Chapter 544 542. It's all my own doing
In order to pass the review, Bomi Company has transformed the entire game style and some unharmonious elements. For example, the zombies have been made more cute, the death effect is more comedic, and there is no blood in the whole process. It feels more like giving you a feeling of [using magic to defeat magic].
Moreover, there are many types of plants and zombies, and they are very close to reality, so whether it is the style of painting, the gameplay, or the imagination, it has been loved by a wide range of users.
"Plants vs. Zombies" only costs 18 yuan in the mobile app store.
Because the development cost itself is not large, the employees of Bomi Company working on this project, from planning to art to programming to soundtrack... add up to a small team of 10 people. The investment cost before and after, plus the subsequent publicity costs, even 1,000 Less than ten thousand.
Since its launch in August, "Plants vs. Zombies" has firmly topped the sales rankings.
In just two days, sales have exceeded 1 million.
And this growth rate is still improving.
According to the judgment of the market analysis specialist -
After the release of Plants vs. Zombies, it will bring about an unprecedented mobile game revolution. Many people who do not play games have also begun to download this game because of the existence of Plants vs. Zombies.
Judging from the current growth rate and future trends, Plants vs. Zombies is likely to become the first mobile game product in history to exceed 5 million sales.
How popular is this game?
Almost as long as you have a smartphone, as long as you like playing games, as long as you are bored, as long as you are not a handicapped person, you can play this game.
So many people have downloaded this game.
And because many people, especially office workers, are busy working during the day and drag their tired bodies home at night, there is basically nothing to do during the fragmented time. The biggest way to relax is to play games.
Plants vs. Zombies just meets these people's needs for time consumption.
Therefore, Plants vs. Zombies has become the most popular mobile game product at the moment.
In addition, the market is really hungry for mobile games. The gap in this area is very huge. The main reason is the contradiction between supply and demand formed between a large number of mobile phone users and a small number of products.
Many people have smartphones, and now the number of people with smartphones in the world has exceeded 380 million.
More than half of them are Bomi smartphone users.
These mobile phone users actually need games very much, or, to be precise, because users' time is now more fragmented—
For example, while going to work, going to the toilet, or waiting for tasks or customers...
All this time was wasted. Before the advent of mobile games, it was either used to be in a daze or to kill it with other things.
So their desire for mobile games has reached a very high level.
The games on the market cannot meet their needs, which is why Plants vs. Zombies has become a huge success as soon as it was released.
As the game "Plants vs. Zombies" continues to rise, there are more and more reports and discussions about it in major forums and news media.
After entering September, this game successfully topped the hot search list:
"How do you evaluate Bomi's newly released mobile game "Plants vs. Zombies"?"
"Plants vs. Zombies is a very strategic game.
Terrifying zombies are about to invade. Each zombie has different characteristics. For example, the iron barrel zombie has a strong resistance to attacks, and the miner zombie can dig tunnels to bypass the plants planted on the surface of the soil. The way players defend against zombies is to plant plants.
Each of the 49 plants has a different function. For example, the cherry bomb can destroy all zombies within a certain range, while the piranha can eat the zombie closest to it.
Players can grow plants reasonably according to the weaknesses of different zombies, which is also the secret to victory. The game is divided into five game modes according to different gameplay modes: adventure mode, mini mode, puzzle mode, survival mode, and Zen garden.
In addition, obstacles such as darkness, rooftops, dense fog, and swimming pools increase the challenge and the game is almost endless.

"Plants vs. Zombies" integrates elements such as real-time strategy, tower defense, and card collection. Players control plants to resist zombie attacks and protect this botanical garden.
There are more than 40 kinds of plants that can be selected in the game, and each scene can only choose 10 kinds of plants at most, which requires players to make choices based on their own game strategies.
Because it has successfully borrowed some elements of strategy games - collecting resources and using them to build other units. Some players even apply interstellar strategies to this game to explain when and how the game needs to develop its "economy". Develop “military strength” at the same time.
This game requires players to have both the wisdom of the brain and the reactions of the cerebellum. After having the correct strategic thinking, you must rely on tactics to realize the strategy.
The scope of tactics includes a wide range, including the combination of plants, the formation during battle, and when plants and zombies meet, whether to fight or defend, these all belong to the category of tactics.
Correct tactics are the key to a player's victory in battle. To choose the correct tactics, you need to analyze the situation first and then make a decision. So improving the tactical level also requires improving the ability to analyze situations. "
"Bomi Company is really the eternal god. Only Bomi Company can produce such a fun game."
"It has been three years since the last mobile game developed by Bomi. You don't know how I survived these three years. Although there are many games appearing on mobile phones one after another, there are even many Excellent work.
But I still have a soft spot for Bomi.
