I can only do my best today
"Plants vs zombies" - a seemingly simple but actually very strategic game. Terrible zombies are about to invade your family. Your only defense is the plants you plant.
Arm your 49 kinds of plants, switch their different functions, such as cherry bomb or strong cannibal flower, and block the zombies on the invasion road more quickly and effectively. Different enemies and different playing methods constitute five different game modes. In addition, obstacles such as sunset, roof, thick fog and swimming pool make it more challenging. The fun of the game is endless.
The leisure game Lin Feng is going to launch is the desktop leisure tower defense game - "plants vs zombies", which will be popular all over the world in the future. This game, easy to operate, easy rhythm, is very suitable for after the "legend" PK war of intense stimulation, ease the nervous tension of the player''s brain.
In particular, this game draws lessons from some elements of strategy games - collecting resources and using resources to build other units. With 49 kinds of optional plants and 26 kinds of zombies, the game is more strategic and tactical than easy. When to develop "economy" and "forces", players must choose according to their own game strategy and actual situation.
Lin Feng was crazy about this game. In order to challenge the final "endless survival mode", he painstakingly studied it, but in the end, he could only pass 100 rounds. After that, the defense line painstakingly managed collapsed under the impact of the zombie army. Legend has it that a bull man persisted to 226 rounds. When the screenshot of the game came out, the bull man was worshipped by all the players.
Lin Feng talked about his plan and idea with Xishanju studio, which is developing swordsman online. Together with the members of the development team, it is expected that it will be available for public beta in two weeks at most. After all, this game is extremely simple, as long as the damage formula is calculated, plus pure cartoon modeling, 2D screen, it won''t take them long at all. What''s more, the development of swordsman online has also entered a bottleneck. It''s time for them to develop a small game and change their thinking.
Lin Feng naturally will not just copy the original flavor of "Plants vs. Zombies". After all, it is a stand-alone game. Lin Feng wants to develop it into an online game. Stand alone game in some of the redundant levels and scenes, Lin Feng ready to give up.
In the case of the same game mode, Lin Feng eliminated the five redundant hurdles and only retained the "play games", "decryption mode" and the most important "survival mode" inside. At the same time, he also retained the "Zen Garden" inside.
In the survival mode, Lin Feng combines all the extra levels into the last level, which is also the most important level for players to fight day and night - "endless survival". It contains day, night, fog and swimming pool scenes. According to the game process, the game will switch between day and night, and fog will appear with the weather, which improves the randomness of the game.
In the "play games" and "decryption mode", the money obtained from the clearance will be converted into the "sunshine" at the initial stage of the "endless survival" level, so that players can have a certain amount of "sunshine" at the initial stage, which can be used to plant plants, resist zombie attacks, and reduce the difficulty of the initial stage of the game.
As for "Zen Garden", it is actually a simplified version of "QQ farm". Lin Feng has also improved it to become the same as "QQ farm", which is also used to attract people.
In order to cooperate with the game promotion, Lin Feng also launched a reward system. Players who persist to the 100th round will open a new level, and players will enter the next level next week for a new experience. Each week, the top 100 players will be rewarded according to the longest round.
The first player will be awarded a 120 hour point card for legend, the top 20 will be awarded a 90 hour point card, the top 50 will be awarded a 60 hour point card, and the top 100 will be awarded a 30 hour point card.
The development progress of Plants vs. Zombies has greatly exceeded Lin Feng''s expectation. It took only 10 days for Xishanju studio to develop it day and night.
Of course, the biggest credit comes from Lin Feng. Lin Feng not only told the public the detailed properties and abilities of all 49 plants, but also described the abilities and shapes of 26 zombies in detail. In addition, the level map was also drawn by Lin Feng himself, which greatly reduced the difficulty of their development and saved a lot of time. In this regard, people can only sigh that the boss does not know how to think, how can there be so many fantastic ideas.
In the process of development, the company''s internal staff are also attracted by the game''s interest and strategy. Even many senior managers of the company voluntarily act as game testers. And the first person who passed 100 rounds in the internal test was Xiao Fang, which made everyone even more surprised.
