Experience the store.
Wen Lingwei and Chang Xiuya are playing against Jia Peng and another boy.
"Senior sister, help me make a nut wall here!" Chang Xiuya said.
"How many zombies have you saved? Come on, put it here with me, and steal Xiuya's corn cannon first." Jia Peng said to another boy.
Chang Xiuya panicked: "Hey, Jia Peng, you can't do this!"
Wen Lingwei was expressionless: "It's okay, I still have two corn cannons waiting."
Chang Xiuya screamed: "Ah!! Jia Peng, why don't you play your cards according to the routine! Didn't you mean to steal my corn cannon, why did you eat my sunflower!"
The experience store was extremely lively, and Wen Lingwei and others were playing the latest multiplayer battle mode, playing inextricably hard.
Su Jinyu is using developer tools to design new plants and zombies, of course, mainly in terms of appearance. Her hand-painting skills were much higher than Chen Mo's, and she had already drawn two or three new plants.
These three plants are full of Chinese style, namely wheat machine gun, sweet potato bomb and bamboo wall.
The community function in the game "Plants vs. Zombies" has also begun to gather more and more players.
It has been online for nearly two months. Plants vs. Zombies currently has more than 800,000 users, and more than half of the players are still active. These people have established thousands of large and small communities, and many real-life friends and classmates have joined. In the community, you can check other people's latest developments every day.
Some die-hard fans of "Plants vs Zombies" like developer tools very much, especially some players who are already interested in game design, are trying to make new mods.
At present, there are more than a dozen mods, but these mods basically simply change the value, such as infinite sunlight, faster fire rate of plants, etc. Although many people play it, they obviously cannot last long.
But Chen Mo is not worried. There are many mods, and there will naturally be excellent mods. Let the players filter them spontaneously.
As for the multiplayer game mode, it has indeed set off a wave of enthusiasm among the players. In the "Plants vs. Zombies" community, many players are posting posts to discuss the small routines of the battle mode. Ten consecutive victories, posting in the community to show off, aroused crowds of onlookers.
On various forums, players praised the update of "Plants vs. Zombies" mostly, and even sparked a wave of downloads again.
"Today I researched the developer tool, and I feel that this tool is too powerful. It can change everything. It's just for us to develop it ourselves! Wait for the big players to make a mod that can rival the original work!"
"At first, I thought I had already figured out this game, but now it seems that I am too young... If this game is constantly updated with mods, I can probably play it for a lifetime..."
"It can only be said that I kneel down to the designer. There is no one who can do this for a stand-alone casual game!"
"However, the opening of the developer tools means that everyone can study the data of "Plants vs. Zombies" at will. The designer is really courageous!"
"It's just that, unlike other companies, all the game data is hidden and encrypted in different ways, for fear of being stolen by others."
"Yes, because of the fact that the developer tools are open to the author, Lu has become a fan!"
Chen Mo looked at the players' comments and was basically relieved.
For him, it is enough for the new version to achieve this level. This version update has greatly extended the vitality of "Plants vs. Zombies". It is foreseeable that in the next few months, "Plants vs. Zombies" should be Continue to dominate the list of puzzle and casual games.
Suddenly, Su Jinyu panicked: "The store manager, it's bad!"
"Huh?" Chen Mo raised his head, "What's wrong?"
Su Jinyu came to Chen Mo with her mobile phone: "Look, this game... copy us!"
Chen Mo took the phone from Su Jinyu.
On the screen of the mobile phone is a certain game in the application market. From the game introduction screen, we can see that the gameplay of this game is very similar to "Plants vs. Zombies". There are five roads on the left and enemies on the right.
However, the art material of this game is completely different from that of "Plants vs. Zombies". The name of the game is "Battle of the Moon".
Although these high-tech weapons have no similarities with plants in appearance, they are inextricably linked with the various plants in "Plants vs. Zombies" in terms of specific functions.
For example, the pea shooter has been changed to a mechanism turret, the ground thorn has been changed to a magnetic energy trap, the sunflower has been changed to a supply base station, and the corn cannon has been changed to a nuclear bomb silo.
The packaging of the zombies has also been completely changed, and they have been changed to various alien creatures, all of which are all kinds of ugly Zerg, big and small, with different attack methods, but most of the Zerg's attack methods can see the zombies shadow.
"What's the matter?" Jia Peng also came over.
Su Jinyu said: "Look, this game called "Battle of the Moon" copied us!"
"What? So shameless!"
Everyone turned on their phones one after another and found the game in the app market.
Indeed, everyone can easily see that this game is a copy of "Plants vs. Zombies". Basically, the entire art resources, music and sound effects have been changed, and the UI has also been changed, but the gameplay in it is the same as that of "Plants vs. Zombies". Zombie is exactly the same.
"Can this be tolerated? I'll give it a bad review!" Jia Peng said angrily.
"Yes, review negative reviews! I want people in our community to review them together!" Everyone responded one after another.
Chen Mo didn't speak, and first took a closer look at the game's various statistics.
The online time is the day before yesterday, and it is completely free to download. The score is very low, only 2.3 points, and most of the player reviews are one-star bad reviews.
Obviously, these players have played "Plants vs. Zombies" and are very disdainful of this plagiarized game.
The charging method of the game is a built-in advertisement, and there will be a simple banner advertisement on each customs clearance screen.
Moreover, there are some value-added services in it. Players can pay to buy energy supplies (that is, the sunshine in "Plants vs. Zombies"), and after death, they can also pay to get three resurrection opportunities.
The developer is Feixian Interactive Entertainment, and the designer is a c-level designer who has never heard of it.
Feixian Huyu is a game company far away in Shanghai, barely considered second-rate. Before this, there were several very common end games and mobile games, but none of them were big sellers.
The company has poor reviews online, but because it's so unknown, most people don't know about its bad reputation.
Chen Mo only got a general understanding of the company's style after looking through several games launched by the company.
