Plants vs Zombies is definitely one of the most famous and popular tower defense games of all time.At the time of 2005 - 2008, the offline and online games of Tower Defense seemed to be saturated with a series of representatives with identical gameplay constantly appearing on systems like phones and PCs. . Nobody thinks that this series can be more groundbreaking, because basically this series is pretty monotonous and there is not so much land left to create.
However, things have changed dramatically when PopCap has launched Plants vs Zombies. On May 5, 2009, designer George Fan and his colleagues came up with a game of plants against living corpses. After 10 years, this game has become a history and is an irreplaceable monument of the game village to date.
Recently, designer George Fan shared his design materials and initial sketches on Twitter to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this game's birthday.
According to George Fan's share, the original enemies of the plants are intended to be aliens, not zombies, especially those from Insaniquarium - the game he released earlier. But when he finished his first zombie drawing, he changed his mind, and the sketch also served as a great inspiration to the final design we saw in the game.
In addition, another element not included in the original design is sunflowers. Initially, the author calculated to include tubers that need to be watered and then spit on harvest to make money. However, it is clear that the idea of sunflowers is more interesting and attractive.
In addition, Fan once wanted to start with 6 lanes and not 5. He even considered not providing the lane to let the gamers build their labyrinth to lead their enemies into. However, this intention has changed, and then the player can open one more way by going further in the game.
In the end, he also revealed the "dance" of zombies at the end of the game. Accordingly, this dance was inspired by a funny video called "Finnish Disco" on Youtube.
It must be said that Plants vs Zombies has brought great experiences for gamers. Unfortunately, we can no longer see the later parts of PvZ done by George Fan. After Popcap is sold to EA, the father of Plants vs. Zombies refused to turn their game into a boring game, EA's money-making tool and then got fired from the company.
