Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 298 Protect your house
The rolling turf bloomed with small white flowers on the dirt.

Just this loading bar captured the hearts of a bunch of big guys in the live broadcast room at first sight.

Not to mention that in the background at this moment, there are sunflowers with big bulinbulin eyes and a smile on their faces, nuts that look silly, and green plants with a big cylindrical mouth.

Plants grow on the green lawn, and the sky at this moment is also a bright orange color that symbolizes sunshine.

But on the opposite side of the street, under the dark purple sky, countless zombies climbed over the fence and attacked brazenly.

However, speaking of zombies, these guys are not at all as scary and terrifying as those zombies in Resident Evil.

On the contrary, they all have big bald heads, wearing a rather shabby suit and a conspicuous red tie, looking cute and cute.

If you ignore the green-black skin of this guy, I'm afraid not many people will connect the guy you see in front of you with a zombie.

[Plants vs. Zombies]
That's the name of the game.

"Someone told me that Monster Hunter is a game that macho men should play. I just want to say that this is the game that macho men should play."

"What a cute painting style. I love it."

"So how should this game be played? Erxiao, hurry up."

[Please enter your name]
However, there is already a default name "123" in the name column.

"What does 123 mean?"

Erxiao was a little confused.

However, this was not the crux of the problem. Erxiao, who was too lazy to type, directly selected the OK button.

In the upper left corner of the game's main menu, a skull-shaped sign hangs.

[Welcome back: 123]
On the left, a solitary flower pot is placed under a large banyan tree, with the two characters "achievement" printed on the base.

On the left side of the screen is a huge tombstone that takes up half of the screen.

[Start adventure mode]
[Mini Game]
[Puzzle Mode]
[Survival Mode]
Some hanging rail music is still playing in the background.

Now except for the adventure mode, the remaining three modes are gray and not unlocked.

However, just start the game and play it. Why do you know so much? Just rush.

The original background music suddenly changed in style. Amidst the echoes of several major piano keys, accompanied by a burst of creepy laughter, a green palm with shriveled nails and cracked nails suddenly emerged from the ground.

"Fuck, that smile is too hellish. Isn't this some grimoire game? I take back my previous views on this game."

"Cute little hands, it must be very easy to hit when used."

"unbelievable."

The first thing that catches the eye is a courtyard.

There is a patch of earth-yellow mud on the left side of the courtyard. When the scroll scrolls to the right, a green lawn in the center of the mud field covers the entire ground from left to right.

Through this perspective, several zombies wandering on the right also came into view.

On the lawn, green and dark green alternate in sequence, forming small squares one after another.

In the UI in the upper left corner of the screen, there is the number "150" under the sun icon.

In the box on the right, there is a green plant card with braided leaves on the back of the head, and the words "100" sunshine are left on it.

[Click on the seed packet to pick it up]
"Pea shooter……"

Erxiao moved the mouse to the name displayed on the card and called out the name of the plant.

With the Peashooter selected, the light and dark plants on the grass can be placed on any grid on the grass.

"They say Plants vs. Zombies. Since we are controlling plants, the goal of the game is to defeat zombies?"

Although he still didn't understand how the game was played, Erxiao still placed the pea shooter on the far right side of the lawn.

After all, the zombies are on the far right.

[Good job! ]
Along with the game itself inspiring you.

Sunlight falls from above the game to the ground.

[Collect sunshine! ]
Erxiao immediately controlled the mouse to click on the sunshine, and as it flew into the sunshine pattern in the upper left corner of the game, the value of the sunshine originally changed to 50 due to the planting of a pea shooter, and now it has changed to 75.
"The amount of one sun is 25, which means four suns are needed to grow a pea shooter."

The production of sunshine is quite rapid.

Erxiao followed the tutorial and collected the sunshine.

After she planted a second pea shooter on her lawn.

[Don’t let zombies get close to your house! ]
In the lower right corner of the game interface, along with entries representing the level's progress, a zombie's head slowly appeared from the far right side of the lawn.

