Chapter 90 Dark Tide
Everyone watched Chen Mo with a gaze and put all the chips in front of him. Now his chips are nearly three times that of others.
Chen Mo divided his chips into six portions, each portion of which was more than four hundred.
"Come on, let's divide these chips." Chen Mo said, dividing the chips to the remaining six people, one for each, including Lin Hua, who had no chips anymore.
Su Jinyu was stunned: "Ah? Store Manager, are you not playing anymore?"
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Yes, playing cards with you is too bullying. If I'm here, you'll be boring."
Wen Lingwei said in surprise: "Oh my god, the stingy store manager was so generous! I thought you would win the prize by yourself!"
Chen Mo smiled: "Okay, you all know the rules. You can play, I have to go back and write the design document. Jia Peng, deal the cards well."
Everyone happily collected the chips that Chen Mo gave them and continued to play.
Chen Mo looked at the cards again and confirmed that everyone had mastered the rules, he returned to the second floor to continue sorting out the design documents.
Chen Mo taught these people to play Texas Hold'em mainly to confirm how acceptable Texas Hold'em is in this world. This is also equivalent to a preview of the promotion game.
The rules of Texas Hold'em are extremely complete, because countless games have been verified in their previous lives, and they can be said to be free of loopholes. However, how to use its characteristics to promote "Thunder Chess and Cards"? This is the main issue Chen Mo is considering.
Like Texas Hold'em's popularity abroad is mainly because some professional players can make stable profits in Texas Hold'em. After all, it is because of money, which is the most effective stimulus.
But Chen Mo couldn't do this. On the one hand, playing money was a gathering gambling, which was an illegal act. On the other hand, gambling was harmful to society. Chen Mo didn't want to destroy some people because of a game he made.
Therefore, Chen Mo's idea is to cut off the gambling attributes in the German poker to the greatest extent and promote them in the form of a game. Let players experience the fun of German poker by playing Happy Beans.
Just like Landlord and Mahjong, the gambling attributes are removed, they are both good chess and card games.
In many technology circles and investment circles in their previous life, they like to play del Poker, but it is not entirely because of money. All of these people have a net worth of over 100 million, so they don’t make money by playing del Poker.
For them, Texas is a puzzle game, which is very similar to entrepreneurship and investment. It is necessary to judge the other party’s behavior, decide strategies based on the other party, and stop losses in time when danger is discovered.
After verifying that Texas Hold'em is also very attractive to people in this world, Chen Mo already has a preliminary promotion plan in his mind. Through this plan, he can maximize users of other chess and card games, so that they can experience the fun of Texas Hold'em and eventually stay.
...
As the days pass by, the development plans of "Lifeline" and "Thunder Chess and Cards" are also steadily advancing.
In the first German holdout match, Zheng Hongxi finally defeated Wen Lingwei with his unstoppable European emperor attributes and received a prize of 5,000 yuan.
Chen Mo also made a special small trophy with the words engraved on it: "The First Thunder Poker Internal Championship".
From then on, everyone's interests were all aroused. Several people played poker in the conference room every day without doing anything, and they all held their breath, hoping to win the first place next week and get prizes and trophys.
What surprised everyone was that the deeper they played, the more hidden tricks they found. This is a veritable "easy to get started, difficult to master" game.
And two weeks later, most people have become addicted to this kind of poker.
Of course, this is under the premise of stimulation of prizes.
If these prizes cost several thousand yuan, these people will be in a lack of interest.
As for the plot of "Lifeline", it is constantly being improved. Zheng Hongxi doesn't know how many drafts she has revised, but it is indeed becoming more and more complicated and more interesting.
Chen Mo sorted out all the conversation time, basically ensuring that the rhythm of the entire game is the same as in the previous life. Of course, the specific text content must be different, but the impact is not big.
Both games this time are very simple for Chen Mo, so they can be done in one month, including art resources. The next step is to continuously adjust them and modify some user experience and details.
During this month, the seemingly calm mobile game circle actually brewed a dark tide.
As Chen Mo heard through some miscellaneous channels, at least three or four game companies were developing card games similar to "My Name is MT".
This is just what Chen Mo heard of, and I guess more of what I haven't heard of. In terms of progress, these games will definitely be developed within two months and slow within four months. They will definitely be launched one after another.
The mobile game market is very likely to usher in a wave of card games like Chen Mo's previous life, and players will once again experience the fear of being dominated by card games.
These card games may have different artistic performances and different themes, but one thing is definitely the same, that is, their profit model and numerical structure must be highly referenced by "My Name is MT".
However, Chen Mo didn't care at all, and for him, this was not entirely bad news.
"My Name is Mt" has firmly occupied the first-mover advantage, and the subsequent piles of card games will always live under the shadow of "My Name is Mt", and it will not shake the status of "My Name is Mt".
These games will objectively play the role of "expanding the card game user base".
Of course, these fast-moving game developers will inevitably make a lot of money, but this is an inevitable thing. For Chen Mo, I will make money as well as you make money, but I will make more money than you.
Moreover, the huge flood of card games was just distracting the attention of the game circle, so Chen Mo had more space to pave the way for his future planning.
What really threatens "My Name is MT" is a game like "Dota Legend" that is comprehensively innovative in gameplay and surpasses the first generation of domestic cards. However, Chen Mo estimated that it will take as fast as a year for other designers to reach the design level of "Dota Legend".
Because the first-generation cards are originally a type of game that makes money while lying down, under the stimulation of this powerful profitability, most designers will lose their ambition and even fall into a "comfort zone" and are unwilling to innovate the gameplay of the first-generation cards.
Only when players get tired of playing and are completely tired of it will designers seek innovation and change and reform the gameplay of the first generation of cards.
