The experience store opened its doors early the next day.
Soon after the doors were opened, Jia Peng brought over so friends.
Good morning, manager. Are you releasing your ga today? asked Jia Peng.
Chen Mo nodded, Yeah, why did you guys co over so early?
Jia Peng answered, Isnt Plants vs Zombies being released? Since we dont have classes today, were here to cheer you on.
Chen Mo said, Sure! Welco! Co in and take a seat. How many levels have you beaten in endless mode?
Jia Peng quickly replied, Eighty-four levels. Manager, is endless mode actually endless? Is there an upper limit?
Chen Mo replied, Only eighty-four? The real ga starts beyond level one hundred, Ill tell you straight up.
Jia Peng was speechless, What the-? Are you crazy? Im feeling like Im losing my footing at level eighty-four. Its a struggle just to get through another level.
The other guys also joined in nodding, Yeah! It starts at level one hundred? Are you playing the sa ga as we are?
Chen Mo smiled and said no more.
Four days had passed, and Jia Peng and his friends would be the first batch of players, completing all of adventure mode. The adventure mode wasnt ant to be hard, Chen Mo set it to be sa as the original version. As long as you were of average IQ, you should be able to beat it, given so ti.
Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng thought that the ga ended after beating adventure mode, as if it was a puzzle ga, finally managing to beat it after playing it obsessively for three or four days. The ga content was already quite rich for a puzzle ga.
In the end, they found out that the ga had an endless mode!
After trying it out, it had opened them up to a whole new world. As the difficulty of the levels increased slowly but surely, they realized that what they thought was a good grasp of the ga was completely naivete.
So far, Wen Lingwei was at the top of the leaderboards with ninety-three levels. The others were around sixty to eighty, with a clear feeling of hopelessness.
These players thought that their strategy in adventure mode was strong, but as they entered endless mode, the sa strategy would be blown to pieces. It was like playing a whole new ga.
Therefore, they ca to Chen Mos experience store often to play the ga and to share their experiences. They also wanted to get so tips from Chen Mo for the best, most advanced strategy, and to continue grinding their rankings on the leaderboards.
Jia Peng and his buddies turned on the computers that they were so familiar with and continued playing through endless mode after launching the ga and logging in.
Manager, when is your ga going to go live? Jia Peng asked.
Chen Mo replied, Probably around twelve.
Jia Peng nodded and replied, Alright, when the ti cos well be the first to download and give you a five star rating.
The ti the ga was released didnt matter for new gas, but the nearest hour was usually chosen to make the statistics easier to track.
Statistics during the twenty-four hours after the ga went live were the most important, most notably the downloads and ratings as both of them directly influenced the rankings and promotions on the official app store.
Whenever Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt or Zen Entertainnt would release, they would hype up the ga in advance to draw in large numbers of players on release, taking the top spot of the new recomnded gas with no problems.
Chen Mo didnt have that much money to promote his ga, but he had other plans.
At 10 am, Chen Mo already released his ga into the store, and the adspace in Flappybird contained an ad for Plants vs Zombies. Clicking on the ad would redirect the player to the app store download page for Plants vs Zombies.
How many players did Flappybird currently have? Chen Mo didnt know the number, but it wasnt small. Most of the players of Flappybird would be casual gars, so using it to promote Plants vs Zombies was definitely a good idea.
Chen Mo didnt expect Flappybird to rake in any money for the mont, as it was free to download, instead expecting it put his na out to as many people as possible, and convert them into Plants vs Zombies players.
Other than that, Chen Mo also had the video ga dia in mind.
Theoretically, he was just a D-grade video ga designer, nobody would care if he released a ga.
The video ga dia had power, but who would give their ti to a nobody D-grade video ga designer?
However, Chen Mo wasnt a nobody, and already had his na out there.
He was the winner of the video ga designing competition, who also happened to have a conflict with Shi Huazhe, both incidents known on video ga dia.
Chen Mo posted on Weibo:
Flappybird is now on the appstore for free (free forever!). My new ga Plants vs Zombies will be out at 12pm, on both PC and mobile. Lets see if we can break a hundred thousand downloads in the first month.
@Shihuazhe, @Videoga Info Network, , @Wechat Gaming Channel, @Hengyou Video Gas Channel
Chen Mo tagged dozens of video ga dia companies and included the loading screen of Plants vs Zombies (the one with plants on the left and zombies on the right) as a promotional poster.
Within ten minutes, the video ga dia was all over it!
The managers of the official Weibo accounts were all drawn out by the sll of a new tagline.
Chen Mo? Wasnt that the champion of the video ga designing competition? The creator of Flappybird?
Hes about to release his new ga? Its only been three or so months! Isnt that too fast? And he wants us to witness it together? Does he really think his ga is gonna break a hundred thousand sales in the first month?
Three months in developnt is way too short. That ti includes testing and adjusting the ga! Could it be just another mini-ga like Flappybird?
A ga like Flappybird cannot be done again. If he makes sothing similar, hes just looking to fail.
Its called Plants vs Zombies; it seems that the content of the ga is quite rich, but it is still a casual ga.
Shi Huazhe previously stated that Chen Mos first ga would never surpass a hundred thousand downloads in the first month, and this guy wants us to witness it with him. Hes not afraid at all, this guys got guts!
Hurry up and repost! Track all the stats of Plants vs Zombies after its released!
The video ga dia got the sll of a new tagline and started reposting one after another.
Of course they knew what Chen Mo was trying to do. He was trying to make himself a focus and promote his new ga for free!
However, the video ga dia was willing to be used, as they also needed a hot topic like this to operate!
Moreover, even if the video ga dia didnt take the bait, the slow expansion of information on Weibo would an that the ga would slowly pick up in popularity either way.
Following the reposts of the video ga dia, more and more gars caught wind of this information.
Chen Mos first proper ga, Plants vs Zombies, was about to be released!
Many of them were just watching, but the post did attract the attention of the spectators.
The cartoony art style of the plants and zombies quickly made a deep impression in the minds of the gars. Many of them were already looking forward to finding out how plants were supposed to battle zombies!
Moreover, the video ga dia paid attention to the numbers Plants vs Zombies would be cranking out, paying even closer attention to the number of sales in the first month.
If it did reach a hundred thousand, for ten RMB each, it ant one million gross and about five hundred thousand RMB net. That would be an incredible number!