Its eyes were one big and one small, its teeth were sparse, its tongue was sticking out, its head was tilted, and it slowly moved toward the house behind the plant.

However, the moment its little leather shoes stepped on the lawn, the pea shooter Er Xiao had just planted also started to move.

"Puff~Puff~"

Amidst the cute sound effects, small green beans were continuously launched from the pea shooter's mouth, hitting the zombies head-on.

Within a few bullets, the zombie's left arm, which was originally hanging to the ground, was completely broken, revealing its white skeleton.

Immediately afterwards, the zombie didn't even finish walking across the second lawn. Under the firepower of two pea shooters, his head was knocked off. He knelt on his knees and disappeared on the lawn.

"Plant plants to fight zombies. Plants vs. zombies is what it means."

Erxiao's interest has been piqued.

Just after killing the first zombie and having just enough sunshine, Erxiao immediately planted another Peashooter.

The three pea shooters have powerful firepower. If the zombies dare to attack, they will be defeated.

Originally, Erxiao wanted to plant a fourth Peashooter, but the zombies had been cleared away now, and the last zombie had lost its "equipment".

A brand new card, costing 50 sunshine, represents a lovely sunflower.

Among the dazzling pickup animations and pleasant sound effects:

[You got a new plant]
[sunflower]
[Providing you with more sunshine]
[next level]
"This game is a bit childish."

"Perhaps this game is a bit childish for primary school students, but it is just right for college students like me."

"It's so funny, someone posted a post on the forum before. I didn't expect that tower defense won."

Yes, Plants vs. Zombies is a tower defense game through and through.

It still looks like pure tower defense without any bells and whistles.

Collect sunlight, grow plants, and fend off zombies.

So far, everyone is quite satisfied with both the painting style and the music.

Come to the second level of the game.

Compared with the first level, two brand new lawns have spread out in the courtyard.

This means that the area where players can grow plants in the game has increased, and it also means that zombies will attack the house from multiple angles.

[Sunflowers are very important plants, at least three sunflowers must be planted]
Plant this little guy, and as it shakes its head, the whole face of the sunflower turns golden, and a sunbeam is born.

Everyone knows how to grow sunflowers.Because growing plants requires sunlight, if you simply wait for sunflowers to appear naturally, one or three roads may be barely enough.

But seeing as there are still two empty dirt fields left, there will definitely not be enough sunshine in the future.

After planting three sunflowers, Erxiao discovered that the zombies on the map had not come out yet.

Although the collected sunlight was enough for a peashooter, it was still uncertain which of the three roads the zombies would come out of, so Erxiao simply planted a second row of sunflowers.

Just when the second row of sunflowers was planted, the zombies arrived late.

I walked out slowly on the third road.

Erxiao was a little anxious, and there happened to be one square left in the third lane. Erxiao decisively chose the pea shooter and planted it directly in that empty space.

"? Erxiao, what the hell did you do! Can't you plant a grid forward?"

"It's asymmetrical! Shouldn't there be a sunflower planted in that place? I feel so uncomfortable when I see it."

"Can you die if you plant one grid forward?"

Originally, the first and second rows were supposed to be sunflowers, and they looked very beautiful neatly.

Now because of the pea shooter that Er Xiao suddenly inserted, a lot of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder are about to burst into tears.

The barrage surged wildly, as if Erxiao had done something to make people angry.

"Huh? The zombies are coming from the right. I'm afraid it will rush over if I don't plant it quickly."

Erxiao explained weakly.

Then, as if to remedy the situation, Erxiao immediately chose a sunflower and placed it on the right side of the pea shooter.

"That way there will be two sunflowers in each row."

Kwai, Kwai.

Kwai, Kwai.

Sunflower, peas, sunflower.

Seeing the painful scene in front of them, the brothers became angry.

"Dogs can play better than you."

"A pea can handle such a long distance. Why are you playing Gou Ba?"

