Chapter 166: Tower Defense Games
Plant.
Corpse.
Unexpectedly, this game is an excellent link between plants and zombies.
Especially for the setting of plants as well as zombies. Not only did he take care of the plants and characteristics, but he also exerted his greater imagination. Just like a cherry, it felt a lot like a bomb, so he set up a cherry bomb and turned it into a more powerful attack weapon. It's like a nut, which looks very hard, so it becomes a defensive prop to block the zombies in front of you.
Similarly, in the zombie area, it is also very creative.
Look at his name, newspaper reading zombie, dancing king zombie, pole zombie......
Do you feel very interested in such zombies? Presumably, as soon as such a zombie comes out, although he is not the same as a traditional zombie. Whether it's the West or the East, he has some differences. However, even everyone in the world, when they see such zombies, they know that these are some of the more innovative zombies. Moreover, you will find such zombies very interesting.
This game?
Luo Aoting was deeply shocked by the innovation of this game.
At present, there are all kinds of games in the video game market. There are turn-based games, RPG role-playing 2D games, tower defense games, board games, and mini-games. But he had never seen a game like Plants vs. Zombies genre.
It looks like a mini-game, but it has a lot more to play than a mini-game. He looks like a board game, but he's more fun than a board game...... I really don't know how to divide such an innovative game.
"How does it feel?"
Looking at Luo Aoting's surprised eyes, Zhang Ning knew that this game had successfully attracted him.
Yes, there is absolutely nothing to say about the innovation of Plants vs. Zombies.
Not to mention the present, even in the future, many people are attracted by his excellent innovation.
"It feels good, and I think it's a great game."
At this time, Luo Aoting had completely forgotten his previous legend of the Three Kingdoms.
In front of this Plants vs. Zombies, no matter how powerful the Legend of the Three Kingdoms is, it is just a simple game.
And Plants vs. Zombies, although it looks simple, however, he is even more fun. And, Plants vs. Zombies is not as simple as it seems. He's just simple to operate, in fact, to say that it's difficult, in the future, as long as they increase the difficulty of the level when designing, for example, there are more powerful zombies. Then, the choice of plants and where to place them to attack are a very strategic and intelligent thing.
"It's just that I don't know what type of game this game is."
"If anything, he's a tower defense game."
"Tower defense games?"
"Yes."
"Probably not."
In Luo Aoting's thinking, how can a tower defense game be like this?
"Why not, isn't he a tower defense game if he doesn't have a tower? Or, he is not like Warcraft, he has no various characters, no NPCs, no equipment, no blood bars and the like, he is not a tower defense? However, if I want to say, our plants are the characters we can operate, our plants are also our offensive skills, our plants are our defense forces, and the zombies that attack us are the NPCs in traditional tower defense games. Of course, the most important thing is the home behind our plants, which is the place we want to protect. Therefore, Plants vs. Zombies, he is actually also a tower defense game. It's just that he expressed Xiàn in another way. ”
Zhang Ning talked eloquently.
In fact, in later generations, there are many tower defense games like Plants vs. Zombies.
It's just that at that time, people had a complete understanding of such games.
But at this moment, because it was the first contact, because of the difference between Plants vs. Zombies, it just confused others.
It's just that Zhang Ning said it easily, but the more Luo Aoting listened, the more shocked he felt.
In particular, Zhang Ning's comparison of Plants vs. Zombies with traditional tower defense games made Luo Aoting feel like he was in the clouds. It turns out that the traditional tower defense game, under the innovation of Zhang Ning, has become another kind of tower defense. Although this doesn't look like a tower defense game, it has inherited the essence of tower defense games and turned into a completely different game that looks more fun and simpler.
Of course, the most powerful thing is the tower defense setup of Plants vs. Zombies.
It can be said that he has broken the tower defense system established by Warcraft.
Since Blizzard launched "Warcraft 2", Warcraft has indeed established its position as the hegemon of tower defense games. At the same time, Warcraft tower defense games have also become the standard for all tower defense games around the world. This is also the point that after Warcraft 2, although there are countless tower defense games out, none of them can escape the Warcraft tower defense system.
However, with the advent of Plants vs. Zombies, he has broken the tower defense system of Warcraft.
He has built his own tower defense system, and he will no longer restrict others from innovating with this system. Because, after seeing Plants vs. Zombies, Luo Aoting has already thought that in fact, he can also make some other innovative tower defense games under the setting of Plants vs. Zombies. Although this innovation is not necessarily comparable to Plants vs. Zombies, this innovative tower defense game concept of Plants vs. Zombies has deeply changed Luo Aoting's thinking.
