Chapter 255 The location of the new experience store
After sending the father and daughter away, Chen Mo returned to the experience store.
What touched Nini's affairs still touched him, mainly because he suddenly realized a problem that had been overlooked before.
What is a game?
For a designer, games have multiple attributes.
For different groups of people, the games in each person's eyes are also different.
It may be a work of art, a cultural product that combines many design concepts and artistic concepts.
It may be a great way to entertain and the best way to relieve stress after work.
It may be a career, an e-sports, and a constant transcendence of oneself.
It may be "spiritual opium", "flood and beast", "playing with things and losing one's ambition", and something that many people avoid.
Everyone knows that games can touch people, give people happiness, and give people negative emotions.
Of course, games may also empty your wallet and allow game developers to make a lot of money.
But Chen Mo also realized that in the process of constantly making the game, he seemed to have ignored some of the original and initial things, that is, the fun brought by the game itself.
From the time we entered the industry to the present, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Mo walked smoothly and made great profits in all the games, but in fact, no one could see the hardships in it.
Since entering the industry, Chen Mo has almost been working hard to develop new games, basically ensuring that he has developed 3 to 4 new games every year, and there must be a masterpiece with an investment of over 100 million yuan.
In addition, in order to accumulate funds faster and to make his own development of games exceed the progress of the game design concepts of designers in this world, Chen Mo has also made many krypton gold games.
Basically, I'm working every day.
Before the game is developed, market research is conducted, player preferences are analyzed, and game design plans are planned. During the development process, everyone is coordinated to fully control the game content, including gameplay, art, music, etc.; before the game is launched, various methods are used to promote and create momentum; after the game is launched, players are collected and feedback is modified, and then the next game is soon started.
It can be said that in the entire team, Chen Mo can replace the role of any person, but no one can replace the role of Chen Mo.
Putting aside other factors, at least in terms of diligence, Chen Mo should not lose to anyone in this world game circle.
Of course, there are Chen Mo’s own personality factors and certain external environmental factors.
Although Chen Mo has many classic game ideas, creativity is not valuable in the gaming circle.
Compared with the power of channels and capital, creativity is sometimes very fragile.
Therefore, Chen Mo had to be careful before, because once many opportunities are missed, it will be difficult to seize.
But after seeing Nini playing "Minecraft", Chen Mo suddenly realized something.
Thunder Interactive Entertainment is now an influential game company, and he is no longer the unknown new designer before.
He can slow down a little, no longer have to calculate every step so accurately as before, and no mistakes can be made in every step.
Every player should be treated as a living person, rather than cold data.
You should consider things other than making money.
...
On the second floor of the experience store, Chen Mo’s own studio.
Lin Xiao submitted a written document to Chen Mo: "Shop Manager, the renovation of the new store has been basically completed, and it is done according to your previous plan. This is a detailed report material."
Chen Mo reached out to take it: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xiao asked: "Then, store manager, when will we move there? If the date is determined, I will notify everyone."
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Next week, I can notify everyone now."
Lin Xiao nodded: "Okay."
After Lin Xiao left, Chen Mo began to look through the report materials.
The location selection issue of the new experience store was considered in November last year, before the development of "Minecraft". During this period, Lin Xiao also traveled to the entire imperial capital and found many places.
Finally, Chen Mo finalized a four-story office building.
It is located in the northeast of the imperial capital, between the Third Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road, just at the entrance of the subway. The floor of this office building is relatively low, mainly because there are historical sites along the line and over-height buildings are not allowed, so this building has only been built for four floors.
The entire building was under construction and was completed in March this year. Chen Mo was quite satisfied with the structure and location of the building, so he decided to buy it directly.
The price is 46,000 per square meter, and the 4th floor is 6,400 square meters, totaling 290 million yuan. This price is a bit more expensive overall, but it has many benefits. First, the transportation is particularly convenient, second, it is closer to Chen Mo's current experience store, and third, the entire area and the number of floors meet Chen Mo's requirements, so I decided to buy it directly.
After the completion in March, I found a special decoration company to design it, renovate it for a while, and slightly changed the structure of the building. Various decorations were arranged inside and outside the building.
In addition to other messy expenses and the cost of purchasing various equipment from the experience store, Chen Mo spent a total of over 300 million yuan. Until now, the decoration of the new experience store has been completed.
The structure of the entire experience store was planned by Chen Mo himself.
After leaving the subway entrance, you can walk to the main entrance of the experience store. The first floor lobby is the front desk and seating area. There are many sofas for players to rest and chat. There are special coffee machines and beverages available.
The entrance to the hall is facing the elevator, and there are two elevators that can pass through the first to fourth floors.
The channels on both sides connect the main available areas. The first floor is the PC game experience area, which is similar to the Internet cafe. There are two areas on the left and right of the hall. The combined available area is about 1,200 square meters, with a total of 200 computers.
The second floor is a holographic projection viewing zone and a mobile game experience zone. There is no lobby on the second, third and fourth floors, but there is a girl in the front desk responsible for receiving players.
The holographic projection viewing zone has a large holographic projection device and two small holographic projection devices. This device can display the scenes and pictures in the game through holographic projection.
However, in this world, this holographic projection device is not popular because it is extremely expensive and not very practical. Chen Mo bought it to consider preparing for future e-sports games.
In addition, there is a huge LED screen on the wall of the second floor of the viewing area. Like the screens for concerts and e-sports competitions, it is also for players to watch the game.
In other areas, some are auditoriums and some are mobile game experience areas. In addition, there are mobile phones and tablets fixed with the seats for players to experience.
