After more than a month of development, Thunderbolt Tabletop was officially released into the official app store and the Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform!
On the Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform, Thunderbolt Tabletop's banner was placed on the top of the 'Recommended of the Month'. Apart from the usual game name and logo, there was also a slogan.
"Who's the King of Poker? Gaming pods will be given away every week! "
The Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform had tens of millions of active users, with over two million concurrent users. The promotional spot would be on the Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform's front page for a month, the effect was self-evident.
Apart from the promotional spot, Chen Mo also promoted it on his Weibo and Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, using every method he could think of.
Many players who had been paying attention to this already knew that Chen Mo was going to release a new game, but they didn't expect Chen Mo to spend more than a month making a tabletop game?
What a waste of a promotional spot!
The players were all discussing.
"Unbelievable, Chen Mo didn't continue making scamming games? That doesn't make sense! Could it be that his moral integrity has returned? "
"Damn, why are you making tabletop? There's no future in tabletop! Why don't you just keep making scamming games! "
"What a waste of such a good promotional spot. It used to be used to promote large scale VR games, but Chen Mo used it to promote tabletop! Oh my god! "
"Making it in just over a month, is that even possible?"
"You're wasting your time! Why don't you go back and work on the sequel to Plants vs Zombies! "
"The chess and cards have all been destroyed! Emperor Dynasty Tabletop has been running for so long, it's too late for you to do it now! "
"A gaming pod every week? You're really willing to spend so much, but why do I feel like you're going to lose everything … "
"It's three a week, with all three types of tabletop available!"
"Whatever, I'll go check it out. I'm missing a gaming pod anyway."
"… Previous poster, do you still not understand how Thunderbolt Gaming works? If you're unlucky, don't even think about it! "
"But … this is a competition!"
There were all sorts of comments.
However, most of them were attracted by the 'one gaming pod every week' gimmick.
Chen Mo also announced the rules of the competition on his Weibo.
Thunderbolt Poker, Dou Dizhu, and Mahjong. Each of these three tabletop games had a competition arena.
From Monday to Saturday, starting at 10 AM and ending at 10 PM, a tournament would be held every two hours. The tournament was divided into a number of tables (based on the number of registered players), and each table was limited to 50 to 60 people. Players who had not participated in the tournament today had priority.
Among them, 10 o 'clock, 12 o' clock, 14 o 'clock, and 16 o' clock were all free of charge. At 18 o 'clock and 20 o' clock, there was a 30 minute delay in registration. You could only enter after paying a certain amount of Happy Beans.
In all competitions, only the top three would receive rewards. According to the reward ratio, the first place would receive 60%, the second 30%, and the third 10%.
The reward was a large number of Happy Beans and a small number of points. A large number of points were awarded at the Paying Station.
On Sunday, based on this week's score, the top 50 would enter the finals table. Once again, the top three would be decided at the finals table, and they would receive physical rewards.
First place: One VR gaming pod, worth about 80,000 yuan.
Second place: A high-end desktop computer, worth about ten thousand yuan.
Third place: A high-end phone, worth about 7,000 yuan.
There were competitions for each of the three card types, which meant that Chen Mo would be giving away around three hundred thousand RMB worth of prizes every week.
Moreover, this was different from the lottery. The lottery could be tampered with and the prizes could be given to internal personnel. But Chen Mo was hosting a tournament, and first place was first place. Those who were truly capable would definitely be able to place, and wouldn't be cheated.
The VR gaming pods in this world cost between fifty thousand to two hundred thousand. Chen Mo chose a pod that cost around eighty thousand, which was considered average, but it was more than enough, not to mention he had a high-end computer and phone.
As soon as the news came out, it spread like wildfire among tabletop players. More and more players learned of the news through Weibo and forums. Even many non-core tabletop players were eager to take action.
After all, this wasn't a lucky draw, but a competition. Moreover, it was a chess game competition.
Most players felt that luck played a big role in a game like Fight the Landlord. If you were lucky, you could keep winning. Moreover, Chen Mo's tabletop game was completely free, and the competition was absolutely fair, so everyone wanted to try their luck.
Even if he couldn't win the VR pod, winning a computer or cell phone was pretty good too!
…
On the day of its release, Thunderbolt Tabletop's download count shot up to two hundred and eighty thousand, and it was still rising!
Free tabletop game, small installation, complete beginner guide, Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform's promotion, and the excitement of the prizes … All these factors combined caused Thunderbolt Tabletop's download count to explode in a short amount of time.
Of course, around eighty to ninety percent of the players came just to join in the fun, hoping that they would be the lucky one to win the VR pod.
"Gosh, why are there so many beginner guides? Oh, at least I can skip them. There's even a guide for such a simple poker game? "
"It's quite friendly for beginners. I've always been confused about the rules, but now I've finally figured it out …"
"Really? There's even a tournament? Continuous elimination until the first place is decided? It's more interesting than the main hall table. "
"Thunderbolt Poker? A new game genre? "
"I feel like the competition in Dou Dizhu and Mahjong is too intense. Does this new poker game also give out VR pods? I'm going to try it out."
After researching the rules, the players realized that they had to make it to the finals on Sunday to get into the top three and win the prizes. However, if they wanted to make it to the finals, they had to win as many points as possible from the regular tables from Monday to Saturday.
For the matches at night, they could win more points, but they needed Happy Beans to enter the finals. Therefore, they had to go to the regular tables, or use their own money to buy Happy Beans.
Moreover, many players had already realized that Thunderbolt Poker might be a good entry point.
Dou Dizhu and Mahjong had a lot of players, so the competition would be intense. However, Thunderbolt Poker also gave out VR pods, and everyone was starting from scratch, so the competition would be much weaker.
As a result, a large group of players entered Thunderbolt Poker, wanting to specialize in this new poker game and win the prizes.
The influx of players on the first day filled up the main hall and tournament grounds of Thunderbolt Tabletop, further increasing the popularity of the game.
