Back to Beitong, the temperature here is much cooler than in the capital, and you can clearly feel this when you get off the train.

The third brother had been waiting for him outside the train station for a long time, and when he got into the car, Zhou Fangyuan walked directly towards the company.

"Why don't you go home and take a shower?"

The third brother asked.

"No, go to the company first, and wait for the game to go online. ”

Zhou Fangyuan shook his head.

Of course, he also wanted to go back to take a shower and rest, after such a long train ride, it would be a lie to say that he was not tired. However, he also knows that the people in the company are waiting for him to go to the game now, and he himself is very much looking forward to the game being launched, so he insists on going to the company first, resting or something, and waiting for the game to be officially launched.

Distant game, when Zhou Fangyuan arrived, everyone else was waiting for him at the door of the company. As soon as he got out of the car, everyone immediately applauded and welcomed.

Zhou Fangyuan pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"I'm only going back for two days this time, just for this time the game is online, how about it?

Zhou Fangyuan said, looking at Chen Guangting.

"There are no problems anymore, we have done hundreds of tests, all the bugs we can find have been fixed, and we have added a real-time feedback mechanism to the game, as long as we find a bug in the game, we can get the news as soon as possible and fix it online. ”

Chen Guangting replied.

He was dug up by Zhou Fangyuan from the treasure island at a high price, of course he wanted to make a difference, Zhou Fangyuan provided him with funds and personnel, and gave him enough trust to let him be directly responsible for a game project, if he couldn't get results, he himself would not have the face to face Zhou Fangyuan.

"That's good," Zhou Fangyuan nodded, then looked at the others, "Let's all go in, it's hot outside, don't stand here." ”

After speaking, he was the first to enter the building, and the others followed behind him, mighty and magnificent.

Because the number of elevators is limited, Zhou Fangyuan, the third brother and Sun Fatzi take an elevator, and the others can only squeeze or wait for the next trip.

A few minutes later, in the project department of "Plants vs. Zombies" of the distant game company, Zhou Fangyuan looked at the changing game screen on the computer screen, and I have to say that the game level of these people from the treasure island is still good, at least the game made is already very in line with Zhou Fangyuan's requirements.

Of course, he is also constantly paying attention to the whole process, especially the game development process, he completes the setting of zombies by hand, as well as the ability settings of various plants, as well as the appearance settings, etc., to put it bluntly, he himself accounts for at least 30% of the credit for the development of this game. With so many setting drawings and Okubo's help as an artist, if the final game restoration is not enough, Zhou Fangyuan will be the first to slap himself.

After watching it for a while, he also felt that the game was fine, so he nodded, "Let's go online." ”

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, so now Zhou Fangyuan will make up for this shareholder wind.

As soon as he gave the order, the company's programmers began to get up busily, and the game client had been uploaded to the server, but it had not been opened for download.

But now it's time to open the download, just a little bit of operation on the side of the game from afar, update the web page, add a download button, and everything will not be a problem.

At the same time as the download was opened, the network manager and QQ pushed information at the same time again, in fact, as early as a month ago, the news about "Plants vs. Zombies" began to flood the Internet.

Under Zhou Fangyuan's suggestion, QQ also took a step forward to get out of the mini news network, and the page about the game was full of news related to the hospital network. "Big Talk" is naturally put first, and this will not be shaken. And "Plant" was lucky to be placed in second place, and it stayed for a month.

In the past month, I don't know how many netizens have seen the news about "Plants", and many game lovers have been looking forward to it, just waiting for the game to be launched.

Now as soon as the news is pushed out, the number of downloads has soared to tens of thousands in an instant, and the server has become crowded all of a sudden, fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan has prepared three backup servers in advance, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to put the backup servers online to relieve the pressure on the network and servers.

Fortunately, the game itself is not big, only more than 100M, even at the current network speed, it doesn't take long to download. And most of the downloads are concentrated in Internet cafes, and the broadband of Internet cafes is still different from that of ordinary people, the speed is faster, and it is dedicated to private lines.

So it didn't take long for players to get started with the game and start trying to experience the game content.

Just like Zhou Fangyuan's previous plan, "Plant" was summarized by him into Blizzard Battle.net, and in the top option of Blizzard's Outlook, there was an additional "Far Game", and Battle.net also started from this moment on, officially renamed from "Blizzard Outlook" to "Outlook", and removed the word "Blizzard".

Even the Battle.net logo has been replaced with a new LOGO, the original battle LOGO is a triangle-like icon composed of six blue arcs, and now the color of the icon has changed, to six blue and yellow bright colors, and the triangle-like pattern has become more complex.

