Live Action Opens Up and Gets Blocked, Backhandedly Rectifying the Gaming Industry

Through the initiative of signing in to get free games and the breaking of the circle in Plants vs. Zombies, the mission completion rate has reached 30%, and there is still room for growth.

The sales of the Biochemical series are still growing slowly. Since Biochemical 3 is given as a gift, the sales volume can only rely on Biochemical 2 for the time being. The current cumulative sales have reached 4.5 million copies, and there is still a long way to go before the task is completed.

Both system tasks are progressing in an orderly manner.

Although there are still not many people chatting in the community forums related to Plants vs. Zombies, there are more hardcore posts visible to the naked eye.

For example, self-made difficult levels, modified zombie and plant MODs, etc.

There are also some players who specialize in endless mode and are studying various plant formations.

How to place the corn cannon, how many doors to place, where to place the ice watermelon, and where to place the melancholy mushroom.

There are a lot of people checking guides, and a lot of people writing guides, but no one talks about it.

There are also many magical modified versions of MODs that have appeared, such as Ultraman vs. Zombies, Calabash vs. Zombies, etc.

The most popular among them is the Great Spraying Mushroom Cult Forum.

The forum that was originally started with the purpose of creating a community has now become the base for Plants vs. Zombies fan creation.

The categories cover multiple categories, and each plant even has related sub-sections for people to find their favorite plant fans.

Among them, the Destruction Mushroom, which is all black and has a fierce expression, the Charm Mushroom, which is mainly white and cute, the Sunflower with a nice smile, the Melancholy Mushroom with eight nozzles, the most classic Big Spraying Mushroom, etc. are all popular characters. .

In more than a month, Plants vs. Zombies has entered countless computers, mobile phones, and console devices.

Some are working professionals who play a few games in their spare time.

Some girls like this kind of non-competitive game.

Some are middle-aged people who use them as tools to pass the time when they are idle at home.

Some are children and have become ardent fans of this game.

Although word of mouth will make the product take off slowly, it will still be as delicious and fresh as a soup that has been simmered for a long time.

Now whenever we talk about Plants vs. Zombies, even people who have never played it will say it’s fun.

Why? Because that’s what everyone around me is saying.

Naughty Cat and the origin platform tied to the IP of Plants vs. Zombies have also become the center of discussion, especially among children.

At this time, an article in a certain game media became a topic of conversation for many people.

"Layout Ten Years Later - Cat Box War, Do you really understand the game of platform and channel competition?" 》

From the point of view of the article, Plants vs. Zombies has become the first choice game for many parents to play for their children. It is also a game that many children like to chat with and recommend to each other.

This is their introduction to the game.

The development cycle of a AAA game is very long, usually three or four years.

It takes two to three game development cycles for a child to grow into a backbone of game consumption.

At that time, a game box with no concept will become the origin platform that has been producing high-quality games since I was a child.

How to choose? It couldn't be simpler.

Even if the game box can still prevail now, the winner of the channel platform war will sooner or later be Naughty Cat.

There are different opinions on this article, and everyone holds their own opinions.

"Mr. Lin, tell me the truth, have you ever had this idea?"

Gu Ranmin handed over the phone.

Zuo Xuming was also there, waiting expectantly for the answer.

He briefly browsed the article, then handed the phone back, and said: "It's a bit over-interpreted. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? But there is a sentence in the article that is right. If you want to win this battle, you simply have to It’s our ability to continue to produce high-quality games.”

"Really?" Gu Ranmin took the phone, looked at it suspiciously, and then at Lin Mo, "Why do I think Mr. Lin has other purposes?"

"Other purposes? Yes." Lin Mo joked jokingly, "To sell toys, children are a very attractive consumer group, toys, picture books, peripherals, plush toys, it's all money. "

However, after saying this casually, the two people nodded thoughtfully, with an "I understand" expression in their eyes.

"I understand Mr. Lin, it turns out that there is still this consideration. Let me tell you why it was designed this way in the first place."

“It turns out that this style of painting is used to personify plants because of this consideration.”

Gu Ranmin and Zuo Xuming walked out thoughtfully.

Lin Mo looked left and right, feeling a little speechless.

No way, do you believe this?

How could I, a game maker, consider so much?

However, Plants vs. Zombies’ various peripherals, picture books, toys, etc. in its previous life were indeed quite profitable.

Although the quality of various types of cultural and entertainment products in this world is terrible, copyright protection is really good.

In major countries and regions around the world, there is no such thing as piracy or infringement, but those who dare to do so take great risks and can easily be sanctioned by the Iron Fist.

If someone is willing to cooperate in IP development and launch other products in this series, Lin Mo wouldn't mind.

But forget it in person.

I have been busy all afternoon, and when I occasionally go out to get coffee, I can still see Zuo Xuming and Gu Ranmin chattering about something they are studying.

Don't let these two kids learn to be useless.

As a result, not long after returning to the office with coffee in hand, the two men followed.

Gu Ranmin's eyes were evasive and a little embarrassed.

Zuo Xuming looked full of admiration.

"Mr. Lin, your strategy is on the right track!"

strategy?

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was talking about developing peripherals as a joke.

Are there actually businesses coming to cooperate?

This is a good thing.

"Is someone looking for cooperation to jointly develop peripheral products for Plants vs. Zombies? Is it stationery or plush toys?"

Gu Ranmin became even more embarrassed when he asked this question.

"neither."

"Is that a figure? A drawing book?"

"No."

"Animation? Movie? No way?"

"Not yet."

Now it was Lin Mo's turn to wonder, what else could it be? Could it be a theme park?

The current Plants vs. Zombies series doesn’t have that energy.

Zuo Xuming said with admiration: "Mr. Lin, this is Station P."

"P station?" Lin Mo looked confused, "What P station?"

"It's the P site for adult movies."

Gu Ranmin lowered his head when Zuo Xuming said a word, his expression completely invisible.

"Wait, what is this?" Lin Mo was stunned for a while, "They are looking for us? Business cooperation? Is there anything we can cooperate with? What is this cooperation?"

Collaborate to set up a game company, take the best of both worlds, and then make something like Fallen Doll, Magic Mirror, Chocolate and Vanilla?

"Mr. Lin, the Plants vs. Zombies fandom has become popular all over the Internet! Some popular plants have long been on the popular search list of P station." Zuo Xuming said with admiration, "Among them are the big spray mushroom and the destruction mushroom. , charm mushrooms, and sunflowers are the most popular.”

Lin Mo's head was full of black threads. Although he had already guessed it, he still asked: "So what is the content of the cooperation?"

"Station P asked us to authorize us to develop a series of adult movies about Plants vs. Zombies!" Zuo Xuming couldn't help but admire, "Is this what you expected? Mr. Lin really has a plan."

Lin Mo resisted the urge to curse and said through gritted teeth: "Reply the letter and sternly refuse! This kind of cooperation is impossible to death!"

"Mr. Lin, you really don't want to think about it?"

"Not consider!"
