植物大战僵尸专访.docVIP

专访植物大战僵尸游戏总策划师 George Fan is the mastermind behind PopCaps Plants vs. Zombies, a game thats often been described as crazy. (Crazy good, crazy addictive... or just plain crazy. Its all accurate.) We spoke to George about Plants vs. Zombies, his previous PopCap project Insaniquarium, and what kind of hidden object game he would make if he could. George Fan是PopCap旗下热门游戏《植物大战僵尸》的主策划, 这款游戏经常被人评价为“疯狂” (疯狂的好玩, 疯狂的上瘾，或者就是简单的疯狂。) 今天我们一起和 George 来聊一聊《植物大战僵尸》、他之前为 PopCap 策划的作品《疯狂水族馆》以及如果他能做隐藏对象的游戏他会做什么。 George Fan和僵尸，左边的是George （众：看得出来！） Zombies are unofficially considered “taboo” in casual games (along with ninjas and robots!), but Plants vs. Zombies has gotten a great response from both the hardcore and the casual crowd. What’s your secret? 提问：一般都认为僵尸是休闲类游戏的禁忌（与此相同的还有忍着和机器人），但是植物大战僵尸却在高级玩家和休闲玩家那里都得到了非常好的反响，你有什么秘诀吗？ Hmm... I dont really have a secret... I think its a just result of personal taste.

Im big on strategy in games, so I made sure to include a heaping spoonful of it in this one. So there you have the hardcore side of the game. On the other hand, I despise games that make you go through walls of tutorial text to teach complex game mechanics, so I tried to keep it extra simple in the beginning of the game. And thats the casual side for ya. 另外，我觉得真正能在高级玩家和休闲玩家之
