Rebirth of the Evil Life

(There are only three updates today, try your best!)

"Plants vs. Zombies" - a small game that looks simple but is actually very strategic. Scary zombies are about to invade your home, and your only defense is the plants you grow.

Arm your 49 kinds of plants and switch their different functions, such as cherry bombs or powerful piranhas, to block zombies from invading more quickly and effectively. Different enemies and different ways of playing constitute five different game modes, and obstacles such as sunsets, roofs, dense fog, and swimming pools increase the challenge, and the unique fun of the game is endless.

The casual game that Lin Feng is going to launch is the desktop casual tower defense game that will become popular in the world in the future - "Plants vs. Zombies". This game is easy to operate and has a relaxed rhythm. It is very suitable for relieving the tense nerves of the player's brain after the intense and exciting PK battle of "Legend".

In particular, the game borrows elements from some strategy games—gathering resources and using them to build other units. Adding 49 optional plants and 26 different types of zombies, it also makes this game more strategic and tactical than relaxing. When to develop "economy" and when to develop "military power", players must make a choice according to their own game strategy and actual situation during the game.

Lin Feng was also crazy about this game. In order to challenge the final "Endless Survival Mode", he studied painstakingly, but in the end he could only pass 100 rounds. After that, the defense line he worked so hard on collapsed under the impact of the zombie army. . It is said that there is a talented person who persisted until round 226. When the screenshot of this game came out, this talented person was worshiped by all the players.

Lin Feng shared his plans and ideas with Xishanju Studio, which is developing "Swordsman Love Online", together with the members of the development team, it is estimated that it will be released for public testing in at most 2 weeks. After all, this game is extremely simple, as long as the damage formula is calculated, plus the pure cartoon shape and 2D graphics, it won't delay them for long at all. What's more, their development of "Swordsman Love Online" has also entered a bottleneck, and it is time to change the development of a small game and change their thinking.

Naturally, Lin Feng wouldn't just copy "Plants vs. Zombies" as it was a stand-alone game after all, and Lin Feng wanted to develop it into an online game. Lin Feng was going to discard all the redundant levels and scenes in the stand-alone game.

Under the condition that his game mode remains unchanged, Lin Feng eliminated the five superfluous clearance levels, and only kept the "playing mini games", "decryption mode", and the most important "survival mode". The "Zen Garden" remains.

In the survival mode, Lin Feng combined all the extra levels into the last level and the level that makes players fight day and night the most - "Endless Survival", which includes day, night, thick fog and swimming pool scenes. According to the progress of the game, the game will Switch between day and night, and thick fog will appear along with the weather, increasing the randomness of the game.

In the "playing mini games" and "decryption mode", the money obtained by passing the level can be exchanged for the "sunshine" at the beginning of the "endless survival" level, allowing players to have a certain amount of "sunshine" at the beginning , used to plant plants, resist zombie attacks, and reduce the difficulty of the early 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", and it is also used to attract popularity.

In order to cooperate with the promotion of the game, Lin Feng launched a reward system at the same time. All players who persist until the 100th round will open a new level, and players will enter the next level in the next week for a new experience. And every week, the top 100 players will be rewarded according to the longest number of rounds.

The first player will be rewarded with a 120-hour game point card of "Legend", the top 20 will be rewarded with a 90-hour point card, the top 50 will be rewarded with a 60-hour game point card, and the top 100 players will be rewarded with a 30-hour game point card.

The development progress of "Plants vs. Zombies" has greatly exceeded Lin Feng's expectations. It only took 10 days, and it was released under the round-the-clock research and development of Xishanju Studio.

Of course, the biggest credit for this came from Lin Feng. Lin Feng not only told everyone the detailed attributes and abilities of all 49 kinds of plants, but also described the abilities and shapes of 26 kinds of zombies in detail. In addition, Lin Feng drew the level map himself, which greatly reduced the difficulty of their development. Saved a lot of time. In this regard, everyone can only lament that the boss does not know what is going on in his head, how can he have so many wonderful ideas.

During the development, the company's internal personnel were also attracted by the fun and strategic nature of the game, and even many senior executives of the company volunteered to act as game testers. The first person to pass the hundred rounds of the internal test was actually Xiao Fang, which surprised everyone even more.

