Chapter 21 Art and Music

After the adventure mode was set, Chen Mo continued to devote his energy to other games such as mini-games, puzzle-solving mode, and survival mode.

With the accumulation of adventure mode, these other modes are relatively easy and completely physical work. Chen Mo doesn't have to work as hard as before, doing and playing, and it took less than a week to complete the other modes.

Features like Zen Gardens, Pokédex, Achievements, and Shops are even simpler and can be completed in three days.

In the end, Chen Mo spent 3 days to test it, passed all the adventure mode, and checked the other modes to see if there were any unknown bugs, and modified a few details.

So far, Chen Mo has basically done it day and night, and it took more than a month to finally complete the main part of Plants vs. Zombies.

In the previous life, the game Plants vs. Zombies was made by a designer, an artist, a music, and a programmer for 3 years, but most of the time was constantly changing. Design solutions and optimize the user experience, and constantly polish, to make such a boutique game.

For Chen Mo, he doesn't need to write code, and he doesn't need to do too much numerical tuning, and he doesn't need to find inspiration or change the design. It's as simple as that.

However, this is not complete.

In the current game, the gameplay is basically complete, but the art resources are all free alternative resources on the editor. The style of painting is seriously inconsistent, and the sizes of many models and original paintings are also inappropriate. It looks like a mountain of garbage. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as appalling.

Moreover, the whole game does not have any music or sound effects, and there is no tension at all when playing, and the sense of shock during battle is almost 0.

Chen Mo's next time is to improve the quality of art and music to the level of his previous life.

Fortunately, Chen Mo has already written down the images of plants and zombies, and there are sketches stored on the computer. The next work is to complete it. However, this process is quite painful. Chen Mo has to hand-paint the whole process and adjust his movements by himself.

There are more than 40 kinds of plants and 20 kinds of zombies, and each type of plant and zombie has its own actions, which is not a small amount.

Fortunately, the original paintings of these plants and zombies are relatively simple, especially the appearance of many zombies can be reused, so it is not too much.

Chen Mo's current level of original painting is not high, but after all, the style of this game is relatively cartoonish, and the lines and colors are not too complicated, so Chen Mo can still handle it.

Of course, Chen Mo can also spend money to find someone to do it, but Chen Mo has to explain his needs in detail with other painters, not to mention that Chen Mo may not be satisfied with the things he makes, so he thought about it and gritted his teeth. I did it myself.

On average, Chen Mo can complete one type of plant and one type of zombie in one day, plus the interface, loading map and other resources, it took Chen Mo nearly one and a half months to get all the art resources.

Then there's music and sound effects.

After Chen Mo ate the skill book, the music sound effect skill is now 10 points. It is definitely impossible to say that he made it out of thin air, but it is not difficult to just restore the classic BGM.

The BGM of Plants vs. Zombies is also a classic BGM. Chen Mo still remembers many of the melodies clearly. Although it can't be 100% restored, it can at least be similar.

However, Chen Mo couldn't remember some of the more unpopular gameplay and system BGM.

Novice guide, preparation interface, classic scenes, dark night scenes, BOSS battle scenes, Zen Garden... Chen Mo can basically recall these classic BGMs. He simply synthesized several BGMs according to the melody of his previous life. Basically be able to do the same.

As for the less important BGM,

Chen Mo had to find some free resources for casual games in the editor to supplement it. He's looking for some styles that are relatively close, so it's not too inconsistent.

As for the sound effects, Chen Mo can only find them in the editor, but fortunately, there are a lot of sound effects in the editor, as long as you can endure the pain, you can always find similar ones.

It took Chen Mo two more weeks to add music and sound effects, but he was basically satisfied.

Chen Mo tested it for more than a week, played it repeatedly, and fine-tuned some things that he felt were inappropriate. In the end, the game was officially developed, and it took more than three months in total.

Chen Mo packaged the games that have been tested. The final installation package size is 127M, which is slightly larger than the previous life, but it doesn't matter. This amount of resources is already very small for the game industry in the parallel world.

Chen Mo has prepared installation packages for two platforms for this game, which can be downloaded and installed on both PC and mobile phones. Account data can also be exchanged, and there is also a simple ranking function.

The last step is the question of what account the player uses to log in.

Chen Mo basically didn't think much about it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com directly chose to use his company's official account, which is the Thunder Game Pass.

In fact, Chen Mo has other options. He can let users associate with social platform accounts, or use the account of Emperor Dynasty game platform.

Dichao Interactive Entertainment is the largest distributor and developer in China, and most players have accounts on the Dichao game platform.

Moreover, Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment also allows other games to log in with their own platform accounts. Many designers find it troublesome and directly use the account of the Emperor Dynasty game platform.

If you log in with this account, it is very convenient for players, and Chen Mo's game will be able to gain more users.

Many players are too lazy to re-register for passes, verify mobile phones and ID cards, and even this step may cause the loss of players.

But Chen Mo still decided to use the Thunder Game Pass, even at the expense of some users.

The reason is very simple. Whether it is to associate with a social platform account or to use an account on the Emperor Dynasty game platform, Chen Mo must be controlled by others. Even if the Emperor Dynasty game platform does not make a penny, it will be a loss for Chen Mo.

These player data is a very valuable asset. In the future, Chen Mo will have to develop a lot of games. Sooner or later, he will have to fight with these monopoly channel dealers. .

The game is finished, and it can't be linked to the app store for the time being.

Because Chen Mo is not sure whether the players in the parallel world still have the same taste as the previous life, if there is a difference, then this game still needs some adjustments.

Chen Mo installed Plants vs. Zombies on the computer and mobile phone of the experience store, ready to see the players' reactions first, and then decide the follow-up promotion strategy of this game.
