Almighty Video Game Designer

A month after World of elves was released, some MR games that were similar to this game were also released.

However, these games didn't shake the status of world of elves at all. They didn't even set off too much of a wave.

The reason was simple. They could copy the way world of elves was played, but it was difficult to copy the ip, let alone find any way to offset the first-mover advantage of world of elves.

The premise for a counterfeit to be on par with the original was that it had to at least surpass the original in certain aspects, such as playstyle, graphics, ip, number of players, and so on.

On the other hand, world of elves's playstyle and picture quality had temporarily reached the top of this genre, and there was not much room for improvement.

In terms of ip, not to mention Thunderbolt Entertainment's other big IPS, just the elven images in Pokemon go were classic images that had been tested by players 'taste and time. In terms of style design, they were far superior. It was basically impossible for other game developers to beat world of elves with a fake image that they had rushed out in more than a month.

Moreover, through the world boss event, world of elves had already set off a craze around the world, and this event happened to be irreplicable.

Other game companies also wanted to do a world boss event, but how? They had fought a boss, but there were only a few dozen people there? The dozens of people looked at each other. Didn't they feel embarrassed?

Seeing that there were only a few people playing the game, it would instead have the effect of dissuading them.

This kind of game had a strong social attribute. The more players there were, the larger the scale effect. As for other game companies, how could they promote their own games that resembled world of elves when world of elves had become popular all over the world? This was a difficult problem that could not be solved.

What's more, the world of elves had penetrated into all aspects of the players 'lives. Many friends would even discuss the pets they had just caught and fight with them when they met. Usually, the players were used to letting their pets follow them around. When they were bored, they would feel very comfortable watching the little elves they had caught stretch and pose.

At this time, if a player played other games similar to world of elves, would he have the nerve to join the conversation of his friends?

Moreover, even if he wanted to show off, other people wouldn't be able to see his pet at all. Even if they did, they wouldn't think that this thing was very precious.

If one couldn't enjoy the social help that the game brought, it would be a huge loss in terms of gaming experience.

Only when the number of players reached a certain number and the players truly recognized the value of the elves in the game could the game developers establish a stable and valuable price system, and form a huge and stable game community.

At this point, all the players of world of elves were firmly in the hands of Thunderbolt entertainment, and other similar games couldn't poach them even if they wanted to.

……

In the experience store, Chen Mo had just finished his call with Zhou Jiangping.

Zhou Jiangping excitedly talked about the historical breakthrough that the matrix glasses had made in the overseas market. Its market share had increased by another 3% compared to last week.

Chen Mo was quite calm about this, and he only briefly explained to Zhou Jiangping about the promotion plan for the future.

At the same time, as a brand new smart device, the matrix glasses would also develop more practical functions to further facilitate all aspects of people's lives.

For example, the glasses could be bound to the phone, and he could use his consciousness to control Jarvis to handle the matters on the phone, such as replying to messages, answering calls, and so on. In other words, he could control the phone with his consciousness.

He could also consider working with the police. After verifying the user's identity, he could turn on the camera function to record the crime scene when he called the police for evidence collection, thus reducing the crime rate.

Of course, these functions needed to be continuously developed and perfected. They needed to work closely with various organizations, and everyone's ideas and consciousness needed to gradually change.

But no matter what, technology was changing everyone's lives. Sooner or later, the smart glasses would penetrate deeper into the real world. They might even become like smartphones, and everyone would have one.

In terms of gaming:

After that, the world of elves would still have a world boss capture event every once in a while. At the same time, it would slowly update the elf guide and add new playing methods to maintain the enthusiasm of the players for the game.

However, Chen Mo knew that once the game became popular around the world, it would enter a period of stability.

The reason was simple.

On one hand, there was still a bottleneck in MR technology. At present, the graphics that could be shown in world of elves were already of the highest level. If he wanted to make a more complicated game with more rich gameplay, he would have to wait for the hardware to be further improved.

On the other hand, it was impossible for the players 'enthusiasm for the world of elves to increase limitlessly. World of elves was at its most popular stage, and many players even spent more than 20 hours a week in the wild to catch little elves. This time was obviously a serious overestimation, and it occupied the time they had after work to rest and play other games.

At the beginning, the players were very fresh about the gameplay of world of elves, but this popularity would gradually drop. Perhaps after two or three months, many players 'attitude towards this game would change from "actively going to the wild to catch little elves without sleep and rest" to "catching little elves on the way", and the game time per week would drop to less than ten hours or even shorter.

After all, most players had their own work and life, as well as all kinds of entertainment activities. World of elves was like other games, and they would get tired of it eventually.

However, to Chen Mo, the fact that world of elves had become so popular in such a short period of time had already fulfilled its mission perfectly. On one hand, it had become the most popular MR game at the moment. On the other hand, it had promoted the matrix glasses to the whole world and seized a large market share, which was equivalent to laying a solid foundation for the future MR games.

If at some point in the future, MR gaming welcomed a new technological revolution or a new trend, Chen Mo would be able to establish a first-mover advantage in MR gaming with the market share that the glasses had gained.

What's more, just because world of elves had entered a stable period, it didn't mean that it would be cold. Old players would still gradually accumulate experience. For a long time in the future, world of elves would be the best MR game for players to play when they were out.

……

MR. Game was a small interlude, and Chen Mo had to think about his next development plan.

With the current level of technology, MR was a new trend, but VR games still dominated.

This year, Chen Mo was going to release even more games that could compete with game of the year, further increasing Thunderbolt Entertainment's dominance in the gaming industry.
