Players are enthusiastic, but they are helpless in the face of the second level of the devil's difficulty.

The third week has passed, and only a few people have been able to hold on to 200 rounds and pass the second level, and only about 100 people have entered the third level out of tens of millions.

Just when many players complained that the second level was too difficult, Lin Yan announced on the official website of 17175: Digital World will launch an electronic monthly magazine every month, and all VIP members will receive one issue for free.

The e-monthly magazine is not a paper magazine, but an e-book model on the Internet, and the first issue was launched in August, in which it introduced the gameplay of "Plants vs. Zombies" in detail.

First of all, the game introduction of "Plants vs. Zombies", the game background, and then the attack or auxiliary data of various plants, as well as the defense value and attack methods of zombies, etc.

Secondly, the list of winners and the distribution of digital currency rewards in the last two weeks were announced, and a detailed introduction to the gameplay of the first and second levels was published for players to discuss and study, and screenshots of some excellent IDs of the formation map, but the statement does not represent the views of 17175.

After that, there will be digital currency recharge promotions, as well as the exchange of gold coins for digital currency in the game, the operation of the auction house, and the detailed introduction of the trading system.

Of course, player stories can't be missing, and there will be news interview records of 17175 interactive entertainment reporters who make a special trip to interview real players, as well as emotional stories written by players, game stories and other sensational texts.

……

After day and night research and a lot of practice, after calculating plant attacks and zombie life and defense, integrating several sets of pass strategies, so that the number of players who passed the first and second levels increased greatly, and it is said that it was also extended to reality, and many high-level players sold strategies to make money.

Although there are many websites that have pirated and distributed, at the behest of Lin Yan, Lin Hai's official website issued an announcement that it will cooperate with the cyber police to hold intellectual property rights accountable, stating that the magazine is prohibited from being sold without the permission of the digital world.

After all, e-publications are only available for free to premium VIP members, and there are no physical magazines on the market. In addition to stimulating the enthusiasm of players, it also indirectly increased the VIP registered users of the 17175 website, and VIP players are all 10 yuan per month membership fee, which is all income-generating......

The third level launched by Lin Yan is about the same difficulty as the second level, and there are fewer spell zombies for the time being, but four portals have been added. Zombies will enter another portal exit through a portal, and this is not one-way, it changes with time and the number of rounds, and it also changes randomly.

This requires players to be improvised, to adjust their strategies at any time, and to be familiar with the characteristics of each zombie.

Just adding a small random door makes the game much more interesting, and also invalidates those fixed tactical routines, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, only ever-changing tactics.

The launch of the third level has made many players addicted, especially those who have already mastered the art of planting plants.

It turns out that as long as you put the plants in place and sit quietly and wait for the zombies to send them to the door to abuse the vegetables, you have lost the excitement and sense of achievement, and you begin to feel that it is just like that, and you are aesthetically tired.

At this moment, I immediately began to study new plans energetically, and although the zombies abused me countless times, I still ...... I still have a "pact" with zombies!

For several weeks, casual games have strongly occupied the first list of online games in the summer file, and they have repeatedly broken records, and the most popular is "Plant Wars".

Zombie", which has only been on the first throne of online games in just one month, makes people laugh and cry.

The success of "Plants vs. Zombies" has also put many game companies in a dilemma. After all, this is a casual online game, relaxed and enjoyable, which is destined to make players unlikely to spend too much money on this game, but the player's popularity is very high.

If you want to grab the market and popularity, you have to spend a lot of effort to develop interesting casual games, which will inevitably reduce the profits, and if you don't develop good casual games, then it will be difficult for you to attract a wave of popularity.

How to choose the small market share of online games?

……

28th Floor, Harmony Building, 17175 Interactive Entertainment Game Test Room.

Wu Lei was in a very good mood today, but Zhou Qifan was extremely depressed.

The reason for the incident is that the two of them bet to see who will break through the 200 rounds first and enter the second level, and the winner will date the bear bear tonight, these two good brothers are so undisciplined, despise it!

Zhou Qifan came into contact with the game a few days earlier than Wu Lei, and more importantly, he is usually more interested in the game than Wu Lei, and the technique and arrangement of troops are indeed better than Wu Lei.

After playing for a few weeks, I was at level 198 every time, and suddenly there was a zombie's chewing sound "squeak", "NO!~~~" A line of words came out of the screen "Zombies ate your brain"!

And Wu Lei was lucky to be able to play 160 levels, so Zhou Qifan is very confident that he will definitely win today's game.

For an afternoon, both of them raced against time, not paying attention to each other's game screens, nervously coping with the zombies' attacks.

