Chapter 33 Plagiarism? i'm not worried
Afterwards, the elder brother and younger sister began to ask this and that, a gesture of vowing to break the casserole and ask the end.
Little girl Meng hugged her brother's arm even more, with a look in her eyes, 'Brother, our family is rich! ’ look of excitement.
But the second elder is more worried and nervous, for fear that his son has done something illegal with so much money.
So Meng Shu was very helpless. He used his mobile phone to check the company's qualifications on the spot, and let them see the legal representative before he was relieved.
Although the two elders still don't seem to understand.
But as long as they know that it is a formal way, they don't think much about anything else.
Then the two elders chose to resign under Meng Shu's persuasion, but said they would not resign from the urgent job.
After all, resigning from an urgent job will deduct the one-month wages. Although it is only two to three thousand yuan, the second boss is a hard-working person and someone who has experienced it. For them, two to three thousand yuan is earned by blood and sweat. Never give up.
So Meng Shu, who has a net worth of tens of millions, has no choice but to stop persuading her.
After finishing the hot pot, little girl Meng went back to her room and searched the computer for games made by her brother.
Half an hour later, I saw my younger sister running to Meng Shu's room with a VR, saying that she didn't dare to play alone, so she simply robbed her brother's computer and played "Blackjack".
As a result, he played until 1 o'clock in the morning, screaming from time to time, and was pushed back to his room by Meng Shu, who couldn't sleep.
Since the "Face" project officially started, Meng Shu has been very busy every day.
He not only started to develop the game, but also went to the motion capture room to guide the action shooting.
In addition, Xia Nianzhen's mansion scene was changed again and again, and the location was always inappropriate.
Considering that she is not an architect, she does not have a precise grasp of the area and structure of the house, so this type of game is also a challenge and temper for her, and it is inevitable to make mistakes from time to time.
In contrast, modeler Qiu Yuan and animator Xu Hong are much better.
Basically every day, engineering documents will be sent to him for confirmation.
In such a busy environment, the development of the game is progressing steadily.
Boss Meng didn't have time to recruit people to do game transplants, nor did he have time to buy a house for himself to find a new office space.
He's diving headfirst into making the game now, giving it his all.
Until another month passed, under his work, the progress of "Face" has achieved good results in all aspects.
For example, the scene Xia Nianzhen was in charge of has been restored to at least nine floors under Meng Shu's guidance, and he only needs to adjust the rest.
There is also Qiu Yuan, after approval, he went to recruit a modeler to share his huge workload, and the progress was stable.
The other is the animator Xu Hong, who occasionally participates in motion capture for Meng Shu to shoot in person, and works overtime afterwards to adjust the motion files, doing his best.
With the joint efforts of all members of the company, the first two chapters of "Face" have been developed in just two months.
Of course, among them, Meng Shu did the most things.
Fortunately, he has a development engine that monkeys can use to complete the first two chapters of the game in such a short time.
You must know that in the original world, this game has been developed for several years!
Fortunately, the focus of this game is on the rendering of the plot and atmosphere, so there is no brilliant music, which also saves Meng Shu from making music.
But some basic music is still available. For this, the score included in the conceptual design has been given to Infinity Online Entertainment, and they are asked to arrange a record company to produce the music. This is also the job of their publishers.
With such efforts, another week passed, and the progress of the game was like a train on the track, progressing rapidly.
But at this moment, Meng Shu received an emergency call from Infinity Entertainment.
The person who came was the supervisor Lian who had been communicating with him for a long time.
"Plagiarism?"
In the office, Meng Shu crossed his legs and listened to the news from Supervisor Lian on the phone with a frown.
[Yes, Mr. Meng, haven’t you paid attention to the latest games released? One of them is very similar to "Dark Forest", and it is also a survival horror, called "Dense Forest Horror". ]
Meng Shu: .
Can this name be lowered a bit?
"Well, so what's going on?"
Supervisor Lian on the other end of the phone was stunned when he heard Meng Shu's unresponsive words, and made a sound with some doubts.
[Mr. Meng, this game has copied your gameplay, it seems to have settings, and stitched some other game elements into it, which is equivalent to changing the skin of your "Dark Forest" and adding something else Take it out and sell it. ]
"I know, what's wrong with that?"
Pity Manager: .
[Mr. Meng, your game has been plagiarized, is there any problem? ? ]
The female voice on the other end of the phone seemed very surprised, as if she couldn't understand why Mr. Meng, a businessman, didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.
In her opinion, that is selling his game with the popularity and traffic of your game!
Even if you, the developer, don't care, then we, as publishers, have to express our attitude!
This can be regarded as making money by borrowing our games!
Meng Shu sat in front of the computer, shrugged, straightened his posture, and touched the mouse.
"Which platform?"
[ah? ]
Director Lian froze for a moment, then immediately reacted.
[Cyber platform and Xiyou platform, Xiyou is our domestic competition platform, and behind it is a listed company similar to ours, called Jiyou Network. ]
Technology game network?
No impression
Meng Shu shook his head, directly clicked on the cyber platform, and searched for "Dense Forest".
When he saw the search results, he was taken aback for a moment, with some disbelief on his face.
Good guy!
This game it actually.
Sell 168 yuan! ?
Is this a masterpiece?
I only sell it for 69 yuan!
"Is this game so expensive?"
Meng Shu casually clicked in, ready to find out.
