Chapter 580

Ma Huateng looked at the words clearly marked with "bold" on the display screen and was puzzled.

QQ farm + plants vs zombies. What's the game? Ma Huateng thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason《 QQ farm is very simple, planting vegetables, collecting vegetables, stealing vegetables《 Plants vs. Zombies is the use of a variety of plants to resist zombies and defend their homes. The two games are totally different types. How can they be integrated?

Ma Huateng thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason. He didn't bother to wait for Lin Feng to explain.

Lin Feng smiles. Before his rebirth, he played QQ farm, and he was crazy. He remembered to keep vegetables and steal vegetables every day, but after playing for a period of time, he became bored. Lin Feng often sighed that QQ farm was too monotonous, and the pleasure of keeping vegetables and stealing vegetables was easy to fade, which made him unable to play for a long time. Later, I played "Plants vs. Zombies". At first, I was crazy, but later, I always challenged "infinite mode", which was boring after a long time.

After tired of these two relaxed and leisure games, Lin Feng often fantasizes whether the two games can be combined, so that the fun of the game will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced, such as using the money from growing vegetables to cultivate plants, guard the farm, protect the home, and prevent others from stealing vegetables. But there is also a problem. How can others steal? How to steal? This question puzzled Lin Feng all the time. Just now, when he saw the children at the next table playing "Plants vs. Zombies" in the dining room and saw the porridge in his hand, Lin Feng suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Ma Dong, my idea is like this..." Lin Feng tells us his idea.

Lin Feng conceives that all players have a small island at the beginning. There are only six fields on the island. Players can rely on these six fields to grow crops. Like QQ farm, they can grow radish, cabbage, apple and so on. The crops they grow can be sold to the system for money. This part is the same as QQ farm. The difference is that the mode of "Plants vs. Zombies" is introduced later.

Players want their hard-working vegetables not to be stolen. In "QQ farm", they have to "guard vegetables", and they have to move fast to avoid being "stolen vegetables". However, in the game conceived by Lin Feng, players who want to "guard vegetables" must synthesize "defense plants" by planting crops, and then use "defense plants" to build a defense system to resist other players' "stealing vegetables"“ 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", plants that can throw watermelons and so on.

Of course, after planting vegetables and keeping them, the most important and exciting thing is stealing vegetables. Stealing vegetables, on the other hand, takes a brand new mode. Since each player is on an island, if he wants to steal vegetables, he must first buy a raft from the system, and then buy the "zombie" who steals vegetables. Use the raft to row to the island of the person who wants to steal vegetables, put down the "zombie" and command him to steal vegetables. Of course, to buy "zombies", not only does it cost money, but also to feed "zombies", we must supply them with "food" every day. If "zombies" have no food, they will attack their own farmland to get food.

Ma Huateng's eyes brightened.

"Ma Dong, this game, which I temporarily named" crazy farm ", has three selling points. First, it combines the advantages of "QQ farm" and "plants vs zombies", and "defensive plants" can only be synthesized by planting plants, which makes the game more interesting and playable; 2、 Since each player has an independent island at the beginning, if he wants to steal other people's food, he must calculate the time on the way. If he arrives too early, he must wait. If he arrives too late, he may be acquired. At the same time, he must worry about whether other people will come to attack his farm. Moreover, players also need to calculate whether their zombies can break through the defense of the other side, which increases the strategic value of the game; 3、 Because all players are in the vast sea, and all players are in the same big map, players can build guilds, trade with each other, steal vegetables or defend Lin Feng explained excitedly.

Let the players plant vegetables on the island and build defense measures, which not only increases the fun of the game, but also makes the game more playable. Especially, this time, stealing vegetables is no longer the behavior of not seeing the players steal vegetables, but can see the boat of "stealing vegetables" players, which is more exciting. When you think about it, if more than a dozen players are rowing boats at the same time, carrying "zombies" who come to steal vegetables, waiting for the moment when the crops are ripe to "land in Normandy", the scene will be quite spectacular.

The charm of online games lies in the combination and confrontation between players, and "crazy farm" has the biggest characteristics of online games, which solves the previous "QQ farm" and "plants vs zombies" in the lack of interaction between players.

Later, Lin Feng and Ma Huateng had a detailed discussion on "crazy farm", and called Wu Zhaopu and others to work out all kinds of rules and regulations one by one and divide the rights and interests.

"Crazy farm" is developed by "second world" and owns the ownership of the game, while Tencent is responsible for the operation, and "second world" and "Tencent Holdings" share 50% of the profits.

