“The effect of the video was very good. While it caused players to repost it crazily, it also promoted the sales of Switch and the download count of glory of kings. ”

“It was almost the end of the year, and many game companies had a lot of internal affairs to deal with. They had to be busy with year-end summary and annual meetings. Many games didn’t have to rush to release before the new year, and many were delayed until after the new year. ”

!!
“On the one hand, players were busy before the Spring Festival, so the publicity effect of releasing a new game might not be good. It would be good to release it during the spring Festival, but this meant that a group of people would have to work overtime during the spring Festival, which was generally done by small companies. ”

“On the other hand, after being taught a lesson by Chen Mo for two consecutive years, these video game companies had basically reached a consensus to avoid Chen Mo during the spring Festival … ”

“Since any game released during the spring Festival would clash with Chen Mo ‘s, it would be better to avoid it and spend the new year in peace. After the new year, Chen Mo’s new game would be less popular, then he would release his own game. Wouldn’t that be great … ”

“As for the period before and during the spring Festival, Chen Mo would have to perform on his own. ”

“As for this year’s game of the year, although there was still some time before the awards ceremony, there was no suspense. It was most likely the Dark Souls series. ”

“There were too many reasons for this. The game had an excellent combat system and level design, a unique world setting, rich game content, and it was the first and most successful game made by the Pangu system. With so many things added to it, it would be unreasonable if it didn’t get the best of the year. ”

“Moreover, this game represented the Pangu system in a head-on confrontation with foreign games, and it was very successful, so it was reasonable to get extra points. ”

“In fact, the Dark Souls series had won many awards in Chen Mo’s previous life, especially in Europe and America. The game was recognized as a godly game. Furthermore, in the parallel world, Dark Souls could be considered the founding work of a new school of thought, which directly affected the design concept of a large number of subsequent ArbG games. ”

“Many industry insiders knew that there was no doubt that Dark Souls would win the Game of the Year award ceremony. The only question was, what kind of waves would it set off in the foreign gaming circles? ”

……

“At the same time, Chen Mo finally announced the release date of Slayers, February 2nd! ”

“The players didn’t have the time to complain about this stupid day. Anyway, they knew that the release date was earlier than they had expected, much earlier! ”

“While they were lamenting about Chen Mo’s high yield, many players were also guessing that the game capacity of sadomasochism wouldn’t be that big, probably not on the same level as Dark Souls. ”

“But thinking about it, Chen Mo had put most of his energy into dark Souls this year. If it was any other videogame designer, they might as well take a break before the new year and make a new game after. ”

“The ‘model worker’ Chen Mo wouldn’t be idle, but he probably didn’t have the energy to make a masterpiece on the same level as Dark Souls, so sadomasochism should be a VR game with an average capacity. ”

“However, the players didn’t mind because there was only one thought in their minds,’I want to play now! I’m going to leap onto roofs and vault over walls now!”” ”

“Even though it was almost the end of the year, there were still many players gathered in Chen Mo’s Experience Store, ready to try out the new game. ”

……

The atmosphere in the experience store was relaxed and lively.

“After finishing the development of the original form, the entire project team was on a half-holiday, allowing all the employees who wanted to go home to complete their work at home to have an early spring Festival. ”

“There were also some employees who didn’t need to go home so early. They just played games in the experience store and chatted with the players, so they didn’t have much work pressure. ”

“Up until now, Thunderbolt entertainment had many games that were officially released online, like League of Legends, Overwatch, and glory of kings. There was still a lot of work to be done on these online games. ”

“Even though other companies were in charge of customer service and server maintenance, the project team still had to be responsible for the daily updates, operating activities, and the development of future versions of the game. ”

“As the Spring Festival approached, all of Thunderbolt Entertainment’s games in operation were preparing for the Spring Festival event. Even though there wasn’t much content, there was still a lot of work to be done. ”

“For example, New Year limited skins, New Year Special gift bags, New Year top-up activities, New Year spending activities, New Year lucky draws, New Year promotions, and so on. ”

“All in all, the new year was a good day to cheat for year-end bonuses and New Year’s money, Keke. ”

“With so many top-up activities, there would definitely be players who would ask,””””Serente, it’s the new year and you only know how to cheat players of their money. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”” ”

“Chen Zhao had already thought of an excuse.””””I don’t think so. Look at all my activities, other than new skins and gift packs, there are only discounts and promotions. I’m losing money, why do I have to feel guilty?”” ”

“Well, it was reasonable and there was no problem! Salent had worked so hard to do so many events and create so many beautiful skins. If the players did not buy them, would they still be human? ”

……

Many players greeted Chen Mo in the lobby.

“””Good Morning, manager!”” ”

“””Manager, can we try out the original form?”” ”

“””Manager, can you tell me the truth? is this game a soul-based battle game?”” ”

“Chen Mo actually didn’t know many of the players here. After all, there were so many people in the experience store, it was impossible for Chen Mo to remember every single one of them. ”

“But it didn’t matter. Even if Chen Mo tried to remember it, he might not be able to remember it, so he was relieved. He could chat with anyone anyway. ”

“””Hey,”” Chen Zhao looked at the guy who asked,””you’re not playing if it’s not a soul-type battle?”” ”

“””Of course not, I’ll definitely play any type of game!”” The man who asked the question quickly waved his hand. I’m just saying that if this game is a soul-type battle, I’ll come back to play in a month, at least until the strategy is out …”” ”

“””Young man,”” Chen Zhao said earnestly.””You have to have a challenging spirit!”” ”

“The man shook his head like a rattle.””No, no, no, I’m just a salted fish. I just want to wait for the guide to come out before I try it out …”” ”

“””Don’t worry, this game doesn’t need a strategy,””Chen Mo laughed. ”

“””Really? Then I’ll go and try!”” This guy went up to the third floor in joy. ”

“The players in the experience store had been lab rats for a long time, so they weren’t as impulsive as before when they heard about the new game. They were all more cautious. ”

“After experiencing the double blow of Dark Souls and its prequel, these players knew that trying out Chen Mo’s new game had its risks, and it was better to wait and see … ”
