old man didn't seem to care about his appearance, unlike those rich old men who had money and time on their hands. However, the players didn't look at him that much, as they were all players in the experience store.
On the contrary, many players were envious. They felt that it would be great if they could still play games happily at this age.
The girl at the front desk was also a little surprised, but she still smiled at the old man and said, "Sir, are you here to look for someone or to experience the game?"
"Ah, what did you say?" Sir System was obviously a little deaf.
The girl at the front desk spoke a little louder, "I said, are you here to look for someone or to play the game?"
"Oh, can I ask if you can play that game where you go into a house and there's a little girl who talks to you?" asked the old man.
The girl at the front desk took a while to process this, "Sir, are you talking about Seaside Mansion?"
The old man said, "Ah, I don't know what it's called. I heard that you go into a house and there's a little girl who talks to you."
The girl at the front desk said, "That's Seaside Mansion. You can swipe your ID here and take the elevator to the VR gaming experience area after paying. "
The old man said as he took out his ID, "Alright, how do you charge me?"
Chen Mo walked over, "Just swipe your ID, there's no charge."
The girl at the front desk nodded, "Alright, manager. I'm done, please keep your ID safe. "
Chen Mo said to the old man, "That's great, I'll take you there."
The old man was quite happy, "Ah, alright, that's great! Thank you, young man."
Chen Mo led the old man into the elevator and asked, "Sir, I'm Chen Mo, what's your name?"
The old man said, "Oh, my surname is Zhang, what's your name?"
Chen Mo said, "Chen Mo, Sir."
The old man asked, "Chen what?"
Chen Mo said, "… Chen Mo."
The old man said, "Alright, I'll call you Little Chen."
Chen Mo said, "Alright, you can call me whatever you want …"
Looks like this old man isn't just deaf, his memory isn't too good either …
Chen Mo led Sir Zhang to the VR gaming experience area. It was lunchtime, so there were two gaming pods that were empty.
Chen Mo asked, "Sir, do you have an account?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, yes, I asked my daughter to apply for one for me."
Chen Mo said, "Alright, you can just enter the gaming pod and log into the game. This game is called Seaside Mansion, make sure you don't enter the wrong one."
"Alright, alright, I got it. Thank you Little Chen," said Sir Zhang as he entered the gaming pod.
Chen Mo was still a bit worried as he watched Sir Zhang enter the gaming pod. He specifically went to the receptionist on the third floor to ask her to keep an eye on the old man and help him solve any problems.
There were games like Outlast in the gaming pod. It would be a pain in the ass if the old man accidentally clicked into it. Although the health status of the player would be checked before entering the game, so there was almost no possibility of any problems, it was always good to keep an eye on it.
After settling the old man down, Chen Mo returned to the fourth floor for the meeting.
Chen Mo's plan was to transfer some of the people who were originally working on Uncharted Waters DLC to work on American Apocalypse at the same time. Actually, a lot of the follow-up content to Uncharted Waters had already been developed, so he could transfer some people over. Moreover, many of the gameplay in American Apocalypse could be borrowed from Uncharted Waters, so the development pressure wouldn't be that great.

"This time, the new game is called 'Doomsday'."
"This game has an apocalyptic theme, with a zombie theme. But unlike previous zombie themes, it will focus on the game's plot and the player's emotional experience. Simply put, it will highlight the warmth between people in the apocalypse.