When Wu Zhaopu and others learned about the idea of "crazy farm", they were amazed and didn't know how to describe it. This "crazy farm" has been confirmed by Cui Mingze, Qiu Xin and others. It is very difficult to develop the whole game. Because all the data are ready-made, it can be developed in more than a month. However, although the game is extremely simple, it is highly playable. It not only integrates the advantages of the two games, but also solves the biggest disadvantages of the two games. If it goes on the market, it will cause a sensation again. What's more, with Tencent's current status in China, "crazy farm" is hard to imagine.

For Lin Feng, who conceived and designed "crazy farm", Wu Zhaopu and others admired Lin Feng. They, the chairman of the board of directors, don't know what to do. There are always fantastic ideas, but they are always so amazing.

Maybe he's Einstein in the game world—— They surmised.

Then, when Tencent and "the second world" jointly held a press conference to announce the news of jointly developing "crazy farm", the domestic players were boiling.

If we say that the game with the largest number of online players in the world today is definitely not "Romance full house of jinwutuan", which broke through the highest number of online players of 5.01 million, or "legend", which just broke through 100 million registered players. At present, the game with the largest number of players in the world is absolutely not Tencent's "QQ farm", whether it's white-collar workers in the office or blue collar workers in the factory, Or government officials, or school students, on the "QQ farm" can be described as aspiring to play not too happy. According to incomplete statistics, the number of players playing "QQ farm" is no less than 200 million nationwide.

A game has 200 million people playing, which is enough to make all game companies envious. In particular, this game is so simple, not only has no gorgeous picture, but also has no plot, that is, simply planting vegetables and stealing vegetables can attract hundreds of millions of people to play the game. All game critics are stunned and speechless. Many foreign game companies also plagiarized the idea of "QQ farm" and launched it after a little modification, which also gained a lot of popularity and support from players. It can be said that it is the most popular game after "Tetris" and "Minesweeper".

However, after playing "QQ farm" in China for more than a year, people's enthusiasm has gradually faded. At this time, Tencent and "the second world" announced the development of a new "crazy farm", which combines today's most popular web game "QQ farm" and once popular "plants vs Zombies". Just this gimmick evokes everyone's imagination. After all, "QQ farm" we are still playing, and "plants vs zombies" is once a good memory.

However, "QQ farm" and "Plants vs. Zombies" how to integrate, is what kind of a game? All Tencent users are looking forward to it.

For many people, they don't like the PK game like legend, the fierce battle game like anti terrorist elite, and the turn based game like magic baby. They just want to play simple and easy web games. QQ farm and plants vs zombies meet their requirements very well. They can play if they want to and put aside if they don't want to, Don't worry too much.

Among all the players waiting, a week later, the first video of "crazy farm" came out. In this game video, there is only one island. Players on the island planted six fields, and the "defense plants" in "Plants vs. Zombies" were built around the fields.

After watching this game video, the players are already excited. In the past, we only considered the time for planting and harvesting vegetables. Now we not only need to consider when to plant vegetables, what kind of crops to grow, what kind of plants to synthesize for defense, but also how to build defense measures.

After all, different "defense plants" must be planted with different crops for synthesis, and the same "defense plant" can be synthesized by different kinds of crops. Such a setting undoubtedly makes the combination way ever-changing. In addition, crops mature at different times and at different prices. How to plant the most crops at the most effective time and synthesize more "defense plants" will become the research object of all players.

Moreover, those who have played "plants vs zombies" all know that each "defense plant" has different functions. Its power varies from big to small. It also has "bullet" time, and it also has speed and slowness. Therefore, when building a defense front, we should consider not only the layout of the formation, but also the size of money and plant power, and whether it can resist the attack of the enemy in all directions, There is no doubt that this "crazy farm" strategy greatly increased to all players to add more fun.

Of course, at the beginning of the game, there are only "six fields". On the cliff, there are only six simple straight roads, so it's easier for players to defend. However, in the future, as the player reclaims more and more fields, the player's fields will be attacked from all directions. At that time, the correct placement of "plants" will test the player even more.

After watching the first video of the game, many players have a question in their hearts. It's just the player's own defensive position, so how do players steal vegetables? Is it still like "QQ farm" to steal vegetables, if so, what role does this defensive measures play?

A few days later, the second game video came out.

The second game video shows a player making "zombies" and then loading them on a ship to transport them from the sea to other players' islands. As a result, when they arrived at their destination, they unexpectedly found that there were other players around. After greeting each other, they negotiated to wait for the crops to mature, and then they landed together to "grab vegetables".

