Chapter 118 Here I Come (Third Update)
Plagiarism is a common occurrence in the gaming industry.
Many games even copy a classic and become a milestone in the history of games.
As for plagiarism, in many cases, as long as the code, original painting, modeling, etc. are not used directly, the gameplay reference will generally not be used. Legally considered plagiarism.
In the past year, there have been countless plagiarism incidents, but only a few of them have been actually judged as plagiarism by the courts.
Tianyi also engages in plagiarism, or in other words, they started their business relying on plagiarism.
They have many experienced planners. These people can infer the producer's ideas through clues based on the core of the game shown in the trial version of other games, and deduce the remaining gameplay of the game.
Even if there is only a beta version, or even a demo of a few minutes, they can see the core fun of the game and deduce more other ways to play.
Through the mental advantage brought by extensive planning, it can even make other people's core gameplay more interesting, and expand the relevant influence through capital publicity, ultimately achieving the absurdity of plagiarism and killing the original.
Afterwards, Tianyi would use the other party's corpse as a case, packaging the original clone into competition to cover up his past.
In addition, it has a big advantage, that is, they have rich art and programming resources.
After all, Tianyi is an old factory with decades of experience. The company has been laying out 3D products for a long time and has accumulated a large amount of art resources and 3D technology.
There are also a large number of reusable resources in the huge art library, and these resources include Chinese and Western, classical and modern. These years of accumulation are the foundation of a huge game company, which can greatly reduce their art costs.
In addition, Tianyi also has a killer weapon that is being tested.
It is the AI program module.
There are dedicated AI programmers within Tianyi, who constantly feed various codes to the AI program. The final result is that as long as the plan is written according to the specified specifications, the program will automatically meet more than 80% of the work.
Although it still cannot replace programmers, it can directly reduce the workload of the program by 60%, and there will be almost no bugs afterwards.
Thinking about the company's existing resources and flipping through the information provided by product operations, Zhang Ping's brain was running rapidly.
Not long after, he used the existing information to conceive in his mind the approximate cost of plagiarizing "Dark Builder" and the future of this game.
By cooperating to build different buildings and resisting the threat of the undercurrent, the time of each battle can be very short. This fast-paced game is very suitable for the current market.
The cooperative mode will have some light social attributes. Voice can be turned on during the game, but voice communication is turned off by default, which avoids the existence of stress monsters and meets the light social needs of players.
The gameplay of the game is simple, but the feedback from the market is very good. Through anonymous questionnaires, product operations found that this game has a good reputation, but some players also have some criticisms of the pixel style.
Then, by optimizing the art and grafting some paid elements and other functional points, it is very possible to achieve a game with a monthly revenue of over 100 million.
Looking at Kongkong, Zhang Ping felt that it was not too late for him to wake up.
He is a game producer who makes money, not a producer who makes good games.
Recently, Tianyi Corporation has released several good games, and they have received quite good responses from the player community. They are both popular and well-received.
In comparison, the Chengdu branch, which once had high hopes, has performed poorly recently.
In addition, the producer of Flying Studio announced his retirement, which put him under a lot of pressure. He urgently needed some good games to boost his morale and tell his superiors that they were also working hard.
Therefore, although plagiarism is not a glorious thing, especially when the object of plagiarism is an independent game, as long as the plagiarism is successful enough and the opponent is completely defeated, the player will only remember the winner in the end, and the loser is not worthy. Having a name.
Patting Kong Kong's shoulder, Zhang Ping said: "Go ahead and do it boldly, the company supports you."
After a pause, Zhang Ping continued: "But if it fails, someone will have to take the blame for it. You Do you understand what I mean?"
Kongkong nodded.
As a producer who often lets others take the blame, he certainly knows how big the blame will be if he fails.
This will be a huge gamble on one's past reputation.
It was still too late to get out now, but he was used to sitting on the throne and calling the shots in his studio, just like the earthly emperor.
The taste of power is better than anything else. Once you get it, you will never forget it.
Tianyi's reaction speed is extremely fast.
