The moment Plants vs. Zombies went online, tens of thousands of computers downloaded at the same time, and five minutes later, that number increased to 30,000.

Ding Lei of Wangyi headquarters is one of the tens of thousands of downloads.

As the president and CEO of the Internet giant, the Internet speed he can enjoy is certainly not comparable to ordinary people, and when most people are still waiting for the download, he has completed the download, and the installation has been completed, and at the same time click on the game.

When the game CG appeared, Ding Ti's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Even if he has some dissatisfaction with Zhou Fangyuan, Ding Lei still has to admit that the CG of this game is well done. The picture is good, the composition is good, the colors are good, the rhythm is good...... Especially the picture of the appearance of those plants at the end, it made him, a person who is no longer young, a little enthusiastic.

Finally waiting for the game CG to pass,The game interface officially appeared,What appeared in front of Ding Lei,Is a huge tombstone,There are four options on the tombstone,They are"Adventure mode","Mini game","Puzzle mode"And "Survival mode",There are three small white vases on the pedestal of the tombstone,The vases are written on them"Options","Help" and "Exit"。 In addition to the small vase, there are car keys with "Shop" written on them, a small kettle with "Secret Garden" written on them, a book with "Illustrated Book" written on them, and a black sunflower trophy with "Achievement" written on it.

On the head of the tombstone, there is a hexagonal protrusion that says "local", Ding Lei tried to click it, and found that the small protrusion on the tombstone suddenly rotated and became "network", and the following options also changed, or four, which are "Quick Battle", "Friend Battle", "Friend List" and "Co-op Mode".

This newly emerged interface is actually an improvement made by Zhou Fangyuan to this game.

In the previous life, when the first generation of this game was just released, there was only a stand-alone version and no online version, and there was no content such as player battles, but unfortunately, because of this, the playability of this game dropped by more than one level, and as a result, the second generation quickly declined, and finally disappeared completely.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan wanted to change this situation, so he directly came up with the online version.

Quick battles are very simple, it is a one-on-one between players and players, one side chooses plants, and the other side chooses zombies. The winning side can get victory points, which can be used to buy various small things in the game store, such as fire, new plant skins, such as different light and shadow effects of fire, such as special battlefield locations, special avatar frames, etc. And the skins that can be purchased with Victory Points are much more beautiful than what can be bought with credits earned in Adventure Mode.

Not to mention the friend battle and friend list, the last cooperative mode, there are two or three small modes inside. They are Offensive Mode, Defensive Mode, and Coordination Mode. Among them, the offensive mode is that both of them are zombies, one is responsible for arranging troops, and the other is responsible for collecting death energy, and the enemy facing is a very difficult computer.

In Defense mode, you control the plants, one for placing them, and the other for collecting energy and choosing to release the lawnmower.

The most interesting of the final co-op mode is the two-on-two battle, which can be said to be the most confrontational mode of this game.

Ding Lei briefly looked at the introduction in the game, he thought about it, first sold the game for ten yuan, and then clicked on the adventure mode.

The adventure mode is actually the story mode, and the content in it is all set, from easy to difficult, from beginner to intermediate, step by step to bring the player to a higher level and give the player more things.

Ding Lei held the mouse and began to click, and following the game's tutorial, he learned how to grow plants, how to harvest energy, and then how to rely on the sun's energy to make new plants again.

He learned how to match the attributes of plants, how to defend against zombie attacks, and how to arrange special plants according to unexpected situations.

He also learned how to deal with particularly powerful zombies and learned the trick of using different plants in different environments.

Anyway, after the first chapter, he fully understood what the game was about, and then he got hooked on it.

There are new plants in each level, as well as a night mode, a water mode, and even a rooftop mode, and under each mode there are some strange plants, but the first plants are useless. How to mix plants, how to arrange troops, how to stop the enemy...... It's not hard to say it's a game, but it's not easy to say it's not easy, in short, it's almost impossible to clear the level directly at once, and a few levels even need to be tried several times to pass.

This game, unconsciously, is the time of the whole day has passed, and by the time Ding is tired and comes back to his senses, the sun has begun to set in the west.

Ding Lei stretched his waist, and he really had mixed feelings in his heart.

Even he had to admit that the game was really fun. When he heard the name of this game before, his first feeling was that the name of this game was too earthy, what Plants vs. Zombies, how could there be such a straightforward name, it felt like those bad movies in Hong Kong films in the seventies and eighties, and he hated to use the name directly to explain all the content in the whole movie.

This game is the same, with such an earthy name, people don't have the desire to play at first glance. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to figure out what the "enemy" game was, he wouldn't have bothered to take a look at it with Ding Lei's ever-changing identity.

But now that he has seen it, he realizes that he really underestimated this game, and even underestimated this distant game company.

Although this game is simple, although the name is very earthy, although the game graphics are not very good, although the game style is too cartoon...... But the content of the game is so interesting that you can't help but get hooked on it. That's the case with him, he even threw away his work in the company, so what about the average gamer? How would they get addicted? How many players would spend money on a game if a gamer spent ten dollars? How much would the game cost? How much money would a distant game make?

Ding Lei suddenly realized that he had too many things to think about, and a game made him see the strength and sincerity of distant games, and what he could see, players could naturally see.

So, what is the quality of "Journey to the West", which will be launched in the near future as the main content after "Plants vs. Zombies"? Ding Ti suddenly began to have some worries about his own game, the theme is the same, the content is similar, but the launch time is later...... If there is nothing different, he is very worried that the Journey to the West online game he painstakingly managed will be directly crushed to death by the other party.

But now it's impossible to change the project.,The money has been spent.,People from the art and music have been invited.,Now it's a little late for the project.,He can only hope that his game project team can be powerful enough.,It's best to beat the westward online game of the distant game.,The worst.,It's also a tie.。

That's right, after trying "Plants vs. Zombies", Ding Lei's heart has begun to waver.

And in the whole day he played the game, "Plants vs. Zombies" reached 300,000 downloads, many of which were downloaded from Internet cafes. As long as it is an Internet café with an Internet café management system installed, theoretically only one download is enough, so the number of downloads alone cannot explain the problem, and the main thing is to see the amount of purchase.

The background shows that within half an hour of the launch of "Plant", the purchase volume was less than 10,000 copies, although this is 100,000 yuan, but it is still too bad for Zhou Fangyuan's expectations.

But he's not in a hurry, because he provides gamers with 24 hours of free play time, as well as the free game experience of the first major chapter, although all other features are locked, but it's the first chapter, and people can play it over and over again, and because of the difference in network speed, most people can't even play the game in the first half hour, so the sales of 10,000 copies can only be regarded as a start. It is a very small number of players who have a particularly fast network speed and are not bad for money, as well as some players who are very loyal to Blizzard games, because Plants vs. Zombies is also on the Battle.net client, so they treat this game as a Blizzard game, so they choose to pay directly.

These players can't be regarded as ordinary players, so their desire to buy and purchase data can't be taken seriously, and what really needs to be seen is when most players clear the first chapter, as well as the free time of 24 hours
