1ooo197 Chapter 594 Farm Madness

※Ma Huateng looked at the display screen and used the text clearly marked in "bold" with a face as usual

"Farm" 10 "Plants vs. Zombies" What kind of game is this? Ma Huateng couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time. "Farm" is very simple: planting vegetables, harvesting vegetables, stealing vegetables. "Plants vs. Zombies" uses a variety of plants to defend against zombies and defend your home, how do the two games integrate completely different genres?

Ma Huateng thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of one, so he simply didn't bother, and just waited for Lin Feng to explain.

Lin Feng smiled. I also played "The Farm" before I was reborn. I used to be crazy, and I remembered to keep the dishes and steal the vegetables every day, but after playing for a while, I got bored. Lin Feng often lamented that "The Farm" was too monotonous, and the pleasure of ordering and stealing vegetables was easy to fade, making people unable to lift their temperament and play for a long time. Later, I played "Plants vs. Zombies", and I was crazy at first, but then I always challenged the "infinite mode." "It's boring for a long time.

After getting tired of playing these two relaxing and casual games, Lin Feng often fantasized about whether the two games could be combined, so that the fun of the game would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced, such as using the money from growing vegetables and selling them to cultivate plants, guard the farm, defend the home, and prevent others from stealing vegetables. But there is also a problem, how do others steal it? What way to steal it? This question has always puzzled Lin Feng until he saw a child at the next table playing "Plants vs. Zombies" in the restaurant just now. and when he saw the porridge in his hand. Lin Feng suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Ma Dong. Here's what I thought," Lin Feng brought his ideas to life.

Lin Feng conceived that all players initially had a small island, and there were only six fields on the island, and players could rely on these six fields to grow crops, just like "The Farm", they could grow radishes, cabbage, apples, and other crops, which could be sold to the system in exchange for money. This part is the same as "The Farm". The difference is the introduction of the Plants vs. Zombies mode later.

Players want their hard-earned vegetables not to be stolen, and the only way to do this is to "keep the vegetables" under "The Farm." And you have to act fast to avoid being "stolen". However, in this game conceived by Lin Feng, if the player wants to "defend the vegetables", they must synthesize "defense plants" through the crops they plant. "Reuse the "Defensive Plant" to build a defense system to defend against other players' "stealing" behavior. The types and functions of "plants" are the same as those in "Plants vs. Zombies", there are plants that can spray "beans", plants that can spray "ice beans", and plants that throw watermelons.

Of course. The most important and exciting thing after growing and guarding vegetables is stealing vegetables. Stealing vegetables takes a completely new approach. Since each player is on an island, the player wants to steal the vegetables. First, you must buy a raft from the system, then buy a "zombie" to steal vegetables, and use the raft to row to the island of the person you want to steal the vegetables and drop the "zombies". Command it to steal vegetables. Of course, buy "zombies." Not only does it cost money, but in order to feed the zombies, they must supply them with food every day, and if the zombies do not have food, they will attack their farmland to get food.

Ma Huateng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Ma Dong. I've tentatively named this game Farm Frenzy. Its selling point is threefold. One is to combine the best of "Farm" and "Plants vs. Zombies" and "defend plants." It can only be crafted with planted plants, which makes the game more interesting and replayable, and secondly, because each player starts with a separate island. Therefore, if you want to steal other people's food, you must calculate the time of the journey, and if you arrive too late, you must wait too late, and you may be acquired, and you must also worry about whether other people will come to attack your farm.

And the player also has to calculate whether their "zombies can break through the opponent's defenses, which adds to the strategy of the game; Since all players are on the vast sea, and all players are on the same large map, players can form guilds with each other and trade with each other. Acts such as stealing vegetables or defending themselves together. Lin Feng explained excitedly.

Allowing players to plant vegetables and build defenses on the island not only increases the fun of the game but also makes the game more playable, especially this time the stealing of vegetables is no longer the player's stealing behavior, but the fact that you can see the "stealing" player's boat with your own eyes, which is even more exciting. Think about it, if more than a dozen players rowed a small boat at the same time, carrying the "zombie boys" who came to steal vegetables, waiting by the island, waiting for the moment when the crops were ripe, and the "Normandy landing" was carried out. It must have been quite spectacular.

The charm of online games lies in the alliance and confrontation between players, and "Farm Frenzy" has the biggest characteristics of online games, which solves the shortcomings of the previous "Farm" and "Plants vs. Zombies" in the interaction between players.

Subsequently, Lin Feng and Ma Huateng had a detailed discussion on "Crazy Farm", and called Wu Zhaopu and others to jointly negotiate and formulate various rules and systems one by one and divide the rights and interests.

"Farm Frenzy" is opened and owned by "Second Shijie", while Tencent is responsible for the operation. "Second shijie" and "Tencent Holdings." Fifty-fifty on profits.