After watching this video, all the players yelled excitedly on the spot, some even roared up to the sky. In the past, although it was very exciting to "steal vegetables", the time was too short. Either the host was "guarding vegetables", or the host was sleeping. You could steal whatever you wanted. It was a little fun at first, and boring after a long time. Now, not only do you steal vegetables by yourself, but also other people steal vegetables together, and you can see who steal vegetables, which is full of fun in itself.

The most important reason for the popularity of online games is that there are so many people. When we play together, it's lively and interesting. It's no doubt a very interesting thing to steal vegetables together. When you think of the scene of dozens of players stealing vegetables together when the crops are mature, many players are excited and almost want to play "crazy farm" immediately. The picture of dozens of players flocking to Shanghai Island at the same time must be very spectacular.

Of course, due to the limitations of the game, it is impossible for hundreds of players to steal vegetables together. After all, it takes time to travel from your own island to other players' island, and Zombies need food. If the distance is too long, zombies will starve to death. This kind of setting is to limit the large-scale players' collective "stealing vegetables", which can prevent some players from being harmed in the game because of offending others. Second, it can limit the heavy burden of large-scale stealing vegetables on the server. After all, this is not "QQ farm", the burden of stealing vegetables on the server of the system is not big. This is a real online game. If hundreds of game players steal vegetables at the same time and send "zombies" to steal vegetables together, the system burden will be no less than that of "devotion to the country" currently operated by "second world".

Tencent currently has more than 200 million QQ users, with the highest number of online users exceeding 30 million. Without these restrictions, assuming that one tenth of the 30 million people steal a player's food at the same time, I'm afraid that ten groups of supercomputers will not be able to load《 "Crazy farm" itself is a relaxed and leisure game, which aims to make money rather than lose money. Now this kind of setting can not only satisfy the desire of players to steal anyone's food, but also through various restrictions, so as not to make the game cause too much load on the system server, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

After watching the second video, players have been extremely eager to look forward to the third video. There is a video of growing vegetables in front, and there is also a video of preparing to steal vegetables on the way. Naturally, the third video is about how to steal vegetables.

A week later, the third video was finally on the market. At the first time, more than 3 million people downloaded the video. 24 hours later, the number has reached 20 million times. The popularity of "crazy farm" is certain.

In the face of this situation, other game company boss in addition to dry stare, also can only call helpless. Although they can also plagiarize Lin Feng's idea, a very important problem is that there is a huge QQ user base behind "crazy farm". At present, Chinese netizens can surf the Internet without watching news, watching movies, listening to songs or playing games. Even if they turn on the computer and connect to the Internet, people are not near the computer. But one thing they will do is to turn on QQ, chat when people are there, hang up when people are not.

In this case, Tencent can hang "QQ farm" under the main window of QQ before, and the player can do it a little bit. So naturally, "crazy farm" can also be hung in the main window. In this case, how can these game companies compete with "crazy farm".

Oh, forget it. It's not the first time. I don't know how many ideas there are in Lin Feng's brain. We don't care anymore—— Many game company managers sing Yang Kun's "it doesn't matter.".

The third video shows players sending "zombies" to land one after another after discovering that other players are mature, and launching the invasion by selecting the weak points of each other's defense. As for fighting, it's the same as "plants vs zombies.". But the difference is that before the "Plants vs. Zombies", players were challenging the computer difficulty, but now they are directly fighting with other players, which is more exciting.

Watching the "zombies" controlled by the "vegetable stealing" players in the video constantly attack the "vegetable guarding" players' strongholds, all the players are excited. Especially when other vegetable stealing players come to the end of the video, the whole scene is even more hot. Under the "zombies" of many "vegetable stealing" players, the "zombies" of the "vegetable stealing" players unite, Finally, the successful breakthrough of the defensive front of "Shou Cai" players, when the success of stealing vegetables, all players issued a cheering.

However, at this time, all players also found that the success of the capture of "Shou Cai" side of the player's stronghold after the new problem. Although the players in the video break through the defensive measures of "Shou Cai" players, it is also a troublesome thing to transport the crops stolen back to their own island.

Each raft has a certain storage space, which can only accommodate certain crops. If we try our best to break through the defense, we will not be able to transport the crops back to the island because of "seizing", which is undoubtedly a very painful thing. What's more, can we get enough crops to make up for the loss?

Obviously, this also involves a strategic factor - is the payoff proportional to the payoff?

But no matter how many players will be worried about this problem, "crazy farm" is destined to be popular, just waiting to be listed（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
