A large city located in the west of Hoenn, adjacent to Meteor Falls, it is an important commercial center of Hoenn.
The headquarters of the giant monopoly company, 'Dewen Company', is located in Karnaz City.
Devon started out in the energy industry.
But in addition to the energy industry, the gaming industry also provides up to 25% of financial report data.
As its well-known product, the game platform ‘ORAS’ also has a large market overseas.
Among them, the number one download is the real-time virtual "Pokémon Battle".
On 'ORAS', hundreds of new games are released every day, but only a few are truly popular.
And in August, a tower defense-themed game suddenly broke into the top ten of the new game list.
Karnaz City, Trainer School.
"Have you played the game I pushed to you yesterday?"
"Damn it, my sun seeds are always eaten by Rattata!"
"Haha, I need to put acorns in the front row, Tiehanhan!"
The bell rang, and several teenagers were still chattering about the game.
"I brought a tablet, watch me play!" The boy's eyes lit up.
"Ah? But this is Teacher Du Juan's class..."
"It's okay, as long as she doesn't find out!"
Before he finished speaking, a slim teacher walked into the front door of the lecture theater.
She has a bun and two ponytails tied up in red hair.
Du Juan, who looks a bit young, wears a wide skirt and pink stockings, and walks into the classroom holding a stack of books.
Putting the teaching materials on the podium, Du Juan coughed lightly and said: "The lesson we are going to take today is about the use and response to abnormal states..."
Suddenly there was a roar from the audience: "Keep it or not!"
"I, Teacher Lu, don't think you can do it!"
"I'm convinced, why are there fans of Teacher Lu everywhere?"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Du Juan was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Is this... some new joke? The teacher seems to be unable to keep up with your topics again."
The squad leader kindly reminded: "This is a UP leader at Station B who specializes in teaching tactics and team building!"
"That's just a layman..." Du Juan murmured.
"Teacher, Teacher Lu has already taught you about these abnormal states!"
"Teacher Lu explains the knowledge about 'poisoning' in more detail than in the book!"
Du Juan looked defeated and whispered in a low voice: "Anyway, let's turn the book to page 36 first..."
Suddenly, Du Juan raised her eyebrows and quickly walked up to the two students who were talking with their heads down.
Taking the tablet away from them, Dujuan smiled proudly: "Come to my office after class!"
After being a teacher for so many years, I finally haven’t received anything!
The two students looked pale: "I finally defeated Dr. Squid King!"
"Teacher, let me finish this level!"
"Playing games in class..." Du Juan muttered, "No, let's talk about it later!"
…
The bell rang, Du Juan returned to the office, looked at the confiscated tablet computer, and said curiously:
"What game is this?"
"Plants vs. Zombies!" the student replied, "I just downloaded it from ORAS today!"
"It's only twenty yuan!" Another boy's eyes lit up, "Teacher Dujuan, why don't you come and play too!"
Du Juan smiled coldly: "I won't play such a boring tower defense game!"
Twenty minutes later...
"Teacher Dujuan, aren't you going to class yet? Class has already started ten minutes ago," the staff reminded.
"Wait until I finish this level..."
Du Juan was suddenly startled and stammered, "What? Class has already begun?!"
"I, I, I will go right away!"
Du Juan hurriedly closed the tablet, but forgot to save it, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Can this be suspended... Why are you so high-spirited!"
The same scene was staged in various places in Fengyuan.
Due to the popularity of ORAS in the Hoenn region, "Plants vs. Zombies" became a hit overseas.
As a member of the chat group.
Mr. Tie Xuan from Zijin City called Lu Ye early in the morning.
Tie Xuan grinned broadly and said: "Lu Ye, can you give me the old man's strategy? A cheat device will do too!"
"How could anyone ask the author for a cheat device?"
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's just that it's so fun, I came here to tell you!"
The popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies" really exceeded Lu Ye's surprise.
As a work released on August 1st, due to the inconspicuous recommendation of "new game released".
In just three days, "Plants vs. Zombies" has entered the top ten of the new game list.
The work, priced at 20 yuan a copy, sold more than 5,000 copies in three days, and this was with almost no publicity.
It has a 95% positive rating, "rave reviews", and has received lengthy recommendations from nearly ten game reviewers.
This kind of tap water and positive reviews are rare even for game works from major manufacturers.
"It's hard to imagine that this is a game produced by a small studio. It can be rated five stars in terms of gameplay and completion!"
"I am a fan of Teacher Lu. I bought this game as soon as I watched the video. I thought it was a fan work for game lovers, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting! Five-star praise!"
"I beat Dr. Squid King all night, and I have to challenge the gym tomorrow morning... I'm tired and I don't like it anymore."
"Teacher Lu can also make games? Are the games he makes so fun? I'm so annoyed. It's not worth recommending!"
"I asked my mother for 20 yuan to buy a textbook. My mother asked me what it was. I said that this textbook can not only remember the evolution of elves, but also remember the characteristics, restraints, and moves... Yes, it is "Plants vs. Zombies"
!”
Looking at the screen full of positive comments and the background data that keeps scrolling.
Brother Dayou was so excited that he grabbed Lu Ye's hair: "Brother Lu Zi, you are so popular!"
"Stop it." Lu Ye was very calm.
With systematic skill support, Lu Ye has almost restored the essence of the original version, and even incorporated elements of the elf world.
Overall, Lu Ye still has a certain degree of confidence.
"This is also a part of your contribution." Lu Ye said with a smile,
"I just write code... Besides, we have a contract in advance. It is an employment relationship, not a cooperative relationship." Liang Dayou shook his head.
If you say you are not jealous, that would be a lie.
But Brother Dayou studied law and has an innate sense of justice, so he has not been unfairly treated in terms of salary.
Without Lu Ye's creativity, Liang Dayou knew that he would never be able to create such a popular game.
"In the future, it will be enough if my name can be added to the staff list of the studio!" Liang Dayou smiled innocently.
"no problem!"
"By the way, what is the name of our studio?"
Lu Ye thought about it, since it was a studio, he originally wanted to call it ‘GameFreak’.
But it is necessary to establish a company in the future...
When it comes to Pokémon IP, people have to think of the master of the world, Nintendo.
Unfortunately, without the foundation of the FC era, it is difficult for sewer workers to make a deep impression on others.
As the ancestor of SRPG, Fire Emblem is obviously not a wise choice to make a war chess game now.
MOBA games have just emerged in this world...
If we learn from the success of that game in the future...
"Let's call it Pokémon Studio."
Lu Yedao: "The theme is mainly related to elves, so that those who are restricted by conditions and cannot conquer elves can also feel the charm of elves!"