Wu Zhaopu and others were amazed when they learned of the idea of "Crazy Farm", and they didn't know how to describe it. This "Crazy Farm" has been confirmed by Cui Mingze, Qiu Xin and others, and the difficulty of the whole game is extremely low, and all the data are ready-made, so at most, Yuefeng knows how to train the enemy, and can open it. However, although the game is extremely simple, the gameplay is extremely high. It not only combines the advantages of the two games, but also solves the biggest drawbacks of the two games, and if it is listed, it will definitely cause a sensation again.

What's more, with the current status of "Tencent" in China, it is difficult for "Crazy Farm" to become popular.

As for Lin Feng, who conceived and designed "Farm Madness". Wu Zhaopu and others admired Lin Feng is five-body throw. Their chairman's head doesn't know what to do, and there will always be whimsical ideas, but they are always so amazing.

Maybe he's the Einstein of gaming!

Subsequently, when Tencent and "Second Shijie" jointly held a press conference to announce the news of jointly opening "Crazy Farm", domestic players were boiling.

If you say that the game with the largest number of online users in the world is definitely not "Full House", which has broken through the highest number of online users, or "Legend", which has just exceeded 100 million registered players. At present, the game with the largest player base is definitely Tencent's "Farm", whether it is a white-collar worker sitting in an office, a blue-collar worker working in a factory, or a state cadre in an institution, or a student going to school, "Farm" can be said to be eager to play. According to incomplete statistics, the number of players playing "Farm" is not less than B in the country.

The number of people playing the game is enough to make all game companies jealous. Especially this game is so simple, not only does it not have gorgeous graphics, but it also doesn't have any plot, it is simply planting vegetables and stealing vegetables to attract hundreds of millions of people, and all game critics are shocked and speechless. Many foreign game companies have also copied the idea of "Farm", and it has also gained a lot of popularity and player support after a slight modification, which can be said to be the most popular game after "Tetris" and "Minesweeper".

However, after playing "The Farm" in China for more than a year. The enthusiasm has begun to fade, and at this time, Tencent and "Second Shijie" announced the opening of a new "Farm Madness", and it is a combination of today's most popular web game "Farm" and the once popular "Plants vs. Zombies", just this gimmick evokes everyone's fantasies. After all, everyone is still playing "Farm", but "Plants vs. Zombies" is a beautiful memory.

But. How do "o Farm" and "Plants vs. Zombies" merge and what kind of game is it? All Tencent users are looking forward to it.

For many people, they don't like games like "Legendary", they don't like intense battle games like "Counter-Strike", and they don't like turn-based games like "Magic Amber", they just want to play simple and relaxing browser games, "Farm" and "Plants vs. Zombies" are very much in line with their requirements, and they can play if they want to play, and if they don't want to play, they don't have to worry too much.

After a week of waiting for all players, the first video of Farm Frenzy was released. This gameplay video. There is only one island, and on the island, the player planted six fields, and built the "defense plants" from Plants vs. Zombies

After watching this gameplay video, players are already starting to get excited. In the past, it was only necessary to consider the time to plant and harvest vegetables, but now it is necessary to consider not only when to plant vegetables, but also what kind of crops to plant and harvest quickly. What kind of plants can be crafted for defense, and how to build defenses should be thought of.

After all, different "defense plants." Different crops must be planted to synthesize, and the same "defense plant" can be crafted from different types of crops, which undoubtedly makes the combination method ever-changing. In addition, the maturity time of crops is different, and how to plant the most crops at the most effective time to synthesize more "defense plants" will become the object of research for all players.

And those who have played "Plants vs. Zombies" know that each "defense plant" has a different function, and the power is also large and small, as well as "bullet" time. There are also times when it is fast and slow, so it is necessary to build a defensive front. Considering not only the layout of the formation, but also the power of money and plants, whether it can withstand the enemy's attacks from all directions, this "Farm Frenzy" is undoubtedly much more strategic, adding more fun to all players.

Of course. At the beginning of the game, there are only "six fields", and there are only six simple straight paths on the cliff, so it is relatively easy for players to defend. However, in the future, as more and more fields are cultivated, the player's farmland will be attacked from all directions, and the correct placement of "plants" will be more challenging for players.

After watching the first game video, many players have a question in their minds, this is just the player's own defensive position, so how do players steal vegetables? Is it still stealing vegetables like "Farm", and if so, what is the effect of this defensive measure?

A few days later. A second gameplay video comes out.