In the morning, we decided to start the project, and in the afternoon, the empty studio was reorganized again.
A group of program artists and planners who have been proven to be able to accept 007 were transferred over to serve as members of the studio.
The outsourcing of games was full, and Tianyi once again went all out for a project, starting to produce new games non-stop at an almost crazy speed.
The code of the game is not complicated. Although the code of "Dark Builder" has not been cracked through reverse engineering, the code and art resources of "Dungeon of Kings" are ready. Just re-skin the model and adjust the camera angle. A similar effect can be constructed.
And while the programmers, art and planners were working overtime crazily, Kong Kong was not idle either.
He began to investigate the related gameplay of "Dark Builder". He played the content of the demo version several times every day, and he would gain new opinions every time.
What a genius producer.
The other party's ideas were wild and unconventional, and the producer didn't feel like a mature producer, but the things he produced were so spirited that Kong Kong felt that the other party was definitely another genius after Fang Cheng.
But what dissatisfied him was that all he got was the demo version.
This game has not been officially released, but has only been circulated privately. The living immortal who made the game seems not to be interested in making money from the game, and only makes the game out of love.
The official version has only appeared once, and according to interview records, the official version has not been officially circulated, but the addition of magic weapons makes the game very interesting.
After thinking for a while, Kong Kong still wanted to know what the so-called magic weapon looked like.
Although there is no official version on the market now, he knows that someone will definitely have one.
Three days later, Lao Wang said that a special guest came to the game’s live broadcast room.
At that time, Lao Wang was live broadcasting a niche game.
This game is obviously a horror game, but during the live broadcast, there were almost no high-energy warnings in the barrage. The players were also very happy. Lao Wang even laughed several times, and the atmosphere was full of joy everywhere.
The author of the game had an idea and seemed to have grown tired of the usual ghosts, so he replaced them with aliens.
The villain's reason for hurting people is packaged as aliens wanting to capture people for experiments, and the villain's elusive behavior is also packaged as alien teleportation.
But the problem is that all the alien sound effects in this game were made by the creator himself.
Without changing anything, the sound of the alien attack sounds like a screaming chicken, which makes Lao Wang and Xiao Zhao uncontrollably laugh every time they hear it.
After prompting from the audience, Lao Wang changed the sound effects, but the effect became even more explosive. Because he replaced it with "Good Luck Comes".
Whenever aliens appear, the cheerful "Good Luck" will sound throughout the live broadcast room. This makes an inferior horror game bring an unprecedented festive atmosphere as the New Year is about to begin.
After finishing the game with difficulty, Lao Wang looked at the time and felt that he should take a rest.
Today is a working day, and there are not many people in the live broadcast room. Most people are also busy playing the Dark Builder demo and don't have time to watch him.
So Lao Wang maintained his popularity for a while, and then he was ready to go.
But at this moment, a small spaceship flew by, and the screen was filled with special effects. A rich man appeared on the scene at this time and gave a big gift.
Saw the small spaceship flying by. Lao Wang jumped up directly, pulled up the microphone and said excitedly: "Hey, thank you Lao Tie for the small spaceship. Thank you boss, the boss is very generous."
However, after looking at the other party's ID, Lao Wang found that this ID seemed to be a new one. , never seen before.
Just when Lao Wang hesitated, the other party suddenly sent a private message.
[Teacher Wang, I like your live broadcast very much, and I watch every episode of your complaints, and I benefit a lot every time. 】
The other party praised himself as soon as he came up, which made Lao Wang a little happy, but also a little wary.
It's probably not an old fan trying to trick him, after all, those guys rewarded them so much that they almost reached the sky.
After careful consideration of his words, Lao Wang replied carefully and politely: [Thank you for the compliment, and thank you for your little spaceship. ]
[You're welcome, Teacher Wang, you deserve this. Actually, I have one more compliment. I particularly like the game you live streamed before, "Dark Builder". But you also know that all the ones circulating on the market recently are trial versions. So I want to ask, can you send me the official version so I can play it for a while? I promise that I will only play this game by myself and will never let anyone know about it. ]
Faced with the other party's request, Lao Wang immediately replied: [I'm sorry, that game belongs to a friend of mine. That friend has taken care of me and doesn't want to spread it to others for the time being. ]
[But Teacher Wang, I really want to play, please. Do you still lack a small spaceship? I can reward you with as many as you like. 】
Seeing the sincere attitude of the other party, Lao Wang instantly became alert.
