I think every decision that was made was something that I would want to see in a game anyway. I never felt like they changed anything in the game because PopCap deemed it too hardcore. The game ended up having this crossover appeal more than being a real casual hit that PopCap games traditionally succeed in. Not so much that it was hardcore, but it was an untested concept and while people internally really love the game, there was still a bit of uncertainty about how well it would do.

I think there was a little bit of cautiousness on PopCap's behalf. Zombies was really, really, really, really small compared to other games that came out at the time, like Bejeweled Blitz for instance. The original operating budget for Plants vs. George Fan: There was a little bit of trepidation in terms of- I think it was more that it was a new, untested game concept. Was there ever a resistance to that side of the game, trying to make it more simple when you were getting feedback from the other PopCap guys?

PC Gamer: Plants vs Zombies, and I heard this from PopCap people, seems to skew a little more hardcore than PopCap's usual audience. We're working on something new now and PopCap's letting us do it, and not really getting their hands in too much. I think it'd be nice to get another team in here that was working on a game so that we could test out their games and they could test out our games, and I think we'd have this nice symbiotic situation. I appreciate that, it's a nice balance to get. It's kind of ended up feeling like something in between what I was doing before, in between working independently and working for a company. There were plans to grow the studio out more originally, but instead the studio actually shrunk, so it's just us now. He's a very talented programmer and it's just us two right now. Right now it's just me and a programmer, the one for Plants vs Zombies. George Fan: We have an office pretty close to San Francisco that I do go into and work there. PC Gamer: Do you work in the San Francisco office or do you work from your home? Zombies I tried to look for that but I think it was a good decision to not pursue that direction. Just because it's been done one way before doesn't mean there's not a simpler, more understandable way to do something. I like games that put it all in front of me, and I try to apply that whenever I make a game. I really dislike games when I play them and I have to do a lot of work to understand what's going on. I think it would have ended up being something that I didn't want for the game, too.

George Fan: I think it was more the first than the second. PC Gamer: Was it too complicated for the game, or was it too complicated for PopCap and their ethos?