The second gameplay video is of a player making "zombies." It is then loaded onto a ship and transported from the sea to other players' islands. As a result, when they arrived at their destination, they unexpectedly noticed that there were other players around them, greeted each other, negotiated to wait for the crops to ripen, and then landed together to "grab vegetables." ”

After watching this video, the player shouted excitedly on the spot. Some of them were so excited that they even looked up to the sky and shouted "stealing vegetables". Although it is very exciting, the time is too short, and it is not that there is a host in "guarding the dishes." "It's that the master sleeps, you can steal as much as you want, and it's a little fun to start with, and it's boring for a long time. Now not only do I steal the food, but I also have other people stealing it together. And you can see who is stealing the food. It's a lot of fun in itself.

The biggest reason for the popularity of online games is the excitement and fun when there are many people playing together. Now it is undoubtedly very interesting to "steal vegetables" together. Think of when the crops are ripe. The scene of several players stealing vegetables together is so exciting that they almost want to play "Farm Madness" immediately, and the picture of several players pouring into the island at the same time must be spectacular.

Of course, due to the limitations of the game's setting, it is impossible for hundreds or thousands of players to steal food together. After all, it takes time to get from your own island to another player's island, and it's a "zombie." It is in need of food, and if the distance is too long, the "zombies" will starve to death. This setting is to limit the collective "stealing of vegetables" by large-scale players, which can prevent some players from being mistreated in the game because of offending people. Second, it can also limit the excessive burden on the server caused by large-scale food theft. After all, this is not the "Farm", and when it steals vegetables, it doesn't cause much burden on the system's servers. This is a real online game, if hundreds or thousands of gamers steal vegetables at the same time, and jointly dispatch the transported "zombies" to steal the vegetables, then the system burden will be no less than the "second shijie". The currently operating "Swordsman Love: The Spirit of Loyalty".

》。

Tencent currently has the highest number of users who have attracted B, and the number of online users is too strong, if these restrictions are not made, assuming that one-tenth of the 10,000 people in the red mouth steals a player's food at the same time, I am afraid that ten groups of computers will not be able to handle the "Farm Madness" itself, which is a casual and casual game that is to make money rather than lose money.

Now, this setting can not only meet the needs of players who can steal anyone's food, but also through various restrictions so that the game does not cause too much load on the system server, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

After watching the second video, players are already eagerly awaiting the third video. There is a video of planting vegetables in the front, and there is also a video of preparing to steal vegetables on the way, and the third paragraph is naturally a video of how to steal vegetables.

After a week of anticipation, the third video is finally available. At the first time, there were thousands of people who were persuaded to download the video, and after the time of the break, this data has reached 10,000 times, and the popularity of "Crazy Farm" is already a sure thing.

In the face of this situation, the CEOs of other game companies can only stare in vain. Although in the same way, they can also steal Lin Feng's idea. But there is a very important issue with the huge user base behind Farm Frenzing. At present, Chinese netizens can surf the Internet without watching news, watching movies, listening to songs, or playing games, even if they open the computer and connect to the Internet, and the person is not next to the computer, but one thing must be done, that is, turn it on, and chat with people. If the person is not there, hang up.

In this case, Tencent could hang "Farm" under the main window of the player a little. Then naturally, you can hang "Farm Frenzy" under the main window and ask about this situation. How they, the game companies, compete with Farm Frenzing.

Alas, forget it. It's not the first time, this damn Lin Feng doesn't know how many ideas he still has in his head. We don't care anymore! Many game company CEOs sang Yang Kun's "It Doesn't Matter" in unison.

In the third video, the player sends "zombies" to land after the other players are ripe. Unfold the game screen of the invasion by selecting the weak points of the opponent's defenses. As for the combat, it's the same as Plants vs. Zombies. However, the difference is the previous "Plants vs. Zombies". Players are challenging the computer difficulty, but now they are directly facing other players. It's also more exciting.

Watch the video on "Stealing vegetables." The "zombie ping" controlled by one side of the player continues to attack the stronghold of the "Shou Cai" player, and all the players who watched it were enthusiastic, especially when the video reached zuihou and other vegetable stealing players also came, the whole scene was even more hot, under the combination of the "zombies" of many "vegetable stealing" players, they finally succeeded in breaking through the defensive front of the "Shou Cai" player, and when they succeeded in stealing vegetables, all players burst into cheers.

However, at this time, all players also felt a new problem after successfully capturing the stronghold of the "Defender of the Vegetable Side". Although the player in the video breaks through the defenses of the "vegetable guard" player, it can be a hassle to get the stolen crops back to their island.

Each raft has a certain amount of storage space and can only hold a certain amount of crops. It is undoubtedly very painful to try to break through the defenses only to be unable to transport the "grabbed" crops back to the island. What's more, will we be able to grab enough crops to make up for the loss?

Apparently. This involves a strategic element: Is the effort proportional to the gain?

But no matter how many players will be worried about this problem, the popularity of "Farm Frenzy" is already destined to be released!
