Chapter 46

Chen Mo returns to his studio on the second floor, opens the application market, searches for new games in the near future, and goes to the Internet to check the projects being tested by several major game companies.

Most of the new games of the game companies will be put in the experience store, so as long as the developed games are not officially launched into the application market, there will be some rumors.

Chen Mo finally found a video on a video website for the trial of a new game of emperor Chao mutual entertainment. The name of the game is called the guardian of holy spring.

"Well? Did the emperor and the emperor mingle with each other in entertainment? As expected

"We should pay a little attention to the games made by the emperor and the emperor for mutual entertainment."

Chen Mo starts to study the game "guardian of holy spring" by clicking on the trial video.

……

A new model of innovation of the game fire, is bound to lead a wave of trends, is bound to follow the trend.

Plants vs. Zombies has been on fire for two months. If other designers want to copy, two months will be enough for them to make the game.

Chen Mo was prepared for this, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Plant vs. zombie" can be regarded as a variety of tower defense games, but its heat has far exceeded most of tower defense games, because its strategy can be said to crush all tower defense games.

For designers in this world, it's not hard to figure out the success of "plant vs. zombie". Any C-level designer who is willing to copy regardless of face can make a game similar to "plant vs. zombie".

"Battle for the moon" is such a game, a notorious company, an unknown designer, with two months to flip a game.

The idea of "moon defense war" is very clear, which is to use the advantage of free, try to pry some corners of "Plants vs. Zombies" as much as possible, and then use the advertising to recover the cost.

They are targeting many players who are not willing to pay for "plant vs. zombie" and those who are tired of "plant vs. zombie".

However, Chen Mo knows that their thinking is bound to fail, so he doesn't need to pay attention at all.

There are three reasons.

First, the moon defense is afraid to make too many changes to the rules of "plant vs. zombie". Because the designer is not good enough, he is afraid to change the flash point of the original, so he chooses to copy it completely.

As a result, most of the players of "plant vs. zombie" can't play this highly repetitive game at all. If it is as like as two peas, what is it going to do?

Moreover, the previous stages of "moon defense" are repeatedly guided, which is a tired content for the players of "plant vs. zombie" and extremely affects the game experience. Most people don't have the patience.

Second, this kind of game is not suitable for free mode.

Whether it's adding advertising space or selling value-added services, it will make the players feel that the game's taste is ugly. Compared with "plant vs. zombie", the left "moon defense" will only be a lot of bad reviews.

Third, the game playing method, skill setting and level setting of "plant vs. zombie" are all in perfect agreement with the world view. Forcibly changing the art resources will only create a kind of incomparable feeling.

The result is that many players think it's not fun, but can't say why it's not. It is because the plants and zombies are replaced by mechanism turrets and Zerg, which makes the player's feeling slightly changed, thus seriously affecting the player's psychology when playing the game.

Therefore, Chen Mo doesn't care about "the moon defense war". This game has gone awry since the beginning, and it will only be submerged in the scolding of the players, even difficult to recover the cost.

This is a typical example of the so-called "copy will not copy".

In addition to the flying limit entertainment of making "moon defense war", there are several small companies making imitations of "Plants vs. Zombies". However, Chen Mo can see at a glance that the quality of these games is not as good as "moon defense war", let alone worry, they will only become laughingstock in the end.

The only thing that Chen Mo cares about is the guardian of the holy spring, which is being developed by the emperor for mutual entertainment.

Qiu bin, a B-level designer of Dichao mutual entertainment, was responsible for the design of the guardian of holy spring. Before that, he had several successful games.

From the video, we can see that the guardian of holy spring is indeed similar to zombie in many aspects, but it is far fetched to say that plagiarism, because many similarities are specious.

The game map of holy spring guardian is not as neat as the five roads in plant vs. zombie. There are hillsides, gullies and some elements such as walls on its map.

Players need to arrange all kinds of defense facilities around the holy spring, such as magic enchantment, crystal tower, Dragon Nest, brave barracks and so on, to resist the attack of the demons.

In many aspects, such as the skill of arms, difficulty of level and extended playing method, the guardian of holy spring also makes a special difference from the zombie of plant war, only a small number of units coincide with the characteristics of the units in the zombie of plant war.If someone jumps out and says that "guardian of holy spring" is copying "Plants vs. Zombies", it is believed that a large number of players will spontaneously refute it.

The highest level of copying is to copy like gods but not like forms.

Moreover, to achieve this level, it's hard to say that it's copying. The core fighting content of the game has been changed. How can we calculate copying?

But it's clear that the game's creativity and inspiration comes from "plant vs. zombie", and even the core fun is similar to "plant vs. zombie".

Chen Mo has a hunch that once the game is launched, the results will never be poor. If God is behind the entertainment, it's no surprise that the sales volume completely suppresses "Plants vs. Zombies".

This is the power of channels.

However, the game is still in the testing stage. According to the plan of emperor Chao mutual entertainment, it is about three months before it officially goes online.

The reason why the research and development is so long is that the holy spring Guardian needs to develop many additional content. It may be that considering that the main play method will make players feel that it is copying the plant vs. the zombie, many additional play methods and content should be used to dilute this feeling of players.

Chen Mo knows that he will speed up.

This "plagiarism" incident, though not threatening Chen Mo, proves one thing: the game dealers in the parallel world are as sharp and shameless as those in the past.

Even in some ways.

Just two months after the launch of zombie vs. plant, many game companies have already made fake products, which is much faster than previous game companies.

For example, the moon defense war of flying restrictions and mutual entertainment has thought of another way to go with free games, and Emperor Chao mutual entertainment also knows that with a huge user group, the game mode of "plant vs. zombie" is stolen by the way of "imitation".

Obviously, these game companies are not fat sheep. They are all hungry wolves that eat people and don't spit their bones, but they haven't been enlightened yet.

Once these game companies open up, Chen Mo's advantages will be lost.

Chen Mo knows that it's time to develop the next game.
