Chapter 821: Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Wars

"We can make Plants vs. Zombies a shooting game, and there should be no problem with such a game on the console. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Mori Xia offered his own side of the view.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Huh?"

But Senxia's problem made Qianjia and Brother Xiao Ma all look confused.

"Mori Xia-kun, what you said about Plants vs. Zombies is the one we used to do before?" asked Qianjia.

Senxia nodded: "Well, that's right, that's it." ”

"Stop!"

Qianjia looked at Senxia with caring eyes for the mentally ill.

"Sen Xiajun, I know that when we started our business, this game helped us a lot, and now if we want to make a DC game here, it's no problem to make a Plants vs. Zombies 2 or something, but this game and shooting games, how do they have to do with it?"

Looking at Senxia's self-confident appearance, Qianjia knew that Senxia had no slips of the tongue here.

His meaning was clear, which was to make the game a shooter in the confrontation genre.

Shooting games are divided into first-person shooters and third-person shooters, but no matter what kind of shooter games they are, the root gameplay is actually the same.

But Qianjia can't discuss these two games together at all, because it's too strange to do so.

Director, this style of painting is wrong!

This kind of story,It's like letting the girl of the Light Music Club go to the army.,It doesn't feel right at all...... Hey, let the girls of the Light Music Club go to the army, it seems to be so emotional?

Wait a minute, why is it a light sound club......

Qianjia vaguely remembered in her mind that Sen Xia seemed to have said something similar before.

"It's because it's a combination like this, it's fun, isn't it?" But Senxia made another suggestion, "After seeing such a wonderful combination, everyone will be interested in it, so let's play and have fun!"

In a sense, it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Xia Sen, can you tell us more about your thoughts?" Brother Xiao Ma couldn't conceive such a scene in his mind, so he asked Sen Xia again here.

Senxia stood up, then walked over to the whiteboard in Little Pony's office.

In the brain hole of Sen Xia, a very interesting game came to mind at this time.

Mori Xia took out a whiteboard marker and wrote on it four Chinese characters "Garden War".

Garden Wars is a spin-off of Plants vs. Zombies, a fun shooter that can be played on a home console.

And in a sense, the game Garden Wars is indeed similar to Overwatch to some extent, but in terms of concept, the two are completely different, so it is actually a little inappropriate to compare the two.

"Plants vs. Zombies" is a game that was originally made by a company called popcap.

And after "Plants vs. Zombies", the game they made was not "Plants vs. Zombies 2,", but another game called "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Wars".

The Garden War on "History" is a game made with the Frost 3 engine, a single-player game that supports 24-player online battles, and was officially released on February 25, 2014.

Although Inspired by Plants vs. Zombies, Garden Wars is a third-person co-op shooter that challenges players to battle in different modes, such as co-op or confrontation, while also using a variety of fun power-ups to strengthen their character and then win on the Garden.

Of course, there is no Frost 3 engine on Senxia's side, but the 3D engine is already available at this time.

And unlike Overwatch, the "Q version" of Garden Wars is actually not very demanding for modeling.

After Senxia explained the basic game mode and gameplay of the game, the little horse brother here finally understood the basic situation.

"Let's use this as an example, in terms of plants, the most familiar ones should be pea shooters and sunflowers, so let's get a pea shooter here as materials. ”

Mori Xia drew a stick figure of a pea shooter on the screen.

"Pea shooter, we designed three skills for him, the first is the croton bomb, the pea shooter can throw the croton, cause damage to the enemy within the range, if the skill is upgraded, you can get the pepper bomb, will attract NPC zombies; the second skill is to transform into a machine gun shooter, the machine gun shooter is originally an upgraded version of the pea shooter in the game, but there is a slight restriction here, after the transformation, the pea shooter can't move, and if the skill is upgraded, increase the bullet damage, and then slow down the shooting speed; the third skill, is to move quickly, the pea shooter can increase his movement speed and jump height in a short time……”

Some of Peashooter's skills are similar to some of the characters in Overwatch, for example, in Overwatch, there is a "fortress" that can be transformed into a machine gun.

In addition, there are many people who say that Overwatch is actually a copy of Garden Wars.

Hawkers, actually, it's not bad, but if I have to say, these games are borrowed from another game called Team Fortress......

In the words of the Moon World, Team Fortress is the "original text" of the story, but Team Fortress is a fun game, but it will not be mentioned here.

After Mori Xia finished talking about the pea shooter, he drew another sunflower.

Because the skills of the pea shooter have been explained in detail before, here Mori Xia just briefly explained what the role of Sunflower looks like as a healing character.

After saying this, Mori Xia looked up at the sunflower on the screen again.

He always felt as if something was missing.

Mori Xia thought for a moment, he took out a whiteboard marker again, and then added a pair of black-rimmed glasses to Sunflower's face, and nodded with satisfaction this time.

"It's good, the country is ...... profitable"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It feels good!"

Before Senxia's two poems were finished, Qianjia stood up with a shining eye: "Shooting games have great requirements for mice, but if it is this type of shooting game, the requirements for the mouse will be much smaller!"

Yes, FPS games like CS have high requirements for skills, not to mention the current FPS games, the most popular is only the Thor Hammer series, the "Half-Life" series has just appeared, as for Counter-Strike or something, it will probably wait until June, and there is still more than a month before now.

