Fengyuan region, Kanaz City.
It was a large city located in the western part of Fengyuan, adjacent to the Meteor Falls. It was an important commercial center in Fengyuan.
The headquarters of the giant monopoly, the Deven Company, was located in Kanaz City.
The Deven Company started in the energy industry.
But in addition to the energy industry, the gaming industry also provided 25% of the financial data.
As a well-known product, the gaming platform, ORAS, was also quite popular overseas.
Among them, the real-time virtual game, Pokémon: Battle, ranked first in terms of downloads.
Hundreds of new games were released on ORAS every day, but only a few of them were really popular.
And in August, a tower defense themed game suddenly broke into the top ten of the new games list.
Kanaz City, Trainer School.
"Did you play the game I gave you yesterday?"
"Damn it, my sunflower seeds are always eaten by little Lada!"
"Haha, you have to put acorns in the front row, stupid!"
The bell rang, and the teenagers were still chattering about the game.
"I brought a tablet, watch me play!" The teenager's eyes lit up.
"Huh? But this is Teacher Du Juan's class … "
"It's okay, as long as she doesn't find out!"
Before he finished, a slim teacher walked in through the front door of the lecture hall.
Her hair was tied up in two ponytails with red ribbons.
Cuckoo, who looked a little young, walked into the lecture hall with a stack of books in her hands, wearing a wide-brimmed skirt and pink stockings.
Putting the books on the podium, Cuckoo coughed lightly and said, "Today's class is about the use of abnormal statuses and how to deal with them …"
Suddenly, there was a roar from the audience, "Defend or not!"
"Mr. Lu thinks you can't do it!"
"I give up, why are there Mr. Lu's fans everywhere?"
The audience burst into laughter.
Cuckoo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is this … a new joke? I don't seem to be able to keep up with your topic. "
The class leader kindly reminded, "This is a uploader on Bilibili who specializes in teaching tactics and team building!"
"That's just an amateur …" Cuckoo muttered.
"Teacher, Mr. Lu has already taught us about these abnormal statuses!"
"Mr. Lu's explanation of poisoning is even more detailed than the books!"
Cuckoo looked defeated and said in a low voice, "No matter what, let's turn to page 36 first …"
Suddenly, Cuckoo raised her eyebrows and quickly walked in front of the two students who were discussing with their heads lowered.
After confiscating the tablets from their hands, Cuckoo smiled proudly. "Come to my office after class!"
After being a teacher for so many years, he had never received anything!
The two students' faces were pale. "It was not easy for me to defeat Dr. Squid King!"
"Teacher, let me finish this round!"
"Playing games in class …" Cuckoo mumbled. "No, we'll talk about it later!"
…
The bell rang and Cuckoo returned to the office. She looked at the confiscated tablet and asked curiously,
"What game is this?"
"Plants vs. Zombies!" The student replied, "I just downloaded it from ORAS today!"
"It only costs twenty yuan!" The other boy's eyes lit up. "Teacher Cuckoo, come and play too!"
Cuckoo smiled coldly. "I won't play this boring tower defense game!"
Twenty minutes later …
"Teacher Cuckoo, aren't you going to class? The class has already started ten minutes ago. "The teacher reminded her.
"Wait for me to finish this round …"
Cuckoo suddenly froze and stuttered. "What? Class has already started?! "
"I … I … I'll go right now!"
Cuckoo hurriedly closed the tablet but forgot to save it. Suddenly, tears streamed down her face.
"Can this be paused … Why do I get so carried away!"
The same scene played out all over Fengyuan.
Due to the popularity of ORAS in Fengyuan, Plants vs. Zombies became popular overseas.
As one of the members of the chat group.
Elder Tie Xuan from Zijin City called Lu Ye early in the morning.
Tie Xuan laughed and said, "Lu Ye, can you send this old man a copy of the strategy? A cheat is fine too!"
"Who asks the author for a cheat!"
"Hahaha, it's fine. It's just that it's so fun that I called to tell you!"
The speed at which Plants vs. Zombies became popular was beyond Lu Ye's expectations.
As a game that went on sale on August 1st, it had an inconspicuous "New Game on Sale" recommendation.
In just three days, Plants vs. Zombies made it into the top ten of the New Games Leaderboard.
With a price tag of twenty yuan per copy, more than five thousand copies were sold in three days, and this was under the circumstances where there was almost no promotion.
With a positive rating of ninety-five percent, the game received a long recommendation from nearly ten game reviewers.
This kind of positive rating and positive rating was rare even for games made by big game companies.
"It's hard to imagine that this is a game made by a small studio. Whether it's the gameplay or the completion rate, it's a five-star game!"
"I'm a fan of Mr. Lu. I got this game as soon as I watched the video. I thought it was a doujin game made by a gamer, but I didn't expect it to be so addictive! Five-star rating! "
"I beat Dr. Squid King all night, and I still have to challenge the dojo tomorrow morning … I'm too tired to sleep."
"Mr. Lu knows how to make games? The games he makes are so fun? I'm jealous, it's not worth recommending! "
"I asked my mom for twenty yuan to buy teaching materials, and she asked me what it was. I said that this teaching material can not only remember the evolution of sprites, but also their characteristics, restraints, and moves … That's right, it's Plants vs. Zombies!"
Looking at the screen full of positive reviews and the constantly rolling background data,
Yuko Oda was so excited that he grabbed Lu Ye's hair. "Brother Lu, you're famous!"
"Stop pulling." Lu Ye was very calm.
With the support of the system's skills, Lu Ye pretty much restored the essence of the original game, and even integrated the elements of the sprite world.
All in all, Lu Ye still had a certain level of confidence.
"You have a part to play in this too." Lu Ye smiled.
"I'm just a programmer … Plus, we had a contract beforehand. It's employment, not a partnership." Liang Dae-woo shook his head.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't jealous.
But Yuko Oda was a law student, and had an innate sense of justice, so he wasn't shortchanged in terms of salary.
Without Lu Ye's creativity, Liang Dae-woo knew that he wouldn't have been able to make such a popular game.
"In the future, just add my name to the studio's staff list!" Liang Dae-woo smiled.
"No problem!"
"Oh right, what's the name of our studio again?"
Lu Ye thought about it. Since it was a studio, he originally wanted to call it "Game Freak."
But in the future, he would have to set up a company …
Speaking of the Pokémon IP, people couldn't help but think of the master of the world, Nintendo.
Unfortunately, without the foundation of the F&C era, it was difficult for sewer workers to leave a deep impression.
Fire Emblem was the ancestor of SRPGs, so it wasn't a wise choice to make a war game now.
MOBA games had just started to emerge in this world …
If they could learn from the success of that game in the future …
"Let's call it Pokémon Studio."
Lu Ye said, "The theme is still mainly about sprites. Let those who are restricted by conditions and can't tame sprites feel the charm of sprites!"