However, looking at the two obvious dark circles on her face, it can be seen that she has been fighting day and night, and she is the first to pass the hundred rounds after repeated defeats. But even Xiao Fang is so obsessed, once listed, its prospects can be imagined.

When the game was launched on May 20, it really caused a sensation. Previously, Lin Feng had repeatedly promoted it on the official website, making players full of curiosity. As soon as the public beta was launched, many players couldn't wait to download the client and log in online.

At first everyone came here for the top 100 point card rewards made by Lin Feng, 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 everyone. Simple operation, relaxed rhythm, cute plant and zombie shapes, plus extremely challenging levels, as well as real-time strategy tactics, make many players addicted to it once they get started.

In addition, Lin Feng promised that this game will adopt a low monthly fee system of 10 yuan, and new levels will be launched after a hundred rounds, and the reward system for the top 100 players every week, which makes people want to stop.

No one could have imagined that such a simple game would be wildly popular among players. In just one week of listing, the highest number of online users was repeatedly refreshed. On the seventh day, one week after the official public beta, the highest number of online users exceeded one million, breaking the previous record held by "Legend".

Since Lin Feng adopted the "Second World" registered account to share all its game accounts, the launch of "Plants vs. Zombies" has once again stimulated the number of "Second World" membership registrations. Next, the registered members of "Second World" easily broke through the 100 million mark.

This statistic made all the online game companies dumbfounded. Seeing that the online game I searched hard and spent a lot of money on agency was not as good as a small game developed and launched by "Second World" within two weeks, this made the faces of many online game company bosses turn green. A piece of purple.

Under the jealousy of many online game company bosses, almost dozens of tower defense games of the same type are being developed simultaneously. Since you can't be the first to eat crabs, you should follow suit. In short, the "Second World" cannot be allowed to enjoy its own success. Everyone wants to share in this casual online game market.

Lin Feng didn't have any opinion on the frantic follow-up actions of many online game companies. This game is already simple, and it couldn't be easier to imitate it. In addition to being so popular, it is not surprising that it is imitated. As for whether the launch of a large number of similar games will squeeze the market share of "Second World", there must be an impact, but it will not be too great. As the first person to eat crabs, Lin Feng has already succeeded in enclosing the land. Players are actually very loyal. Once you identify your game and brand, they will not change games easily. Maybe I will try new things occasionally, but in the end I will "return to the roots".

After a week of hard work, more than 2,000 players have made it to the 100th round, opening the second level. The highest record of the number one player lasted until the 170th round, not far from the legendary record of 226 rounds. With the hard work of tens of millions of people across the country, Lin Feng believed that this record of 226 rounds would not be far off.

As for those who broke through the hundred rounds barrier, the second level Lin Feng prepared for them was quite different from the first level. In the first level, the zombies will clear all obstacles on the attack route, but in the second level, the zombies will only rush forward and will not attack the plants. If an obstacle is encountered, the zombie will choose the path with the least damage.

While the thinking of zombie actions has changed, the scene has also changed.

Lin Feng enlarged his map by 10 times, and canceled the plants for collecting resources. The "economy" obtained by the player in the game comes from the eliminated zombies. The more zombies you eliminate, the more "economy" you get, and the more plants you can build to block zombies. Of course, Lin Feng also increased the speed of the zombies to a certain extent.

How to properly arrange plants in a garden that is 10 times larger than before, slow down the zombie attack, and finally eliminate the zombies when they enter the house has become a new focus of thinking for players. (Note: When placing plants, the player must leave an exit that can lead to the house for the zombies, and it cannot be blocked.)

Similarly, the second level is the same as the first level. After a hundred rounds, the third level will be opened. The reward system is also the same as the first level, but Lin Feng slightly increased the rewards. The reward for the first place has been increased from 120 hours to 150 hours, and so on. All rewards have been increased by 30 hours compared to the first level.

The launch of this alternative upgrade system has also stimulated players' enthusiasm even more. Walking into the Internet cafe, looking around, most people are playing "Plants vs. Zombies". While playing, they are also pointing out each other and exchanging customs clearance experience with each other. It is a prosperous scene.
