Chapter 23 A Day without Guests
Chen Mo sat at the bar on the first floor, so that he could see the customers outside the store at any time.
The laptop was also moved to the bar by Chen Mo. No guests came, so he continued to play "Plants vs. Zombies" to see if there was anything that needed to be modified.
Chen Mo's game has been in development for more than three months, from the end of August to December, and it's almost winter.
The weather outside is getting colder, and the pedestrians are all wearing trousers and jackets. Today's weather is good, there is no wind, and it is very suitable for traveling.
Chen Mo played "Plants vs. Zombies" for an hour and found nothing wrong. He stood up and walked around the first floor of the experience store.
No guests come, it's a bit painful.
Chen Mo opened a can of Coke and sat back at the bar again.
At this time, he remembered that "" has passed the free period, and from now on he can officially put this game on the application market.
Chen Mo intends to let "" and "Plants vs. Zombies" go online together, and by the way, use the advertisement space of "" to promote "Plants vs. Zombies".
In fact, the most popular period of "" was the months when it first appeared. Now three months have passed. Many players who are interested in this game have already played it, and the popularity has gradually subsided. It may have been playing all the time, so now that it is online, "" should not make too much money.
As for how much money Chen Mo missed, it's hard to estimate, because in the free trial stage, all game data is on the side of the competition organizer, and Chen Mo himself doesn't know how many times "" has generated advertisements.
"Forget it, it's just a matter of saving character."
Although he felt that he had missed several hundred million, Chen Mo was relieved quickly. There are still many opportunities to make money in the future, and he is not in a hurry.
At this moment, a girl came to the door of the experience store and looked around.
This girl dresses casually, with a thin coat and denim trousers. She looks a little older than Chen Mo, about 26 years old. She looks pretty and has a long ponytail, giving a more neutral look. The feeling is very capable.
Chen Mo said hello: "Hello."
The girl stood at the door and looked at the signboard of the experience store, and then looked at the configuration inside the store: "Are you a game designer? Is this a game experience store?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."
The girl patted her chest: "Oh, that's good. I thought it was a newly opened Internet cafe before, which made me nervous for a long time."
Chen Mo: "?"
The girl walked into the store and explained, "Oh, I'm the owner of the 'Zhiyuan Internet Cafe' over the corner, here to spy on the enemy."
Halo, co-author is not a player, but a peer!
Chen Mo was also a little speechless. This girl opened an Internet cafe herself, and she definitely didn't come to experience the game. She just wanted to see if her store was an Internet cafe or an experience store, and whether it would steal her business.
The girl smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, but since you're not an internet cafe, but an experience store, it doesn't matter. We'll be neighbors in the future, so we can move around more."
Internet cafes and experience stores have similar functions, but in fact there is no direct competition. Because in the experience store, players can only play the designer's works, which is equivalent to early experience.
Designers generally do not put other games, and do not allow players to play other games in the experience store.
Chen Mo nodded: "It's okay, you can come and sit at any time, there shouldn't be too many guests here."
"Okay." The girl really didn't see the outside world. She sat on the sofa and opened a can of Coke.
Chen Mo said, "Uh... this drink is not free."
The girl put the coke back: "I'm sorry, I'm used to taking it in my own store, hehe."
The girl looked at the layout of the hall: "Your experience store is quite spacious, so how many machines are there? It's a bit of a waste.
"
Chen Mo said: "Well, the experience store is mainly for players to experience, not for profit, so the layout is looser."
The girl said: "It's pretty good, I envy you all the tall designers. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhuo Yao."
Chen Mo said: "It's a pleasure to meet, my name is Chen Mo. I have a new game that has not been launched yet, do you want to play it?"
Zhuo Yao waved his hand: "No, I still have something to do at my Internet cafe. I took the time to sneak out. I'll come over to play another day."
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, welcome anytime."
Zhuo Yao stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and asked, "How much is your money per hour?"
Chen Mo said, "Five dollars."
Zhuo Yao said in surprise: "A bit expensive, right? My internet cafe lobby area is only four yuan. You are a new experience store, so there should only be two or three games, right?"
Chen Mo said: "There is only one game for now."
Zhuo Yao reminded: "I think you should set the price a little lower. It's free. You are an experience store, and you don't need to consider profitability. Your price is a bit...not very close to the people."
Chen Mo smiled: "I know, I will consider it."
Zhuo Yao nodded: "Okay, then I'll go first, and I'll come to visit another day. Come on, come on, develop a popular game early, and my Internet cafe will be able to follow you."
Chen Mo smiled: "It's easy to say."
After sending Zhuo Yao away, Chen Mo's experience store returned to a deserted state.
Chen Mo is not in a hurry. Experience stores like this need to be accumulated, and Chen Mo has not done any publicity. It is normal for no one to come. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com
In terms of location, the location of the experience store is neither good nor bad. The location is indeed a bit remote, but there is a community nearby, and there is a university further away, and there is a lot of traffic.
After waiting for another half an hour, a second guest came.
This guy's hair is a little oily and his eyes are a little dull, as if he hasn't woken up too much. At first glance, he looks like a teenager who is addicted to the Internet.
He came to the door of the experience store, glanced at the sign of the "Thunder Game Experience Store", and said to himself: "Thunder Games, I haven't heard of it."
The buddy looked at the store again and asked Chen Mo, "I said, this is an experience store? Isn't it an internet cafe?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it's not an internet cafe."
"Oh." The internet addict was a little disappointed, apparently he was looking for an internet cafe. Although the experience store can also play games, it can only play games from this company, and there are too few games.
What's more, the company has never heard of it.
The internet-addicted teenager hesitated for a moment, and then said to himself, "Forget it, there are no more places for internet cafes nearby. Why don't you take a look at this one and pass the time."
He walked into the store and took out his ID card and mobile phone: "Boss, how much does it cost you an hour?"
Chen Mo said, "Five dollars."
The internet-addicted teenager was stunned: "What? Five dollars? Uh...forget it."
The internet addict turned his head and left.
"..."
Chen Mo was a little speechless, this guy is really straightforward! Five dollars to play for an hour doesn't matter, right? As for turning your head and leaving?
five yuan!
What can you do with five dollars this year? That's two popsicles money!
It's not enough for the first charge of the game, the first charge of the game costs 6 yuan!
...
No way, Chen Mo had to continue to wait.