"Mr. Zhang, I understand."
There was some excitement in Roatin.
At this time, his vision of Zhang Ning became a little different.
This difference is more appreciative than the original.
No, not appreciation, but admiration.
Because, this has gone beyond the Cheng dù that Luo Aoting admired, and reached the realm of Luo Aoting's admiration.
At the same time, Luo Aoting can be regarded as really understanding.
Why domestic games have not been able to go abroad for a long time, in addition to the risk of the international market is too great, the game production technology of most domestic game manufacturers is indeed very average. This kind of general is not a hard technology such as software development, but a soft technology about the entire game plot, game setting, and gameplay setting.
However, for a long time, most of the games of domestic game manufacturers have copied them.
Although, strictly speaking, this is not copying.
Because I didn't copy the plot, and I didn't copy the game code, this is not a copy.
However, if everyone has been developing games according to the settings of European and American game manufacturers.
Just like tower defense games, everyone has been using the Warcraft tower defense setting, and no matter how much you develop, you can't compare to them.
The same is true not only for tower defense games, but also for other video games. Just like many RPG role-playing games, and like one of the more popular online games in China, he actually copied a lot of Diablo's gameplay settings.
"It's good to understand, then I'll postpone the development of Heroes of the Three Kingdoms 3 for the time being, Mr. Luo, you don't have any opinions."
Heroes of the Three Kingdoms 3 Zhang Ning has played, and it feels good.
However, no matter how good the Legend of the Three Kingdoms is, only a small number of Chinese people will like it.
Moreover, the development of the Legend of the Three Kingdoms does not necessarily sell well, a pirated version is enough for Zhang Ning to drink a pot.
It is precisely because of so many considerations that Zhang Ning will deny the Legend of the Three Kingdoms 3.
Of course, this negation is not that it cannot be developed, but that it will be developed when there is time.
"No opinion, no opinion. Mr. Zhang, even if you don't say it, I will postpone the development of the Legend of the Three Kingdoms. ”
Although the Legend of the Three Kingdoms is a representative work of Aotin Technology, Luo Aotin has deep feelings. However, with the excellence of Plants vs. Zombies and the innovation of Plants vs. Zombies, he can completely compare Heroes of the Three Kingdoms 3. Moreover, seeing this game, Luo Aoting already has some expectations in his heart.
Perhaps, the emergence of Plants vs. Zombies, 1 billion profits, is not impossible.
……
"Brother Mingyu, I'm sorry, I apologize to you for what happened before."
Luo Aoting called Yan Da's Chi Mingyu.
A few days ago, that is, when Aoting had not yet been acquired by Zhang Ning, Luo Aoting once called and scolded Chi Mingyu because Zhang Ning was too arrogant. What to say, this is the genius you introduced, I was tricked by him. However, in the past few days, when Zhang Ningyue published his genius, Luo Aoting already felt ashamed.
Whether it is Zhang Ning's vision, Zhang Ning's technology, or Zhang Ning's understanding of the game.
These things, Luo Aoting asked himself, he was far beyond himself.
It's no wonder that such a genius, just 20 years old, has already founded Penguin Technology.
And, now Penguin is the largest instant messaging in China.
Not one of them.
"Apologize, what apology?"
Chi Mingyu didn't know what Luo Aoting was talking about, which also made Luo Aoting ashamed.
"It seems that Brother Mingyu, not only am I not as good as Zhang Ning's genius, but I am not as good as Brother Mingyu's bearing."
After an explanation, Chi Mingyu understood what Luo Aoting was talking about.
"Brother Aoting, I thought what you were talking about, I forgot about this little thing. However, you said that Zhang Ning was a genius, and I told you this a long time ago. You know, I'm a good-natured man, but I'm also very gentle. However, there are very few people I admire. And Zhang Ning is one of them. ”
"I know, I know, brother, do you know, how many times has Mr. Zhang shocked me in the past few days, I have to thank you."
Previously, Luo Aoting always thought that he knew the game very well. However, when he heard Zhang Ning's innovative explanation of tower defense games, he realized that he was just a primary school student in front of Zhang Ning. At the same time, he was even more glad. He was glad that he had met Zhang Ning, and that Zhang Ning had acquired their game company.
Therefore, this time on the phone, Luo Aoting wanted to say thank you to Chi Mingyu in person.
"Thank me for what?"
Chi Mingyu didn't know how Luo Aoting was talking nonsense again.
"Thank you for recommending Zhang Ning to me, thank you, thank you very much."
These are the inner words of Luo Aotin.
