Chapter 610 Plants Vs. Zombies Completed
After finalizing the development of video format conversion software and multi-format compatible playback software with Lianxiang Group, Zhang Yang became more relaxed again.
But good news always comes quickly. No, just after the National Day, Li Junsheng came to report the good news.
"You mean that the research and development of Plants vs. Zombies has been successful?" Zhang Yang looked surprised. This was a popular game in his previous life. It was sold very well abroad, and many people played it in China, but most of them were pirated.
"The research and development has been successful, and the preliminary test has passed. Please ask the president to check it." Li Junsheng held a CD and placed it in front of Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang inserted the CD into the computer's CD drive, quickly finished the installation, and clicked on the icon of a sunflower.
After reading the background introduction first, Zhang Yang began to frown. Li Junsheng was a little nervous. Could there be a problem with the background introduction?
"The background introduction is good, simple and easy to understand, but why is there no background music? Just let the players watch it so dryly? The font is too small, it's okay in front of the computer, can this be played with a gamepad? What if it's too far away? manage?"
It took Zhang Yang ten minutes to start the game guide, which made him dissatisfied again.
"Does it take so long to guide a game? Cut it in half, five minutes is enough."
"President, but for five minutes, many people don't know the functions of various plants at all."
"Can't you make a function introduction? Or add a manual in the game CD to introduce the functions of some plants, and you can also introduce those zombies."
After experiencing it, Zhang Yang pointed to the grass on the screen: "We need to use different colors here, just like the turf of a football field, so that people can clearly feel the sense of distance."
"After the sunflower is planted, it just stays motionless. Don't you think it's too rigid? Change it to shaking its head, just like those kindergarten children dancing, one left and one right, doesn't it look much cuter?"
"Also, pay attention to the details. Pea shooters should have a calm expression in normal times, and even a smile. But when shooting peas, it should give people a feeling of force. You can experience it for yourself. When you are trying to spit out an apricot core far away, what is your expression and movement like?"
"Here, at the last place near the house, players can buy a device to clean up the entire line of zombies. This increases the protection of the house and can also deal with some difficult levels."
"Just get the lawnmower,
More in line with the background, remember to do the corresponding sound effects. Pond mode, also get one, it can be called a pond dredging vehicle. "
"In the night mode, especially in thunderstorm weather, you can use a lamp to disperse the dense fog. You can also use a prop to disperse the dense fog. Let's make it a clover, which looks like the blades of an electric fan."
"The wind can also blow away the balloon zombies. The balloon zombies will fly over and directly attack the plants in the last row, then enter the house and attack the protagonist."
"But you can't just blow away balloon zombies with clover. You can also design a plant that can grow taller. Let's make cactus. Aren't many cactus in the desert are two or three meters high."
"Every time you pass a level in the game, you can get some gold coins as rewards. You can use gold coins to unlock new plants, but this is too slow."
"Zombies who die in the game also have a certain probability of dropping gold coins. You can also design higher-level coins, such as diamonds. You can also design lower-level coins, such as silver coins."
"And every time you pass some levels, you will be given some trophies, so that players have the pleasure of upgrading."
"After all the levels have been cleared, what should the player do if there is no novelty? Make an endless mode, let the zombies keep appearing, and make more permutations and combinations. In theory, you can make thousands of kinds, right? Most people can't insist on it. to that long."
"Of course, you can quit at any time, save the record, continue playing next time, or start over."
"We can also design some small games, such as adding our Bejeweled Maze into it, and replacing gems with different plants, which can also be reduced to get gold coins."
"We can also launch some mission modes, allowing players to do some missions and get rewards. Some missions should be particularly difficult, so that players can feel a sense of accomplishment after passing the level. But it can't be too difficult, so that people feel that they can't pass the level no matter how they play. No one wants to play anymore."
"Have you ever played military chess? One mode is buckled, and you need to turn it over to compare the size, which gives people a sense of luck. You can get some jars, and the player controls to knock the jars open."
"There can be plants or zombies in the jar. Kill all the zombies, or the zombies can kill all the plants and it's over."
"In any case, make more ways to play, so that players can play for more time. Also, make a world tree, let people water it and grow, and the fruits it bears are some strategies."
Li Junsheng was a little disappointed. The game he worked so hard to make still had so many shortcomings. Obviously, their testers thought it was good.
"President, I will take people back to modify it, and strive to catch up with the launch at next year's E3 game show."
Zhang Yang waved his hand: "It's not necessary, just a little modification. Some new modes, zombies, and levels can be released in the next version. I think this is good now, and try to push it to the market early next year."
"President, it's too late to promote like that. Or should I discuss it with Mr. Duan and Mr. Sun now and start promoting it?"
"Yes, I agree to promote it now. Let all players know, and let those game companies know that we have made a zombie game ourselves."
If you want to buy it before, but other companies don’t sell it, let them know that it’s not like we can’t make fun zombie games. Although this zombie game may not be the same as everyone thinks.
Of course, there are many such games in previous lives, and mobile games are also very developed, such as tower defense, survival, construction, etc. All of these can be combined to launch a zombie game.
Zhang Yang intends to think about it carefully, and talk to Li Junsheng about the general idea later, and let the game planners complete the rest.
He only remembered the general impression of many games in his previous life, because he didn't play many of them. But he doesn't need to know all the details, and the company's planners are also professional.
"By the way, how is the optimization of G2MINI going? Have you started testing?"
"The system is fine, and the hardware performance is still being tested. This is something that Mr. Sun personally took charge of. It is expected to be launched on the market early next year!"
