Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 132: First experience of "Plants vs. Zombies"
Zhu Xiaoyu left.

With a satisfied smile and milk tea, he left lightly and quickly with a relaxed and happy pace.

Before getting in the car, he even turned around and waved kindly to Liu Wei on the second floor.

Liu Wei, who was watching through the glass on the second floor:...

Why do you suddenly feel like you've been cheated?

The process of the conversation between the two parties was smooth and harmonious.

Maybe it was because the two of them had eaten the same juicy chicken together.

Although Liu Wei spent the money, Zhu Xiaoyu's prostitution was in vain.

But no matter how you say it, the two of them can be regarded as men who are worthy of their reputation.

Xingyu Company is fully responsible for the overseas game release of Fumei Technology, providing one-stop service from translation to authorization letter.

The price Liu Wei needs to pay is exclusive authorization.

It's hard to say who loses and who gains.

Liu Wei does not need to invest too much energy overseas, he only needs to concentrate on making games.

Starfield Company does not interfere with Liu Wei's game. They are like the ubiquitous 'fair businessmen' in Western fantasy stories, providing convenience but also charging a favor fee, and everything is done according to the rules.

Originally this was supposed to be a matter of equality and mutual benefit for both parties.

But I don't know why...Liu Wei always feels like he's at a loss.

"Is it because no matter what conditions I put forward, the other party agreed without hesitation and there was no reason to bargain?"

"Hiss...it's obvious that what I raised is higher than expected. I've obviously made a profit. Why do I feel so unhappy?"

Liu Wei suddenly had an impulse to call Zhu Xiaoyu back, who had already got in the car and left, to have a good battle with him.

The result doesn’t matter, the main thing is that the process of bargaining is important!
……

Half a month later, "Plants vs. Zombies" was launched.

The price is 49 yuan.

The introduction is also very interesting:

"This is an easy game to relieve stress and is your best choice for spending time in your spare time."

However, when the game was first released, many people chose not to believe it.

"Produced by Liu Wei, easy to relieve stress, haha."

"Let me think about it, Guigu Bahuang, Red Police, Violent Motorcycle, Nianghua Three Kingdoms, Yu-Gi-Oh, which of these games has something to do with easy decompression?"

"Did Liu Wei put the wrong label?"

"Generally speaking, just listen to what Liu Wei says."

But there are also many people who believe everything Liu Wei says.

For example...Snow White.

As a reporter for the game section of Tianya.com, she is also a well-known game anchor on the live broadcast platform.

According to her, doing live broadcasts is purely out of interest and has nothing to do with money.

Therefore, Bai Xue has never been indifferent to her attitude towards the audience in the live broadcast room.

But don't mention it, with her excellent face and unique live broadcast style, Bai Xue is like a duck in water among the Hex beauty anchors who are "big brother, short brother".

"Let's not play group games until ten o'clock. Let's play "Plants vs. Zombies" live for everyone."

Bai Xue, who was playing a group game on the live broadcast, suddenly spoke with a very firm attitude.

On the screen, she plays a nanny profession, and has been sprayed by the group leader so that she can't speak.

At this time, several barrages passed by:

"No, I haven't gotten in the car yet. I've been waiting for three days."

"Don't need new games, don't need new games, there are more program effects in group play."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, Bai Xue's skills are too good. He can play any game." Bai Xue glanced at the barrage, ignored the second one, muted the third one, and answered the first one:
"You've been waiting for three days anyway, it doesn't matter if you wait a few more days."

There is no intention of getting used to it.

If the anchors of other live broadcast rooms said this, I'm afraid they would have to start a rhythm, but this is Bai Xue's live broadcast room.

Everyone will just say: "It's so right, so right, this is what it tastes like."

"Ah, look at me with such disdain, just look at me with this look and tone."

"Mom scolded me!"

Bai Xue ignored all of this.

It's not that she hasn't resisted, but all she got was more barrages and gifts.

Sometimes, she wonders if all men are so mean... Mr. Liu is better, he speaks the truth, has a strong sense of responsibility, has a strong attitude, and gives people a sufficient sense of security.

When ten o'clock arrived, Bai Xue clicked directly on a small white flower on the screen.

The screen went black, and Fumei Technology's logo flashed past.

Accompanied by the background music of 'ding ding ding ding, thump thump, thump thump', the game loading screen also appeared.

On the left side, under the clear sky, a classic Western courtyard with white bricks and red tiles and a swimming pool comes into view. In the courtyard are various strange-shaped plants. Look to the right eagerly.

On the right side, the sky is filled with dark clouds and black air. The broken road is densely packed with zombies. There are even zombies approaching over the destroyed fence.

It is clearly a very scary scene, but under the cartoon style rendering, the scary atmosphere is weakened, and instead it has a funny and cute feeling.

"Haha, these zombies are quite cute." Bai Xue said with a smile.

When she first saw the name, she thought it was a horror-oriented game, but she didn't expect to see ugly and cute zombies and fascinated smiling plants.

When the loading interface is completed, a UI screen appears.

On the left is an ancient tree with a name tag symbolizing the user's name hanging on it. On the right is a tombstone with four columns. Except for the first column where 'story mode' can be seen, the other three columns are not unlocked. .

There are three water bottles with white flowers under the tombstone, saying 'option', 'acknowledgment' and 'exit game' respectively.

After Bai Xue studied it for a while, he clicked 'Story Mode'.

Who would have thought that as soon as the mouse was clicked, a low roar of laughter could be heard, as if coming from the coffin, and then a withered arm suddenly stretched out from the side of the tombstone.

"what!"

Bai Xue was shocked and kept rubbing her chest to comfort her.

Entering the game, you will see a muddy backyard.

While still confused, a strange man with an iron pot on his head, a yellow beard, big eyes and a wine nose appeared.

"Wobbi Bab?"

The strange man spoke Babu language that Bai Xue couldn't understand at all. Fortunately, Bai Xue could understand it with a systematic translator.

"Is this the old man who guides newbies? Why does it look so strange?"

Following 'Waibibab' and 'Waibibab', Bai Xue also learned that the man in front of him was his neighbor, named 'Crazy Dave', and he was a 'genius inventor'.

"What genius looks like this?" Bai Xue couldn't help complaining.

But 'Waibi Babu' still diligently provided guidance to Bai Xue.

A row of lawn slowly spread out, occupying one-fifth of the entire courtyard. Waibibabu gave Bai Xue a peashooter.

Following the guidance, Bai Xue planted the first pea.

The small eyes and long mouth sway back and forth to the rhythm of the music, making it look cute and cute.

At this time, a sunbeam fell from the sky, and the white snow gently harvested 25% of the sun.

Suddenly, a low and hoarse roar sounded out of thin air, startling Bai Xue again.

In Bai Xue's nervous gaze,...a zombie with big and small eyes, a broken arm, a limp and tattered eyes, limped over from the right side of the screen?
Bai Xue:? ? ?
I've been nervous for a long time, but this is the result?