I have been looking forward to Bomi's new game being launched.
This time I finally got it. "
"Bomi's new game "Plants vs. Zombies" is definitely the most popular mobile game product this year. How popular is it? Among the people I know around me, as long as they have a smartphone, 9 out of 10 people are playing it. The only one who doesn't play the game will also discuss it with us.”
"Plants vs. Zombies is really fun. I'm definitely not lying to you. As long as you download this game and are willing to spend 5 minutes to try it, you will definitely be attracted to this game.
The painting style is cute, and the zombies are also very cute. The plants are ever-changing. The most important thing is that the gameplay is very strong. In the frenzy of constantly resisting zombie attacks, you can make all plans and become a prudent planting master.
Once something is not planned well, such as planting one less sunflower or one less peashooter, it may result in your efforts being in vain, wasting a lot of time, and your mood will also change. Get depressed.
But once you can figure everything out and plant every plant, you will enjoy an unprecedented happiness.
You deserve this game and you won't regret it. "
"Let's put it this way, my daughter is 4 years old today, and she is playing Plants vs. Zombies, and even she understands the game.
You know how terrible this game is.
I deeply suspect that Bomi Company specially found people to test the lower age limit of game users, so it can develop such a game for such a young age. To be precise, it is a very low threshold that makes people addicted to the game.
My daughter comes back from kindergarten every day. The first thing she does is ask, Mom, can I play Plants vs. Zombies for a while?
As a result, I have now deleted this game, mainly because I am afraid that it will have a negative impact on the child's vision development, and that being too addicted to the game will cause her to have no interest in learning.
But personally, "Plants vs. Zombies" is definitely a good game. Even old aunts like me are addicted to it, let alone the elderly and children. "
"Yes, when I saw her daughter mentioned above, I also want to talk about my grandma. My grandma is 84 years old this year, but she is an old man who keeps up with the times. I bought her a Bomi before. I also taught her how to use a smart phone. She really couldn't put it down. She would call me whenever she needed something and send voice messages.
Yes, my grandma can actually use WeChat now.
Then, I don't know which day it was, I suddenly discovered, hey, why there is a game like “Plants vs. Zombies” on my grandma's mobile phone.
So I asked her, did you lend your phone to a child to play with and he downloaded it for you?
In the end, what do you think my grandma said?
She said she downloaded it herself and strongly recommended this game to me.
I went there...
Can you imagine an old man with white hair wearing his reading glasses and playing Plants vs. Zombies?
Don't be too beautiful.
Therefore, "Plants vs. Zombies" is really a game for everyone. It can be easily played by both men, women and children. As long as you can count, you can play this game and get endless happiness from this game.
No more talking, I'm going to teach my grandma how to play games. "
“Plants vs. Zombies has a very low threshold. I think this was specially designed by Bomi to allow more people to experience this game. The game itself must be of high quality. After all, Bomi's The golden signboard stands here.
And in order to allow more people to play this game, they have also specially processed the painting style. Everything is like the fairy tales we watched when we were children, full of legend.
Plants and zombies are common even in Western countries.
In other words, Bomi had already considered Western countries before making this game, and even adopted methods they are more familiar with to develop the game.
The costumes of the zombies are also more Westernized, and the plants are all in the style of American comics.
This is quite good, and the acceptance rate is very high for both domestic and foreign players.
The only problem now is—
Omi countries don't have Bomi phones, how can they play this game? "
"Hahahaha...the last sentence of the respondent really made me laugh. How can Omi country play this game without a Bomi smartphone?"
"Yeah, they haven't approved Bomi smartphones for sale in China yet, and Plants vs. Zombies is developed based on Bomi's Hongmeng system. If you want to transplant it to Apple phones, you need to face several problems:
1. Operating system issues. The operating systems of the two mobile phones are different. This raises the question of whether the operating systems are compatible. To be precise, if you want to play Plants vs. Zombies on an Apple phone, you must at least re-install it on Apple. Game development can only be done on the IOS system.
Second, is Bomi Company willing?
As we all know, "Plants vs. Zombies" is a mobile game developed by Bomi. There is a competitive relationship with Apple, especially in the field of smartphones. Now the United States does not open the mobile phone market, which makes it impossible for Bomi to let its own The game appears on rival phones.
Isn't this just selling yourself out and causing trouble for yourself?
Bomi is not that stupid.
Of course the players also know this.
So, it can be summed up in two words -
No solution. "
"Hahahaha, it's really funny. Omi players can't play Bomi mobile games, and I suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of superiority. It seems that living in such a [developing country] is pretty good.
Isn't the United States the country with the most high technology and the most advanced technology in the world? It's really strange that they still envy us. "
"They really brought this on themselves and they can't blame others."
