God-level game designer starts with scared crying anchor

Chapter 87 This Is Too Uncasual

March NO.17, Thursday.

The Game Design Grand Prix ended successfully, and "Plants vs Zombies" successfully reached the No.

No one was surprised by this result. Some people even said during this period that the advantage of "Plants vs. Zombies" is so great that it is better to end the game as soon as possible and start another game.

But the rules are the rules, and there is no way to compete for No.1, so everyone can still compete for the top ten!
On the day of the end of the competition, the homepage recommendation of Misty Asgard had a picture of "Plants vs. Zombies" and a link to buy it.

But the feeling that this reward gives everyone is dispensable.

Because with the current popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies", having homepage recommendations is just icing on the cake, and it doesn't play a decisive role as before.

At the same time, games following the trend of "Plants vs. Zombies" have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

In the studio, Ding Fanxin couldn't help but patted the table and said: "It's another follow-up game! These game companies are so thick-skinned! Can't you make a casual puzzle game yourself?"

"The gameplay hasn't changed, but I just changed the painting style a little bit, who are I fooling?" Mo Danqing also said with a look of disgust.

"I really don't feel worthy for Brother Xun. After finally making such a good game, I will be disgusted by these people in less than two months." Chen Xueshu was also aggrieved.

"Brother Xun, let's sue them! Send them a lawyer's letter!" Lu Qiule's tone was also full of displeasure.

"That's right, we can't let them go." Lin Qingyao agreed.

"I wish them blue screens in the middle of their work! They haven't saved yet!" Nie Xiaodie also clenched her fists tightly.

The friends were passionate, but Xun Ze was very relaxed. He had expected this situation, so he didn't panic at all.

Anyway, "Plants vs. Zombies" won No.1, which helped him increase a large number of fans, laid a certain foundation for the sales of "Survival", and has completed its glorious mission.

As for other peers, they can follow suit as they like!
The gameplay is not protected, as long as the other party has no face, just copy their code and art resources, Xun Ze doesn't want to pay attention to these people at all.

Isn't it good to spend the time and energy saved on "immersiveness"?
However, after seeing so many follow-up games popping up that he couldn't count them with two hands, Xun Ze decided to give himself a day off to play the games of his peers.

While understanding the game design concepts of peers, it also allows the brain to relax a little.

"Okay! Don't get excited, everyone, we just do our job well. As for these follow-up games, let them go! Anyway, no matter how noisy they are, they can't shake the status of "Plants vs. Zombies." Xun Ze said with a smile .

"Having said that, I'm still a little angry." Mo Danqing said.

"It's not worth getting angry about these games. Seeing that you are a little emotional today, I'll give you half a day off! It's okay to stay in the studio, or to accompany the other half."

"Brother Xun, we are still single." Ding Fanxin and Chen Xueshu said almost in unison.

Xun Ze glanced at them, and thought to himself, "Isn't it normal for you two straight dudes to be single?"

The four girls also echoed and said: "Brother Xun, we are also single! Really! We don't even have anyone to pursue."

"Okay. I see. Then arrange the rest of the time yourself!" Xun Ze smiled and waved his hands, not knowing what the four girls were nervous about.

Back in his office, Xun Ze sat on the boss chair in the most comfortable position, and then began to try out the follow-up games of his peers one by one.

He first bought a game that cost only eight yuan, but after only playing the first level, Xun Ze closed the game and chose to refund.

The gameplay of this game is completely copied from "Plants vs. Zombies", not to mention innovative, there is not even a little change. The only difference is the setting.

The setting of the game is that all kinds of animals are going to the warehouse to steal food, and all kinds of food fight back against these animals in order to protect themselves.

The gameplay is exactly the same, the painting style is very similar, and there is impetuousness and perfunctory in wanting to make quick money everywhere.

Xun Ze also glanced at the comment section of the game. The players were full of curses, and the score was only two points.

After trying two more games at similar prices, Xun Ze chose Guanyou to get a refund for both of them, because they were similar in nature.

If you think that you can attract players by copying the gameplay and using a low price, you are really stupid.

The popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies" has not passed, and it is still hanging on the homepage of Misty Asgard, but you, as a follow-up game, don't even have any characteristics of your own, so you want players to pay for it?I want to fart!

Xun Ze completely lost confidence in the low-cost and small workshops' follow-up game, and he went directly to the "high price zone".

Then he saw the follow-up game of Canopy Game Company - "Battle of Human Migration".

The setting of the game is that the earth's resources are exhausted, and human beings go to other planets to settle, but they are attacked by monsters on the planet.

All the player has to do is to build a defense line to resist the attacks of waves of monsters.

These monsters combine the characteristics of insects and arthropods, and they look very hideous.

"Battle of Human Migration" adopts a bird's-eye view, and there are a total of eight lines that players need to defend.

The placed "plants" have also become turrets full of technology.

Due to the different perspectives and the completely irrelevant painting style, it is difficult for players to think of "Plants vs. Zombies" when playing "Human Migration War".

This kind of following the trend makes Xun Ze feel that it is not bad, at least it has its own distinctive characteristics.

However, after playing the novice level and continuing to advance the game, Xun Ze discovered the shortcomings of the game.

"Plants vs. Zombies" is to resist the attack of zombies by matching and using different characteristics of plants after unlocking plants.

In "Battle of Human Migration", the turret can be upgraded. As for the upgrade method, after clearing a checkpoint, the material called "Technology Magic Stone" is obtained.

The number of technological magic stones dropped by each level ranges from five to ten.

The higher the level of the turret, the more tech magic stones it needs.

The designer of the game seems to let players explore various genres of customs clearance by upgrading different turrets.

But the problem is that the numerical value of this game is not perfect enough.

This leads to the fact that players need to upgrade most of the main battle turrets to a high level, or even a full level, when playing the following levels, so that it is possible to block the swarming powerful monsters.

If the player wants to get through the difficulty, he must go back to the previous level and get enough magic stones.

Although this can increase the player's game time, it is a bit too much.

"Plants vs. Zombies" is that as long as the player's strategy is correct, even if he is unlucky, he can beat it.

"Battle of Human Migration" is just the opposite. If the player is not brave, even if the strategy is correct, it will not be able to stop the monster's attack.

Maybe some players will like this game, but I believe that the vast majority of players will not choose to live.

For them, this is not too casual, it is even more tiring than going to work.

Withdrawing from "Battle of Human Migration", Xun Ze did not choose to refund this time. Regardless of the liver, all aspects of this game are still good.

Immediately afterwards, Xun Ze turned his attention to the Emperor Penguin game.
