Since the town cedes control of how zombies might attack over to the player through customization, the team decided to add the element of road trips to the game so developers could create their own settings. That needed to be in a place all of its own so we could use the whole screen and give you more room to play." "In addition to the town, we really wanted a place for the new combat mechanics to shine. "Having a home base that you could expand and customize to defend from stronger zombies over time also provides a central social hub where your friends can visit and play," Pignol said. Mathilde Pignol, creative director for the game, said that the concept started with idea of a town as a place where you needed to grown your plants and defend from zombie attacks. "One of the opportunities with Facebook is that it makes playing with your friends that much easier because they are already connected."
"Facebook itself provided some unique opportunities and challenges," Bereton said.
That inherent Facebook social structure was one of the key reasons developers PopCap Games decided to make a Facebook version of the game, said Curt Bereton, executive producer for the free-to-play game. The more a person plays, the more zombies they unlock that can be unleashed on friends. The game also allows players to call in zombie hordes on their Facebook friends who play the game. Zombies had the player defending from zombies that always marched across horizontal lanes of grass, this new Zombies game has the zombies attacking along cobblestone pathways that sometimes criss-cross, turn right angles or divide. The game brings with it ten new zombie types, 11 new plants, and most importantly, a personalized neighborhood that players will work to customize, expand, and, yes, defend from roving bands on zombies. And those defensive plants now have to be grown ahead of time. Zombies Adventures, players will still protect their home from an army of cartoonish zombies with defensive plants, but now they'll also take to the road, traveling in a beat-up RV to zombie hot spots where they'll have to defend their home on wheels from zombies that can attack from any direction. Zombies, master of smartphones, tablets and computers, makes a leap to Facebook this week with an intriguing twist on the game's winning formula.