After downloading the game, you can log in directly, or you can import it to Battle.net and play from Battle.net.

However, this game is not free, in order to promote Battle.net and Blizzard games, several games under Blizzard have all used the free-to-play mode, only adding some paid game content.

And "Plant" has been a charging model since the beginning of its launch, 10 yuan, not expensive, directly buy out the game, and all the content in the game is free.

Of course, in order to give players the desire and urge to consume, "Plant" has a 24-hour free trial, but in the trial version, the achievement system and more modes in it cannot be unlocked, players can only play in the main mode, and can only play the content of the first chapter, and the next few chapters are all locked.

At the same time as it was launched in China, the Blizzard headquarters in the United States also launched the game, and the foreign sales price was slightly higher, $5, but compared with other games, such a price can be regarded as a free gift. However, there is also a gap in the quality of the game itself, and those games with high fees are all large-scale stand-alone games, and "Plant" can only be regarded as a puzzle game at best, so naturally it is not qualified to sell such a high price.

Paid games are a relatively common way to charge fees abroad, and crooked nuts are also used to spending money to buy games. But it is different in China, so Zhou Fangyuan's decision this time can be regarded as an attempt. After all, the domestic game industry started late, and a large number of stand-alone games on the market are still pirated, so it is understandable that everyone is used to using piracy.

In the final analysis, genuine copyright is the way out, and if we want to promote more game companies to create new ones in China, we must bring enough profits to game companies.

Independent research and development is not bad, but there must be a matching market, otherwise 10 million developed games will sell 10,000 yuan, and a fool will be willing to develop independently.

In short, this time is both an attempt and a normal business. Zhou Fangyuan has played his own "Plant", which can be said to be no different from the same game in his previous life, "Plant" in his previous life can cause popularity around the world, and there is no reason why he can't do it in this life.

So he began to wait, waiting for the latest download data and purchase data report, Alipay has already started statistics, and the data on the far side of the game is also constantly changing.

Of course, he won't wait here stupidly, and after watching it for a while, he went to the office with the third brother and Sun Fatzi.

"Plant" is online, this matter can be put to an end for the time being, and they still have to discuss the matter of "Big Talk", compared to "Plant", "Big Talk" is the heavy punch he really values.

And just when he began to discuss the follow-up work of "Big Talk", other Internet companies in Huaxia were also paying attention to the actions of distant games, and the eyes of Internet people across the country were focused on this small company.

As soon as the game was announced, people from several major companies coincidentally chose to download the game, especially those companies that are interested in making games, and they must be the first to understand the new trends and content of distant games.

The game is downloaded quickly, and the internet speed of large companies is faster, and it may take others ten minutes or even half an hour, but they may get it right in a few minutes.

Landing in the game, a very cartoon-looking ...... No, it's just a pure cartoon-style interface that appears in front of the player.

However, before they could see it clearly, as soon as the screen turned, the screen immediately went black. Gradually, an orange logo appeared in the center of the screen.

This is the LOGO of the distant game, and there are big words "distant game" underneath.

When these words appeared, it quickly became small, and then a cartoonish zombie head jumped out, pulled its mouth and yelled a few times, and then disappeared again. After a while, the real CG can only be reduced, and the perspective first floats high in the sky, condescending to look at a large courtyard below.

Then the perspective gradually zoomed down, and an ordinary-looking courtyard appeared in front of everyone, with various tools placed in the yard, and at first glance it was the most ordinary kind of courtyard.

It was early in the morning, the courtyard was quiet, and the owner had clearly not woken up yet. But at this moment, the floor tiles suddenly changed and moved, and then one of the floor tiles was lifted violently, and a dry palm came out of the dirt. Immediately after that, more and more palms appeared, and the music became dangerous.

Beneath these palms are zombies, and when zombies appear, the music is at its most dangerous. The zombie shuffled in twisted steps, closing in on the room.

Just as they were about to enter the room, suddenly, a ray of sunlight fell from the sky, and a stage of sunflowers fell to the ground, and as soon as they landed, he opened his big mouth and spit out a lot of round sunshine. And then more plants came from the sky, there were pea shooters, there were watermelon cannonballs, there were cacti, and so on, and all of these plants looked very cute.

The moment they landed, they opened their mouths to eat the ball of sunlight, and then one by one, they were full of power and launched a ferocious counterattack against the zombies.

Then, as soon as the screen turns, the CG ends, and the game officially begins.

Just a CG shows a level that is difficult for domestic game producers to achieve today, and everyone who has seen CG can't wait to click on the game and start playing.