Hearing this, Supervisor Lian immediately explained.
[The consistent style of technical games, the prices of the games they develop are generally two to three times higher than the average, and the games they release are also twice as expensive as those on the market no matter whether they are good or bad. There has even been a sudden price increase after seeing good sales within an hour of release. ]
Meng Shu frowned when he heard the news, why did he have a strong sense of familiarity? But after thinking about it for a while, isn't this the parallel world version of SE?
The high price in the country, as well as the sudden price increase of "Neil Automata", and the famous pricing unit "Octopath Traveler", all of them are taking advantage of the players in the country.
So that after the market failure of the high-investment "Marvel Avengers" and "Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy", players expressed their desire to open champagne.
Meng Shu didn't have much affection for such a manufacturer. After expressing that he understood, he watched all the videos and screenshots in the "Dense Forest" display column.
Finally came to a rough conclusion.
If "Dark Forest" is a purpose-made pixel-like style, then this "Jungle Forest" is a completely messy picture quality.
The angle of view also adopts a vertical downward angle, but the movement of the characters looks very floating, without the heavy feeling of "Dark Forest".
The picture of the whole game looks very clean, not as dark and weird as "Dark Forest".
This is obviously when modeling, the material has not been processed, so the game screen looks new and clean.
Others, I don’t know much about them at the moment, after all, he hasn’t played them yet.
And the manufacturer is not a fool, the pictures and videos naturally show the good side of the game.
The bad parts, only you will know after playing.
Meng Shu slid down the mouse and looked at the game introduction.
There are many contents, roughly meaning:
'You are an ordinary intelligence officer, and you obtained a piece of intelligence that could change the victory of the war during the mission. When you escaped with information, you accidentally strayed into this jungle. Then you discovered that there is an unknown witch in this area! During the day, you have to explore the jungle, searching for useful items. At night, you must use these items to fend off witch attacks in the jungle. Your purpose is to survive, travel through the dense forest, and deliver information! '
Hmm. It's quite interesting just by reading the introduction, but...
Meng Shu looked at the game evaluation, it was not beautiful there.
"The game was released the day before yesterday, and the number of reviewers was 96, um. Mostly bad reviews."
Director Lian nodded in agreement, with a hint of a smile.
[Yeah, the game is not copied well, the quality is not high, and players just don’t buy it. ]
Meng Shu looked at the reviews, and found that there were very few positive comments, and most of them were scolding.
Passers-by with a duration of 0.4 hours:
"I thought it was the spiritual sequel of "Dark Forest", but it turns out what the **** is this?"
Passers-by with a duration of 3 hours:
"Read the article for 2 minutes, there are air walls everywhere, the picture quality is rotten, the judgment of the shooting fan, the witch has no brains and piles of blood, and I played my cerebral hemorrhage, wow!"
Passers-by with a duration of 1 hour:
"I believe you said that this game is used for money laundering. "Dark Forest" can't be copied right in front of you. Horror games are the scourge of you **** manufacturers! And you are not a horror game!"
Passers-by with a duration of 1.4 hours:
"It is not recommended to buy, the game is obviously not well polished. The naked eye is poor, and the optimization is not good, and the price is not close to the people. If you know everything, you really have a technical game. It is recommended to start after a discount. You can play "" Dark Forest, this is a horror game!"
Passers-by with a duration of 1.4 hours:
"You know how to make a horror game, if you don't know how to do it, don't pollute this category, Zhuo! Seeing that other people make money, immediately make a garbage ring money, and sell it for 168. It's obviously a scam, get lost!"
Passers-by with a duration of 0.5 hours:
"I'm a fool."
After reading the comments, Meng Shu also had a general understanding of the game, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Manager Lian was a little confused about the young entrepreneur's mind.
[Mr. Meng, this game has been suspected of plagiarism, and we are going to let the legal department sue them. ]
Hearing this, Meng Shu shook his head.
"I don't care. It's up to you what you want to do. After all, you are the publisher. But like I said before, I don't worry about other manufacturers making horror games to carve up the market, and I don't care whether they copy my game or not. "
"In a sense, their plagiarism, regardless of its quality, will promote us sideways, which is a good thing. Besides, they only copied the gameplay and some settings, and the plot is original. They're pretty professional."
"However, if the plagiarism of gameplay can be sued successfully, more than half of the shooting games on the market will suffer. Not to mention"
Meng Shu smiled and lit a cigarette.
“.Without their disadvantages, how can we highlight our advantages?”
"So, copy it, I don't care. But I don't know if it's a good thing because it's released at the time when the "Face" trailer is announced."
Director Lian on the other end of the phone, Ming Rui, noticed the key words in this sentence.
["Face". Trailer? Mr. Meng, has your game been developed enough to release the trailer? ]
Meng Shu took a breath of the cigarette and let it out slowly. Hearing this, he laughed.
"Not only can you announce the trailer, but you can also announce the release date. It just so happens that you can also help me promote it on Vbo. After all."
Meng Shu pressed the switch button, and soon, the computer screen jumped to the video upload page of Danmaku.com.
And the progress bar above has shown 100% and a reminder that the review has passed!
". After all, the trailer just happened to be uploaded successfully."
The trailer of the game is not easy to describe, so the trailer is written in the form of a movie trailer.
Thanks for the support of the monthly ticket of "I want to eat bananas"!
