   experience shop.

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

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

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

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

   Wen Lingwei expressionlessly: "It's okay, I have two corn cannons waiting."

   Chang Xiuya screamed: "Ah! Jia Peng, why don't you play the card according to your routine! Didn't you say that you stole my corn cannon? How did you eat my sunflower!"

The    experience shop is very lively, Wen Lingwei and others are playing the latest multiplayer battle mode, which is inextricably played.

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

   These three plants are full of Chinese style, they are wheat machine gun, sweet potato bomb and bamboo wall.

   The community function in the game "Plants vs. Zombies" has also begun to gather more and more players.

   has been online for nearly two months. Plants vs. Zombies currently have more than 800,000 users, and more than half of the players are still active. These people have established thousands of large and small communities, and many real friends, Classmates have joined the community and can check the latest developments of others every day.

   Some die-hard fans of "Plants vs. Zombies" really like developer tools, especially some players who are already interested in game design, are trying to make new mods.

   There are more than a dozen mods, but these mods basically simply change the values, such as unlimited sunlight, faster plant fire rate, etc. Although there are a lot of people playing, it obviously can’t last.

   But Chen Mo is not worried. There are more mods, and there will naturally be excellent mods. Just let the players choose spontaneously.

   As for the multiplayer game mode, it has indeed set off an upsurge in the player group. In the "Plants vs. Zombies" community, many players are posting posts to discuss the small routines of the battle mode, and there is even a three-person team. Finished 20 consecutive victories, posted in the community to show off, aroused crowds of onlookers.

   On major forums, players praised the update of "Plants vs. Zombies" mostly, and even triggered another wave of downloads.

  "Today I studied the developer tool, and I feel that this tool is too powerful, and everything can be changed. It is completely for us to develop our own! Wait for the big hands to make a mod that can be comparable to the original!"

   "I thought I had already 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 a lifetime..."

   "I can only say that I kneel to the designer. No one can do this for a single-player casual game!"

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

  "That is, unlike other companies, the game data is all hidden and encrypted, for fear of others' plagiarism."

  "Yes, just for the author to open up the developer tools, the road turned into fans!"

   Chen Mo looked at the player's comments and was basically relieved.

   For him, it’s enough that the new version can achieve this level. This version update allows the vitality of "Plants vs. Zombies" to be greatly extended. It can be foreseen that in the next few months, "Plants vs. Zombies" "Should continue to dominate the puzzle leisure game list.

   Suddenly, Su Jinyu panicked and said: "Manager, it's not good!"

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

  Su Jinyu took the phone and came to Chen Mo: "Look, this game...copy us!"

  Chen Mo took the phone from Su Jinyu.

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

   However, the art material of this game is completely different from "Plants vs. Zombies". The name of the game is "Defense of the Moon". The main content is that players deploy various high-tech weapons on the moon to defend against alien zerg Offense.

   Although these high-tech weapons have no similarities with plants in appearance, they are inextricably linked to the various plants in Plants vs. Zombies in terms of specific functions.

   For example, the pea shooter has been changed to a cannon, ground spurs have been changed to magnetic traps, sunflowers have been changed to supply base stations, and corn cannons have been changed to nuclear bomb silos.

   The packaging of zombies has also been changed. They have been changed to all kinds of alien creatures. They are all kinds of ugly zergs, large and small, and their attack methods are different, but most of the zerg attacks can be seen. To the shadow of the zombie.

   "What's the matter?" Jia Peng also leaned over.

  Su Jinyu said: "Look, this game called "Defense of the Moon" is plagiarizing us!"

   "What? So shameless!"

   Everyone turned on their phones~IndoMTL.com~ and found this game in the app market.

   Indeed, everyone can easily see that this game is a copy of "Plants vs. Zombies". Basically, the entire art resources, music and sound effects have been changed, and the UI has also been changed, but the gameplay inside is different. "Plants vs. Zombies" is exactly the same.

   "Is this tolerable? I'll give it a bad review!" Jia Peng said indignantly.

   "Yes, review bad reviews! I want people in our community to review them together!" Everyone responded.

   Chen Mo didn't speak, and first took a closer look at the game's various data.

   was launched the day before yesterday, and it is completely free to download. The score is very low, only 2.3 points, most of the player reviews are one-star bad reviews.

   Obviously, these players have played "Plants vs. Zombies" and are very disdainful of such plagiarized games.

  The charging method of the game is built-in advertising, and there will be a simple banner advertisement on the screen every time you pass.

  Moreover, there are some value-added services in it. Players can pay for energy supplies (the sunshine in "Plants vs. Zombies"), and they can also pay for three resurrection opportunities after death.

  The developer is FeiXing Interactive Entertainment, and the designer is a C-level designer who has never heard of it.

   Fei Xing Huyu is a game company far away in the magic capital, barely considered second-rate. Prior to this, there were several very common terminal games and mobile games, but none of them were sold.

   The evaluation of this company on the Internet is very poor, but because it is so unfamiliar, most people don’t know its stigma.

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