"I think Apple could do this -
Develop a similar product yourself, but due to the design, reputation and copyright issues, you can use another packaging.
For example: Fruits vs. Zombies, or Stationery vs. Zombies, Furniture vs. Zombies...
Wait, wait, as long as you can fight zombies.
In this way, they can experience the charm of this game without bringing in Bomi smartphones. "
"It seems that this idea is really feasible. Judging from the habits of old Americans, this approach is the most cost-effective. There is no need to open the market, and there is no need to ask Bomi for their opinions. They need to be in the mobile game Concessions have been made above, and new categories and gameplay have been created to allow players to experience more novel fun.
I think it should be the other way around then—
Domestic players can also say: Why can't Bomi smartphones play Fruits vs. Zombies?
Why can't Bomi mobile play Stationery vs. Zombies?
Ha ha ha ha…"
"You are such a clever little guy. Hurry up and go to work at Apple. Steve Jobs welcomes you."
How popular is Bomi's "Plants vs. Zombies"?
In foreign words, it is -
“Why can't Apple introduce Plants vs. Zombies on its own phones?”
“I'd really go crazy if I couldn't play this game on my iPhone.”
"It is strongly recommended to open the mobile phone market so that we can buy Bomi smartphones."
“Apple's mobile phone is really rubbish. Not only did it lag behind Bomi in the beginning, it also lags behind a lot in terms of software.
I remember that Bomi already had its own games when the mobile phone was first released, such as Angry Birds, Fruit Assassin, Monument Valley, etc...
Up to now, three years have passed, and I still have not been able to play similar high-quality game products on mobile phones in our country.
Really infuriating.
I can only say that these companies are really a group of companies without ideals, even inferior to Chinese companies.
They should reflect on why they are controlled by others and fall behind step by step.
If this continues, will there be a day when we are still using outdated Apple phones, while people across the street can already use very advanced future communication products that are not even mobile phones?
I think this is possible, and the possibility is quite high. "
"Yeah, it's really a pity that you can't play "Plants vs. Zombies" on Apple phones. I see that many people have posted related videos on YouTube, and some people have started asking their friends to bring goods back from Xiangjiang. .
The only problem is that there is no Bomi smartphone service in China, so it is equivalent to buying this game for the same price as buying a mobile phone. "
"I'm not stupid. You can't upgrade in the United States. You can go to Xiangjiang to upgrade. You can ask your friends to bring whatever they bring back. Moreover, these YouTube anchors actually earn money by uploading videos after getting their mobile phones. It's much more than buying this mobile phone, right?
You are really a group of people who have enough to worry about others. "
"I just want to play "Plants vs. Zombies". Is there any kind person who can develop one for our Apple?"
"Or you can develop it on a computer."
“I think it might be better if you leave a message to Bomi's official website on the AIR game platform, asking them not to just sell this game on mobile phones, but also on computers. Wouldn't it be better?
One game makes two copies of money. As a company, it is impossible for Bomi to not understand the principle of making money, right? "
"Hmm... Indeed, that's a good offer."
As a result, many letters and messages to Bomi officials soon appeared on the game platform. Many people asked Bomi to port the Plants vs. Zombies game on mobile phones to PC, so that more people without smartphones can Players can also experience such a good game product.
When Cao Yang saw the news, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Everything is within his plan.
Now the PC version of Plants vs. Zombies is already under development. After all, he is not stupid. There is no reason to leave money and not make money.
But this time will definitely lag.
You have to wait until the mobile game sells enough and reaches what he considers to be a saturated state before it can be released on PC. Otherwise, it will be equivalent to competing with yourself.
Everything must be maximized to maximize benefits.
However, players shouldn't have to wait too long, only half a year.
Since the release of Bomi's "Plants vs. Zombies", not only has the game achieved unprecedented success, it has also boosted the sales of Bomi's smartphones.
Many people buy Bomi's smartphones just because they can play the game Plants vs. Zombies.
Therefore, Bomi's smartphone sales were quite good in September.
The boom in mobile phone sales caused by a game is really incredible.
This made Apple CEO Steve Jobs' condition even more aggravated, something he didn't even realize before -
Oh, it turns out that software can also promote demand for hardware.
A good game, especially an exclusive game like Plants vs. Zombies that is loved by everyone, can promote the sales of mobile phones.
The reputation of Apple's mobile phones has been declining. The main reason is not because the design is not good enough or the quality is not high enough. The main reason is actually-
It's really frustrating that I can't play Bomi mobile games on my iPhone.
However, Cao Yang himself said -
Aren't you all asking for this?
Who told the United States not to open its market and prevent us from selling mobile phones in your country?
Now you know you were wrong, right?