For two or three hours in a row, they all failed to clear the customs, and the closest one was to 199 levels. But Zhou Qifan was not discouraged, and when he was about to regroup and do it again, Wu Lei laughed, "I cleared the customs ......"

"What?" Zhou Qifan was shocked!

"I've cleared the customs!How about it, come and worship me!!" Wu Lei said triumphantly.

"No way, how can you be faster than me?"

"Don't admit if you lose a bet?"

"I admit it, but you have to tell me how you lived!" Zhou Qifan was full of doubts.

"Hehe!" Wu Lei looked left and right, and whispered, "I asked my classmate for a modifier......"

"You're cheating?!"

"I'm not cheating, I'm testing the game's bugs, this is a great achievement, okay!" Wu Lei's face did not change, he looked like a hero!

"!¥......%, where's your face!?" Zhou Qifan pinched Wu Lei's neck.

"Ahem, cough, cough!" Wu Lei couldn't breathe, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, let's go talk to Brother Lin!

……

After Lin Yan learned about this again, he was very shocked and immediately called Lin Hai and Qiu Xianlin to discuss.

When I learned that Wu Lei's current modifier was a specially cracked version by a classmate of Tianda Niuren, the two high-level executives were also very surprised.

After some investigation, I learned that the stand-alone version of this program on the website can be used, but the client download version is not, although there is a false alarm, but it still gave Lin Yan a reminder!

Since the core of casual online games is the original stand-alone game, many online game companies have temporarily worked overtime to adapt, but they can't get rid of its quasi-stand-alone mode, as long as the final data package is uploaded to the host, you can see it.

High no

Katsuhan!

Just when the digital world is dominant, the 17175 game platform occupies more than 60% of the market share, and the jealousy of online game companies is great.

Therefore, many netizen companies have coincidentally modified it to "quasi-stand-alone mode", that is to say, as long as you log in online to read the game, even if the network is suddenly disconnected, the game is still running, until you play over, victory or defeat when you need to transmit data, then upload data online.

Why do you do this, because although casual games are popular, they don't make money, but they need such a large server and manual operation, and this series of expenses is not proportional to the profit return, especially those online game companies that have played a free policy in order to seize the market, how not to lose money?

This solution can greatly reduce the load on the server, which greatly reduces the company's operating costs. Even a private person can run a fiber broadband and buy a few servers, but there will be a fatal heel in doing so.

Players who have played a single-player game know that if I download a modifier, I can make a lot of money, or heroes are invincible, what are the consequences of this?

This is equivalent to a plug-in in an online game, which is a taboo in games, and the miraculous fall is the best example......

The most intolerable thing for online game players is the fraud of online game operators, especially modifying online game parameters behind the player's back and treating players as monkeys, which will be a matter of digging their own grave.

But players are blind and impulsive, as long as they provoke appropriately, players will eventually vent this grievance towards the 17175 online game, and when the time comes, they will be able to sit back and enjoy it, even if the casual game market is messed up, they don't care.

The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, since we don't make money, we also want you to make no money, and everyone will die together.

Anyway, they are small households, change the name of the company, and continue to be able to go to the sea of online games, but the game brand of 17175 Mutual Entertainment has just caught fire, and if a basin is buckled down, it is really easy to have an accident, but when the reputation problem is really not so easy to solve.

"We need to plan ahead!" Lin Yan's thoughts became clear.

"Plan ahead?" Lin Hai and Qiu Xianlin were both stunned.

"Well, yes, first of all, we have to give the player's big brother a preventive shot before the crisis breaks out!" Lin Yan nodded and said: "Immediately announce it on the official website, warn players not to use a series of cheating tools such as online game modifiers, otherwise we will warn three times, and each time we will give an email notification after the disconnection, otherwise after three times, the account will be permanently banned!"

"I really don't understand, playing games with modifiers, what's the pleasure of that kind of experience?" Although Lin Hai is the director of operations, he is not obsessed with playing games, and he can't understand the pain of players who are aggrieved to the limit, nor can they understand the refreshing feeling of players after clearing the level.

"Well, Lin Yan is right, we are all hardcore gamers, and this really has to be guarded against. Qiu Xianlin reacted, now that "Plants vs. Zombies" is hot and sad to pass the level, there will soon be players who will be active to find plug-ins.

Qiu Xianlin thought for a while and continued: "It's not enough to only warn, we must develop a game firewall to check and kill those modifiers like plug-ins! Although it can't be used in the online version now, it can also endanger our reputation in the stand-alone version of the web!"

At the same time, Lin Yan also gave Wu Lei and Zhou Qifan a credit, if the two of them hadn't discovered this problem, once such a thing broke out in the player, the negative impact would be very headache!