Players in this year,The concept of shooting games is still very superficial.,Gasping for breath or something.,There's no at all.,Qianjia used her own UI and game understanding to think.,She found that if you do this,It seems that it can really look like it.。

"Well, I should say, it's really good. Chika followed Mori Xia's instructions and then blended his stick figure on the whiteboard, which she found to be really good.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But if you do this, the game must not be small, right? After all, it's 3D!" said Pony.

"It's okay, we lack everything now, but we just don't lack money. Senxia waved his hand.

Although after investing in the production of "The Sky of Fate", a large amount of money on Senxia's side has been constrained, but the popularity of the Mithril platform, coupled with the existence of the cash cow of "Hero's Trajectory", Senxia's side is really not short of money.

Getting some money to make a "Garden War" or something, in Senxia's opinion, it is completely feasible.

"Garden Wars" or something, Senxia should be ahead of its time for this era.

But Mori Xia didn't care.

Regardless of the success or failure of this game, there is no shortage for Senxia's side.

- Actually, Mori Xia's idea was very simple: to make this game and ask for directions.

The "original" version of this game was released in 2014, a full 15 years from now, and if Mori Xia makes this game, it will probably be more than ten years away.

Before this, Senxia had thought about whether the game on his side would be unadaptable.

But the popularity of "Hero's Trajectory" has already told Sen Xia that everything is actually a little different from what he imagined.

The current contradiction is not the contradiction of development, but the contradiction between people's growing spiritual and cultural needs and material culture.

When the question of "whether there is" is not resolved, it makes no sense to talk about whether it is good or not.

The hero's trajectory is not only a game that has become popular, but also driven the works of Kadokawa such as the show to tease the Magister, and it has also become popular, and after completely achieving unexpected achievements, Mori Xia's mind is overflowing.

But one game doesn't mean anything, so Senxia needs another "futuristic" game to ask for directions.

Senxia has always had this idea before, but there is no way to do it, and now that Brother Xiao Ma wants to do this kind of thing, Senxia thought of this matter by the way.

Why can't I talk about two things in one now?

After having this idea, Senxia's interest became even stronger.

After describing the general things clearly, and then sorting them out, Senxia handed over the matter to Brother Xiao Ma to do, anyway, Brother Xiao Ma has time now.

What? Not enough manpower, not enough technology?

It's okay, we've got Sega Daddy!

On Sega's side, you can still hug your thighs, although they have invested most of their money in a certain game, but it is undeniable that Sega still has money.

After this matter was decided, Senxia and Qianjia left here, and the rest of the matter could not be solved by an interview, Senxia still needed to prepare a large number of materials, and then negotiate with Brother Xiaoma here.

"Huh......" After coming out of Brother Xiaoma's office, Senxia let out a sigh, "It seems that I will be busy in the future." ”

"Well, but it feels like we're a little far from what we planned. Qianjia hugged her chest and thought.

At first, Qianjia just wanted to get "Hero's Track" and "Brave New World". But in the midst of the discussion with Senxia, the whole thing began to change.

In the end, the game that was going to be put on Sega became a work in the Plants vs. Zombies series.

Qianjia knew, and Senxia had considered whether to sell the rights to the game Plants vs. Zombies and give himself back - of course, that was a long time ago.

Originally, it was just a small game that was placed in the corner, but at this moment, it was taken out by Senxia's side.

Moreover, it seems that Senxia is going to make a game related to it here?

"Well, it's okay, anyway, we don't have to hold on to Sega, PC is the right way. ”

Senxia said his reasons.

"Although I don't want to admit it, Sen Xiajun, your words are really meaningful. Qianjia shook her head and sighed.

"Eh, what's the matter, senior sister, you seem to be a little tired here?" Sen Xia noticed that Qianjia seemed to be a little deflated here, "Is it Sega's problem?"

"It can't be said to be a problem, it's just that the situation of Sega is very bad now, if DC can be successfully listed in North America, there will probably be room for maneuver, but if DC can't, the follow-up will be more troublesome. ”

Qianjia still knows some inside information, so at this time, Qianjia is worried about Sega's fate. Although it can't be said to be its own thing, it is still closer to Sega than Sony or Nintendo.

"It shouldn't be a problem for Sega to go to North America, the problem is after that. Senxia expressed his opinion, "If DC is listed in North America, it will definitely be renewed, and what to do after this is the key to the problem." ”

Sega's basic market is in North America, and as for the Japanese market, it is basically the world of Nintendo and Sony, although Sega still has a market, but it can't compare to the first two at all.

I think yes, Sega is quite well-known in North America, and the number of die-hard fans is definitely quite large.

"After that, it's easy, as long as DC can be launched in North America, there will be room for maneuver, and when the time comes, as long as Mr. Suzuki can make that killer game, everything will be solved, right?" Qianjia felt that as long as he could survive this difficulty, the follow-up should become easier and more convenient.

- That's why I said, that's what worries me the most......

Chika thinks that it is the place that can save Sega Dreamcast, and in Senxia's opinion, this will completely bury the place where Sega DC will be buried.

But this matter, Senxia is not easy to explain to Qianjia, so it can only be like this.

But Sen Xia didn't want to continue to discuss this matter: "Well...... That's it, it's going to be a festival at Toba Shrine, so let's go here first. ”

Well, that's right, it's almost May, and Yukino's matter is put first by Mori Xia, as for work...... Let's talk about it later.
