In this month, all the game medias and game designers were repeatedly shocked, most games' sales would increase in the first week of its release and it would then start to rapidly decline, but 《Plant vs Zombies》 didn't, even until the fourth week, its daily download was still stable at a very high standard!

500,000 sales in the first month! What is this concept? This means that Chen Mo can earn more than two million yuan from this game, and it is just a month!

As a newcomer, this number was so amazing that 《Plant vs Zombies》 has set off a craze throughout the gaming circle!

It was virally spread among game players, and its sales were getting higher and higher!

Many players spontaneously form a variety of game communities to study strategies for 《Plant vs Zombies》, especially the endless mode. The rankings on the list kept changing every day.

The game medias published news release every day, and various industry insiders had a.n.a.lyzed the success of 《Plant vs Zombies》.

In the major question and answer communities, and even the official forum of Fantasy Editor, numerous game designers were also talking about it.

What makes 《Plant vs Zombies》a huge success?

Can its success be replicated? Can we learn from it?

《Plant vs Zombies》 was repeatedly studied in terms of level design, combat system, numerical value, tutorial, graphics, music, and even some details. It have become the product benchmark for puzzle games!

He wrote in his weibo, "To be honest, I admire Chen Mo, the game designer of 《Plant vs Zombies》, he as a new game designer had taught us game designers, who had always looked down on casual games, a lesson."

"We have always felt that casual games are a niche and that only C-cla.s.s and D-cla.s.s game designers would try casual games for practice. Because this kind of casual games often can not guarantee the game's duration and can't make players captivated, the players tend to be easily tired of them, resulting in a large number of losses."

"And a lot of so-called puzzle games are actually doesn't have so many puzzle elements at all, they are just like Children's Play House Game, as to strategy, they are far worse than some big strategy games.” 

"But,《Plant vs Zombies》has overturned this traditional view. Who said puzzle games can't be complicated? Who said puzzle games can't last long? This two major difficulties that have plagued puzzle games for a long time, have been solved by《Plant vs Zombies》."

"This showed that it is not a problem with this type of games, but our thinking is too limited!"

"Not only that,《Plant vs Zombies》also showed us the huge market of casual puzzle games. This kind of game is not just a niche games, but have a huge market!"

"Moreover, Chen Mo also pointed out a clear path for all C-cla.s.s and D-cla.s.s game designers. It doesn't matter if they have few resources and poor abilities, aren't they all boasting themselves for being creative? If you are really creative, then make a casual game like 《Plant vs Zombies》, which will make you a top game designer!"

"As for Chen Mo, I think he has shown his excellent talent in casual puzzle games, I am sure that as long as he can maintain this momentum and develop 2-3 puzzle games at the same level as 《Plant vs Zombies》, I am sure that he will become the best casual puzzle game designer in the country!"

Industry Experts, Game Media, Player Reviews… basically all gave positive comments, there was no such situation that happened like last time with 《Flappy Bird》, no game designer or commentator jumped out and accused 《Plant vs Zombies》 of being bad.

Several news releases that criticized it were also drowned in the scolding of players.

Chen Mo knew that this time he had chosen the right one. It can be said that he has both fame and fortune, with 《Plant vs Zombies》 at the top of the Casual and Puzzle Game Ranking, Chen Mo had suddenly become famous.

In this month, Chen Mo's Weibo fans are now 89,000, which showed the popularity of this game.

However, Chen Mo also knew that 《Plant vs Zombies》 still has potential.

His previous world's 《Plant vs Zombies》 was sold for nine days, and the sales reached 300,000 sets, breaking many records and it could be considered that it was truly "Popular all over the world".

Chen Mo has restored more than 90% of the previous world's 《Plant vs Zombies》, but the sales in the first month was only 500,000 sets. Obviously, there was still a big gap compared with the previous world.

Chen Mo himself a.n.a.lyzed the reasons.

The first reason is the issue of pre-publicity, Chen Mo basically did not do any publicity, and the post share of several game medias did cause some publicity, but unlike those publicity of big companies, 《Plant vs Zombies》 has received insufficient attention from the start.

The second reason is the market. 《Plant vs Zombies》 is currently only on the domestic market, if it can be launched on foreign markets, the sales should be higher.

However, Chen Mo was already satisfied, although 《Plant vs Zombies》 had the ability to enter the foreign market, but Chen Mo did not want to invest too much energy in this area for the time being.

At present, for Chen Mo, the foreign market is still a completely unfamiliar field. In the parallel world, does the tastes of users in foreign markets the same as that of his previous world? It takes a lot of energy and money to verify.

Chen Mo has not considered entering the foreign game market for the time being, so he does not want to invest too much energy at this stage.

Therefore, Chen Mo was basically satisfied with the success of 《Plant vs Zombies》. He did not expect this game to step into the sky in a single round.

If only according to the beginning, Chen Mo as a game designer has a perfect start, what will happen next will depend on how he goes next.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

At 10 a.m.

Chen Mo sat at the counter and yawned wildly.

Last night, he drank with Lin Mao and Zhao Zihao till 11 pm, and now his mind was still not fully awake.

After all, Lin Mao and his games were a great success, and they were sure to celebrate, so Chen Mo also gave up once and drunk some wine.

《Storm Knight Adventures》 got more than 70,000 downloads in the first month, which wasn't comparable to 《Plant vs Zombies》, but it was also one of the top three games on the new game list, which brought Lin Mao nearly 800,000 yuan income.

For Lin Mao, it is very satisfying, which was the result that most new game designers can't get.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Mao to not be envious of the achievements of 《Plant vs Zombies》, but he is sincerely happy for Chen Mo while being envious.

These days, Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng these people didn't come every day like they used to. After playing for a month, they were not as enthusiastic about 《Plant vs Zombies》 like back then.

There are more and more strategies that have been developed on the forum, and more ways of playing this game have been excavated, but the interest of people will eventually fade.

Wen Lingwei was urging Chen Mo to develop subsequent versions and even develop new games.

Chen Mo knows exactly how thing stand in his heart.《Plant vs Zombies》 is indeed a very long-term game, and some people can play it for a year or two, but for most people, playing for a month or two will make them bored.

Of course, as a stand-alone game, it doesn't matter whether you are tired or not. Anyway, the game was sold and the money was earned. Therefore, the development of the next game is just right.

Chen Mo is also preparing to s.h.i.+ft his focus to the next game, but before that, he will arrange a version update for 《Plant vs Zombies》.