"My obsessive-compulsive disorder can no longer be tolerated. Now I have to leave the live broadcast room and wash my eyes."

"Okay, okay, you're having fun, right? I'll go to the kitchen and cook you a good dish to reward you."

Seeing everyone excited.

Erxiao also raised his right hand and vowed that he would be symmetrical next time, so the brothers let this guy go.

The second level drops a brand new plant called Cherry Bomb.

Two angry facial features on a bright red cherry are enough to show how violent this plant is.

[cherry bomb]
[Blow up all zombies in a certain area]
Everyone finally understood the nature of this game.

Each time you pass a level, you can unlock a brand new plant.

To be honest, everyone is quite interested in these strange plants with different abilities.

Just the gameplay of unlocking plants can drive everyone to continue playing.

The third pass.

In addition to the partner Cherry Bomb, the zombies on the right have also undergone extraordinary changes.

There are a few zombies with orange roadblocks mixed in with the ordinary zombies, and they don't look like they are easy to mess with.

However, there are still three roads and they have not been expanded to five.

It is also customary to start with three sunflowers.

The difference from the previous game was that when the third sunflower was planted in this game, zombies had already appeared from the right.

It takes the middle path.

As the zombies slowly advance, the sun reaches 50.

But Erxiao did not choose to plant the sunflowers that had cooled down at this moment, but waited anxiously for the sunlight to collect.

Finally, with the naturally occurring sunbeam, comes the production of a third sunflower.

The sunshine finally accumulated to 100, Erxiao also hurriedly planted the pea shooter, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The next minute or so was the process of zombies appearing, Erxiao waiting for the sun, and then planting a pea shooter. Slowly, some water friends noticed something was wrong.

"Er Xiao, the efficiency of sunlight production is obviously not keeping up. There are definitely too few sunflowers in the row."

"Now there are obvious gaps in the sunshine on the three roads. The rows of sunflowers coming out of the five roads behind will definitely not be able to keep up. Please use more varieties."

Many people in the live broadcast room have played strategy games.

In the later stages of this type of game, money is not the first factor that restricts development, but the cooling time.

Now this cooldown time is significantly faster than the sunlight collection, which obviously doesn't match up well.

After all, sunlight can be produced quickly by planting sunflowers, but the cooling time is obviously fixed.

"Okay, okay, then I'll plant two rows and see."

This time, Erxiao did not challenge everyone's bottom line, and deliberately chose a new row to plant sunflowers.

It was also at this time that the roadblock zombies made their debut.

The movement speed is obviously no different from that of ordinary zombies. The only difference is that the blood volume is obviously much higher than that of ordinary zombies.

After being attacked, the roadblock first breaks down, and then it's the hands' turn to somersault, which is very intuitive to watch.

Even though Erxiao quickly added a pea shooter, under the suppression of the two pea shooters, it still came to a position relatively close to the plant before being killed.

"Unless the distance between the roadblocks is long enough, it will be difficult to defend with one peashooter. Two peashooters can be defended more smoothly."

"Peas have no penetrating ability. It feels like there is an ordinary zombie behind a roadblock. If there is only one pea in a line, it will collapse."

"The grid of each road is limited. From this point of view, the more sunlight, the better. The more you plant, if the distance between you and the zombies is too short, the zombies can easily harm the plants."

Everyone was talking about Plants vs. Zombies.

And Erxiao's formation has also taken initial shape.

Two rows of sunflowers and three rows of peashooters successfully withstood the last wave of offensive.

Erxiao even saved up enough 150 in the end and tested the effect of the cherry bomb on a single zombie.

When it was first placed on the ground, the size of the cherry bomb continued to expand, followed by a "bang!" sound and special explosion effects.

The zombies within range turned into a puddle of ashes.

The body formed a small ash pile, and the head fell on the ash pile, which looked very funny.

And this time the new plants:
[Nut Wall]
[Block the zombies and protect the plants behind them]
It seems that the problem of plants being easily threatened by zombies due to the short front line has been solved?
