Chapter 44 Plagiarists Appear

Experience the store.

Wen Lingwei and Chang Xiuya are fighting against Jia Peng and another boy.

"Senior sister, help me repair a nut wall here!" Chang Xiuya said.

"How many zombies have you saved up? Come and put them here with me, and stole Xiuya's corn cannon first." Jia Peng said to another boy.

Chang Xiuya panicked: "Hey, Jia Peng, you can't do this!"

Wen Lingwei had a blank expression: "It's okay, I still have two corn cannons waiting."

Chang Xiuya screamed: "Ah!! Jia Peng, why don't you play according to the routine? Didn't you say you were stealing my corn cannon? Why did you eat my sunflower?"

The experience store was very lively, and Wen Lingwei and others were playing the latest multiplayer battle mode, which was difficult to solve.

Su Jinyu is using developer tools to design new plants and zombies, of course, mainly in terms of appearance. Her hand-drawing level is much higher than Chen Mo, and she has drawn two or three new plants.

All three plants are full of Chinese style, namely wheat machine guns, sweet potato bombs and bamboo walls.

The community functions in the game "Plant vs. Zombies" have also begun to gather more and more players.

Nearly two months after it was launched, the current users of Plants vs. Zombies have more than 800,000, and more than half of them are still active. These people have established thousands of communities of big and small sizes. Many real friends and classmates have joined the community and can view the latest updates of others every day.

Some hardcore fans of "Plant vs. Zombies" like developer tools very much, especially some players who are already interested in game design, are trying to make new mods.

There are already more than a dozen mods, but these mods have basically changed the values, such as infinite sunlight, accelerated plant fire rate, etc. Although there are many people playing, they obviously cannot last long.

However, Chen Mo was not worried. With too many mods, there would naturally be excellent mods, so players could just sift through spontaneously.

As for the multiplayer mode, it has indeed set off a craze among the player group. In the community of "Plant vs. Zombies", many players are posting to discuss small routines of the battle mode. There is even a three-person team that has completed 20 consecutive victories, posting and showing off in the community, which has attracted everyone's attention.

On major forums, players praised the update of "Plant vs. Zombies" for this version, and even triggered another wave of downloads.

"I studied the developer tool today. I feel that this tool is too powerful and can be modified in anything. It's just for us to develop it ourselves! Waiting for the master to make a mod that can match the original one!"

"I originally thought I had figured out this game, but now it seems that I am too young... If this game is constantly updated with mods, I will probably be able to play it for the rest of my life..."

"I can only say that I'm kneeling for the designer. There's no one else who can do this kind of casual game!"

"However, opening up the developer tools means that everyone can study the various data of "Plant vs. Zombies" at will. The designer is really courageous!"

"That's, unlike other companies, all game data is hidden and encrypted in different ways, for fear of others plagiarizing it."

"Yes, just because of the author's opening of developer tools, I've become a fan of the road!"

Chen Mo looked through the players' comments and was basically relieved.

For him, it is enough for the new version to achieve this level. This version update will greatly extend the vitality of "Plant vs. Zombies". It can be foreseen that in the next few months, "Plant vs. Zombies" should continue to dominate the puzzle and casual game list.

Suddenly, Su Jinyu panicked: "Shopkeeper, it's not good!"

"Hmm?" Chen Mo raised his head, "What's wrong?"

Su Jinyu came to Chen Mo with his cell phone: "Look, this game...copy us!"

Chen Mo took the phone from Su Jinyu.

On the mobile phone screen is a game in the application market. From the game introduction screen, you can see that the gameplay of this game is very similar to "Plant vs. Zombies". There are five roads on the left and enemies on the right.

However, the art materials of this game are completely different from "Plant vs. Zombies". The game is called "Moon Defense War". The main content is that players arrange various high-tech weapons on the moon to resist the attacks of alien Zergs.

Although these high-tech weapons have no similarities with plants in appearance, their specific functions are closely related to the various plants in "Plant vs. Zombies".

For example, the pea shooter was changed to a mechanism turret, the ground thorn was changed to a magnetic energy trap, the sunflower was changed to a supply base station, and the corn cannon was changed to a nuclear bomb silo.

The packaging of zombies has also been changed to various alien creatures, all of which are ugly Zergs, both big and small, and their attack methods are also different. However, most Zergs can see the shadow of zombies in their attack methods.

"What's wrong?" Jia Peng also came over.

Su Jinyu said: "Look, this game called "The Moon Defense" plagiarizes us!"

"What? So shameless!"

Everyone turned on their phones and found this game in the application market.

Indeed, everyone can easily see that this game is copying "Plant vs. Zombies". It basically changes the entire art resources and musical sound effects, and the ui has also been changed, but the gameplay inside is exactly the same as "Plant vs. Zombies".

"Can you bear this? I'll give it a bad review!" Jia Peng said indignantly.

"Yes, I'll try to get bad reviews! I'll also ask people from our community to get some swipes together!" Everyone responded.

Chen Mo didn't say anything, so he took a closer look at the various data of the game.

The online time was the day before yesterday and it was completely free to download. The rating was very low, only 2.3 points, and most players' comments were one-star negative reviews.

Obviously, these players have played "Plant vs. Zombies" and are very disdainful of this kind of plagiarism game.

The game is charged with built-in advertisements, and each time you pass the level screen, there will be a simple banner advertisement.

Moreover, there are some value-added services in it, players can pay to purchase energy supplies (that is, the sunshine in "Plant vs. Zombies"), and after death, they can also pay to get three resurrection opportunities.

The developer is Feisheng Interactive Entertainment, and the designer is a C-level designer I have never heard of.

Feisheng Interactive Entertainment is a game company far away from the Magic City, and can barely be considered second-rate. Before this, there were several very ordinary PC games and mobile games, but none of them were sold well.

This company has a very poor review on the Internet, but because it is really not famous, most people don’t know its bad record.

Chen Mo also learned about the company's style after looking through several games launched by the company.
