Penguin Games, Meeting Room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Zhijun is the protagonist with a serious expression in this meeting, which will determine the future of the company.

Just now they received a decision from the head office to let them abandon the game "Legend of Blood".

Now the bloody legend, every day is losing money, it has been so long and there are still some plug-ins that are difficult to eradicate, those plug-in makers seem to be tired of it, just sealed one of their plug-ins, and a new plug-in was born in a few days.

The loss of hot-blooded legendary players is serious, and only one-fifth of the players who are left before the start of the plug-in still need to continue to stay in this game, but the plug-in is prevalent, and the things in the game store can't be sold at all, and they are losing money every day.

These remaining players are basically a group of players who use cheats, and "Legend of Blood" has even been ridiculed as a "plug-in mecca".

So Penguin had no choice but to let it close the game, and instead of continuing to lose money, it was better to choose another way out.

"Just now, the head office has made it very clear that let's shut down the server of this game, either develop the game ourselves, or go to other places to buy another one. ”

Wang Zhijun sighed.

"Mr. Wang, is there really no room for maneuver?" a senior executive of Penguin Games obviously couldn't accept this fact.

I remember that a few months ago, they were extremely beautiful, but I didn't expect that now, they are about to fall into the situation of being forced to shut down the game server.

"The company plans for us to imitate Aurora and build a penguin game hall first, and then acquire an online mini-game site called KK99 to move all its games to the penguin game hall. With Penguin's huge user base, it has at least made a comeback," Wang Zhijun conveyed the order from the headquarters to everyone in the company, wanting to see how they reacted.

"Making small games? I'm afraid this has no future, right? We used to make large-scale online games, and now we are actually doing those small games with average production level and difficult to make profits?"

Another executive, who is quite masculine, said.

"It can't be said that "Happy Farm" and "Grab a Parking Space" include those current browser games, aren't there also many players playing? And "Happy Farm" and "Grab a Parking Space", two ordinary games, are particularly popular. Another Mediterranean executive retorted.

"How to imitate? Now that the state is so strict with copyright management, if you are not careful, you may be sued by Aurora Games. ”

The male executive just now obviously asked unconvinced.

Seeing that this scene was full of gunpowder, Wang Zhijun immediately interrupted: "Have you made enough trouble? Now we are in a meeting to talk about the decision of the head office, not the vegetable market for you to quarrel with, you have to quarrel outside!"

"The head office meant that we would take Happy Farm and Plants vs. Zombies and combine them to create a new game, and we could make a game of our own by changing the background and setting a little bit. What's more, it can also rub their heat."

Happy Farm and Plants vs. Zombies?

Everyone at Penguin Games thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of a reason.

"The Farm" is very simple, planting vegetables, harvesting vegetables, stealing vegetables. "Plants vs. Zombies" uses a variety of plants to defend against zombies and defend their homes, and the two games are completely different types and how to combine them.

"I know that many people still have a lot of questions in their minds, and they just want to say that this is plagiarism? Whether there is plagiarism or not we know ourselves, but we just need to do it so that others have nothing to say. Wang Zhijun himself lamented that the head office was like a crazy and even image-damaging decision.

As a large game company, everyone here is not a person with little knowledge.

Of course, competitors' games are involved, after all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

There are even a few loyal fans of "Happy Farm" among them, who secretly play in private every day, and remember when to collect or steal vegetables more clearly than scheduled.

"Happy Farm" will not be out of fashion for the time being, and "Plants vs. Zombies" is also a popular stand-alone game now, and was even listed as one of the top ten stand-alone games of the year.

In fact, even Ye Le himself knows very well that these two games will withdraw from the game market after a year or two at most, or they will not be known to everyone.

In the early days of the two games, because people's curiosity was particularly strong and people liked to follow the trend, thinking that games with many people must be interesting, so they were particularly popular, but after playing for a while, they became boring.

"Happy Farm" is too monotonous, endlessly collecting and stealing vegetables, gradually everyone will feel tired, and the pleasure of the past will gradually fade away, making people no longer able to cheer up and continue to play.

Plants vs. Zombies is indeed a fairly classic single-player game, and almost every player goes crazy about it at first.

It's all about unlocking new plants and how to beat them, but when a player clears a level, he tries other modes.

But after I've played other modes and the novelty is gone, how can I continue to play?

But at least for now and for the next year, both games will still be able to shine.

Indeed, many players have found some similarities between Happy Farm and Plants vs. Zombies, and even often fantasize about whether the two games can be combined, which will undoubtedly make the game much more interesting.

But everyone knew it was a difficult challenge.

However, there are still many cattle among the penguins, and they have the idea of selling crops to get gold.

Gold coins can be used to buy magical plants similar to those in Plants vs. Zombies, and then arm them to prevent other friends from stealing vegetables.

Other friends who want to steal the food must control various monsters (similar to zombies) to break through this defense and steal the food.

This increases the playability of the game, and when the player defeats a friend or prevents a friend from harvesting more crops, a sense of accomplishment is sure to arise.

In order to avoid suspicion, it is definitely not possible to directly appropriate the plants and game maps (scenes) that appear in Happy Farm and Plants vs. Zombies.

It had to be revised.

The game must also support recharge, otherwise it is difficult to achieve the effect of profit.

The game points obtained by recharging can be used to buy pesticides, fertilizers, etc., which can help players obtain ripe fruits faster and more efficiently, and then exchange them for gold.

The first setting of gold coins is to defend your own farm, and the second is to upgrade the player's monster army to ensure that you can break through your friend's defenses and steal his vegetables.