We obviously have to wait another ten days to play the official version, why is the other party suddenly so eager at this time?
He knew that there would be rich people who spent huge sums of money on the game, but that kind of thing was basically a legend.
Besides, if you really want to play, why don't you contact the author directly? What do you mean by asking me?
Showing your courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Lao Wang said that the game quickly found the administrator, reported the incident and immediately sealed the small spaceship he received.
Then, he contacted other anchors and asked them not to spread the official version.
After receiving a confirmed reply, he contacted the person who tipped him via private message again:
[I don’t know who you are or what your purpose is. I apologize if I got it wrong. But your behavior of constantly asking for the official version feels wrong to me. Although I, Lao Wang, like money, I am not someone who can do anything for the sake of money. ]
[I have sealed the chat records between us, and I reserve the right to use legal weapons to safeguard my rights. I don't know what you want to do, but please don't do it. Finally, if I got something wrong, I apologize. 】
After the reply was completed, Lao Wang saw that the other party's input box had been typing, but in the end he said nothing.
Although he didn't know the other party's true purpose, Lao Wang felt that he had done the right thing.
After letting out a sigh of relief, he immediately contacted the living immortal and told him the whole thing.
After seeing the message from Lao Wang about the game, the living immortal replied after a while: [Thank you, I understand. 】
【polite. 】
After replying, Lao Wang felt relieved. Lao
Wang said that the game was not that kind. He was just abiding by the promise between himself and the living immortal, and it didn't matter even if he lost tens of thousands of yuan because of it.
Even if it's tens of thousands of dollars...
tens of thousands of dollars...
Banging his head on the table, Lao Wang felt a little stupid.
That’s tens of thousands of dollars!
But if there is a next time, Lao Wang will probably do it again.
On the other end of the network cable, Fang Cheng also made a fortune for himself on a whim.
His foundation in divination has never been very deep. At this time, I can only calculate that this matter is probably related to Tianyi's Kongkong.
Calculating it again, he found that the result this time was uneventful. No matter what happened, just ignore it.
Therefore, he stopped caring about those things and continued to meditate.
In Kongkong's studio, Kongkong sighed after knowing that his petition had failed.
Lao Wang said that the game was a bit greedy for money. He thought he could get the official version through rewards, but he didn't expect it to work.
But it doesn't matter, he can probably guess the use of the magic weapon and add the use of the magic weapon into his game.
Not only that, he will also add more interesting designs.
Bloodlines, pets, mythical beasts, equipment, forging...
He has released all these former payment points and reduced the depth of payment so that players can get strong feedback after micro-Krypton.
In terms of numerical values, he made a lot of adjustments to the numerical planning, so that the first three days of this game will definitely make players happy.
Operational activities are ready. Fifteen days of high-load operation are enough for them to build a preliminary game model and allow players to enjoy the boundless fun in the game.
In subsequent versions, they will carry out step-by-step iterative development of the game so that players will have a new experience every week.
After everything was ready, Kong Kong Studio's remake "Dark Guardian" was released.
Although it only took fifteen days, the quality of all aspects of this game has reached the best level they can achieve. The overwhelming publicity instantly brought this game to the players' eyes, allowing them to play it at any time. Saw this game.
Compared with "Dark Guardian", the object it borrows from, the launch of "Dark Builder" seems very simple.
It's not even officially on sale, just a sentence on its newly built official website.
"I'm here."
Thanks to Monotonous Monotono for the 200-point reward and Time Starry Sky for the 100-point reward.
I will release the second update of I owe Big Brother Qiu tonight, but it may be a little later. If you can’t wait, you can watch it tomorrow morning.
