Chapter 823 Aftermath

One month after "Elf World" was launched, some similar MR games that imitated this game were also launched.

However, these games did not shake the status of "Elf World" at all, and did not even cause much trouble.

The reason is very simple. They can copy the gameplay of "Elf World", but it is difficult to copy the IP, and there is no way to offset the first-mover advantage of "Elf World".

The premise of comparing copycats to the original is that they must at least surpass the quality of the original in one aspect, such as gameplay, picture quality, IP, number of players, etc.

However, in contrast, "Elf World" has temporarily reached the top of this type of gameplay and picture quality, and there is not much room for improvement.

In terms of IP, not to mention the other big IPs mastered by Thunder Interactive Entertainment, the elves in "Pokemongo" are all classic images that have been tested by both player taste and time, and are far ahead in styling and design. Other game dealers want to defeat "Elf World" through imitation images made in more than a month, which can basically be said to be a fantasy.

Moreover, "Elf World" has set off a global craze through the world boss event, and this event is precisely unreplicable.

Other game dealers also want to do world boss activities, but how to do it? They opened a boss, but only dozens of people were present? These dozens of people looked at each other, wouldn’t they feel particularly embarrassed...

Once you see that there are only a few people playing this game, it will have a dissuasion effect.

This kind of game has extremely strong social attributes. The more people you play, the more scale effect it will have. For other game providers, how can they promote their own "Elf World"-like game under the premise that "Elf World" has become popular all over the world? This is an almost unsolvable problem.

What's more, "Elf World" has penetrated into all aspects of players' lives. Many friends even discuss the pets they just caught and engage in pet battles when they meet. In normal times, players are used to letting their pets follow them. When they are bored, they will feel very comfortable watching the elves they have worked hard to stretch and pose.

At this time, if a player plays other "Elf World" games, would he be embarrassed to join the topic of his friends?

Moreover, even if he wanted to show off, others would not see his pet at all. Even if he saw it, he would not think that this thing was very precious.

If you can't enjoy the social help brought by this game at all, it can be said to be a loss from the perspective of game experience.

Only when the number of players reaches a certain level and only after the players truly agree with the value of the elves in the game can the game dealer establish a stable, valuable and clear price system and form a huge and stable game community.

At this point, all the players of "Elf World" were firmly held by Thunder Interactive Entertainment. Even if they wanted to dig out other similar games, they could not dig out.

...

...

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

Zhou Jiangping was very excited to talk about the historic breakthroughs made by Matrix Glasses in the overseas market, and its market share increased by 3 percentage points compared with last week, etc.

Chen Mo seemed quite calm about this, but he briefed Zhou Jiangping about his promotion plan for the next period of time.

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

For example, glasses are bound to the mobile phone, and Jarvis uses consciousness to manipulate matters on the mobile phone, such as replying to messages, answering calls, etc., to achieve the effect of consciousness controlling the mobile phone in disguise.

You can also consider cooperating with the police. After real-name authentication and verification of the user's identity, you can temporarily turn on the camera function when calling the alarm to record the crime scene for evidence collection, thereby reducing the crime rate.

Of course, these functions need to be continuously developed and improved, closely cooperated with various institutions, and gradual changes in everyone's concepts and consciousness.

But no matter what, technology is changing everyone's lives. Sooner or later, smart glasses will penetrate into the realm more deeply, and one will even become like a smartphone, with one piece of it.

And in terms of the game:

After that, "Elf World" will still conduct a world boss capture activity every once in a while, and will slowly update the elf picture book and add new gameplay to maintain players' enthusiasm for this game.

However, Chen Mo also knew very well that after this game became popular all over the world, it would inevitably gradually enter a period of slowness and stableness.

The reason is also very simple.

On the one hand, there is still a bottleneck in MR technology. At present, the pictures that can be displayed in "Elf World" are already the highest-level pictures. If you want to create more complex and richer gameplay, you need to wait for the hardware level to be further improved.

On the other hand, players' enthusiasm for "Elf World" cannot rise without limit. Now is the stage of "Elf World" being popular. Many players even spend more than 20 hours a week to catch elves in the wild. This time is obviously seriously inflated, and it takes up time for them to rest after get off work and play other games.

At the beginning, players were very new to the gameplay of "Elf World", but this popularity will gradually decline. Perhaps in two or three months, many players' attitude towards this game will change from "taking the initiative to catch elves in the wild without sleep" to "catch elves when going out", and the game time per week will drop to less than ten hours or even shorter.

After all, most players have their own work and life, and there are various other entertainment activities. Like other games, "Elf World" will eventually get bored.

However, for Chen Mo, "Elf World" has achieved this popularity in a short period of time and has perfectly completed its mission. On the one hand, it has become the most popular MR game nowadays, and on the other hand, it has promoted matrix glasses to the whole world, seizing a large amount of market share, which is equivalent to laying a solid foundation for the future MR game competition.

If at some time in the future, the MR game field ushers in new technological changes or has a new gaming trend, then with the market share occupied by matrix glasses, Chen Mo will also establish a first-mover advantage in the MR game field.

What's more, "Elf World" entering the stable period does not mean that it will be cold. Old players will gradually accumulate. For a long time in the future, "Elf World" will be the best MR game for players to go out, no doubt about it.

...

MR game is a small episode, and Chen Mo also needs to consider the next R&D plan.

With the current technological level, MR is a new trend, but the dominant VR game is still the one that occupies a dominant position.

This year, Chen Mo will continue to launch more high-quality games that can compete for the annual games, further enhancing the dominance of Thunder Interactive Entertainment in the global game industry.