However, looking at the two obvious dark circles on her face, we can see that she fought day and night, and only after repeated defeats could she be the first to pass the hundred round pass. But even Xiao Fang is so addicted, once listed, its prospects can be imagined.
When the game came into the market on May 20, it really caused a sensation. Before that, Lin Feng repeatedly publicized it on the official website, which made the players full of curiosity. Just a public beta, many players can''t wait to download the client, connect to login.
At first, everyone came for Lin Feng''s top 100 card rewards, but after entering, they were deeply attracted by the game.
Facts have also proved that the second online game launched by "second world" - "Plants vs. Zombies" did not disappoint people. Simple operation, relaxed rhythm, lovely plant and zombie modeling, plus extremely challenging levels, as well as the strategy of real-time strategy, so that many players will indulge in them once they start.
In addition, Lin Feng''s guarantee that the game will adopt a low-cost 10 yuan monthly fee system, and stick to the new level after a hundred rounds, as well as the weekly top 100 reward system, all make people want to give up.
No one can imagine that such a simple game will be crazily popular with players. In just one week, the number of online users has repeatedly been updated. On the seventh day, after a week of official public test, the number of online users has exceeded one million, breaking the previous record of legend.
Because Lin Feng adopted the "second world" registered account to share all his game accounts, the launch of "Plants vs. Zombies" has once again stimulated the number of "second world" registered members. With the participation of a large number of white-collar workers and female players, the number of "second world" registered members easily exceeded 100 million.
This data makes all online game companies gape. They are looking at the online game that they have been searching for and spending a lot of money on agents, but it is not as good as a small game developed and launched by "second world" in two weeks, which makes the CEOs of many online game companies look blue and blue.
Under the jealousy of many online game company managers, almost dozens of tower defense games of the same type are being developed at the same time. Since they can''t be the first crabs eater, it''s better to follow suit. In a word, we can''t let the "second world" enjoy its own success. Everyone should have a share in this leisure online game market.
Lin Feng doesn''t have any opinions about the crazy following behavior of many online game companies. This game is simple, want to copy is very simple. It''s not surprising that they are so popular and imitated. As for whether a large number of Similar Games will squeeze the market share of the "second world", the impact is certain, but not too big. As the first crab eater, Lin Feng has successfully enclosed the land. Players are actually very loyal, once you identify the game and brand, easily will not change the game. Maybe I''ll try it once in a while, but in the end, I''ll go back to my roots.
After a week of hard work, more than 2000 players have reached the 100th round and opened the second level. And the highest record of the player ranking first is to hold on to the 170th round, which is not far away from the 226th round in the legend. With tens of millions of people all over the country, Lin Feng believes that the 226 round record of niuren must not be far away.
As for those who have broken through the hundred round pass, Lin Feng''s second pass is quite different from the first. In the first level, zombies would clear all obstacles on the attack route, but not in the second level. Zombies would only rush forward and not attack plants. If you encounter obstacles, zombies will choose the path with the least damage.
Zombie action thinking changes, but also changes the scene.
Lin Feng expanded his map by 10 times, and cancelled the plants collecting resources. The "economy" gained by players in the game comes from the elimination of zombies. The more zombies you kill, the more "economy" you get, and the more plants you can build to stop zombies. Of course, Lin Feng also increased the speed of zombies to a certain extent.
How to reasonably place plants in the garden 10 times larger than the original, delay the pace of zombie attack, and finally eliminate the zombies when they enter the house, has become the new focus of players'' thinking( Note: when placing plants, players must set aside an exit for zombies to lead to the house, which can''t be blocked.)
Similarly, the second level is the same as the first level. After 100 rounds, the third level will be opened. And the reward system is the same as the first level, but Lin Feng slightly increased the reward intensity. The first prize was increased from 120 hours to 150 hours, and so on, all the prizes were increased by 30 hours compared with the first level.
This alternative upgrade system also stimulates the enthusiasm of players. Walking into the Internet bar, looking around, the vast majority of people are playing "Plants vs. Zombies". At the same time, they also point out each other and exchange customs clearance experience with each other, which is a prosperous scene.
