Chapter 242
How scary is it when Penguins assemble their team to tackle a game genre?
In just one week, the art team has determined the basic art style, characters, pet sketches, UI design styles, art backgrounds, etc., and on this basis, some character models have been established.
Horror, right?
It is no exaggeration to say that Penguin has industry-leading R&D efficiency, not to mention that Penguin also has a well-known "in-house horse racing" culture, and there may be multiple teams competing for the same type of product, which means that the Group's product line needs to have multiple R&D capabilities for horse racing.
The project made by Linlang Sky J4 Center is similar to the "Cool Running Every Day" on the market, a side-scrolling cool running game. The other project of Aurora Studio has a lot of innovation in the game mode, the new type is Cool Running 3D, and the Cool Running game is placed in the 3D game mode to see if it can produce a magical chemical reaction.
A lot of times developing a game is like a witch alchemy, changing the gameplay, characters, adding some other things, and then quietly seeing if these substances can be mixed together to produce wonderful sparks.
It's not uncommon to have completely original games, but the vast majority of games on the market today are actually developed by standing on the shoulders of those who came before them, and a closer look at one game can always find a similar shadow.
Super Mario Kart, launched in 1992, was a new breed of game that people at the time had never seen before. You can defy gravity and jump over cliffs, get smashed by a big stupid Thwomp, merge with Luigi, and experience all sorts of Mario-style power-ups - such as eating mushrooms to speed up instantly, eating stars to enter invincibility mode, red or green turtle shells to knock enemies flying, and more.
Mario Kart has opened up and defined a new genre of games, and the originators of almost all of them will inevitably be cloned and borrowed by other merchants, and Mario is no exception.
SEGA's Sonic Drift on GAME GEAR in 1994 became the first game of its kind, followed by Ubisoft's Street Racer in the same year, and Miracle Designs' Atari Karts on Atari Jaguar.
"Running Kart", "Crazy Racing", "QQ Speed" and whatever, these are all said to be apprentices and grandchildren!
Is Super Mario Kart the originator of the racing genre?
No!
Going back even further, in 1974, the first car-related game appeared, and it was called Gran Trak10. However, the game's car tracks are made up of pixels.
Because of this idea of 'standing on the shoulders of giants', game planners and designers are actually very calm when they learn from a certain game, which is a common thing.
It is not uncommon for the game industry to learn from each other, and once a certain type of gameplay suddenly becomes popular, similar game manufacturers will follow suit and learn from it.
They have almost no psychological burden, but players don't think so, especially the players of "Cool Running Every Day", who found that this gameplay copied "Cool Running Every Day" in the game area of "Cool Running for All", everyone couldn't sit still.
Among the domestic game manufacturers, it is estimated that in the minds of players, except for penguins, no one dares to stand up and claim it.
The title of 'repeat plagiarist' alone nailed the penguin to the pillar of shame, no matter what it was to scold the 'penguin'.
"Here it is again, here it is again, that familiar plagiarism maniac is here again!"
Under the topic of '#δΌιΉ ζθ’#' on Weibo, countless players of "Cool Running Every Day" have commented here.
"I just brushed up on the advertisement for "Cool Running for All", and my first thought at the time was that this was not a copy of "Cool Running Every Day"? Even the name is so similar!"
"Can the things of a reader be called copying? Is that called borrowing and understanding?" The strong desire to survive made this netizen add a dog head to the back of his Weibo.
"Disgusting!" said a netizen briefly.
Of course, there are a lot of penguins who scold, and there are still many people who help Tencent refute under the topic.
"Scolding others for plagiarism all day long, and then don't you still lick your face and continue to use other people's products?"
The above Weibo is considered to have completely provoked public anger, and if you say it well, it is estimated that there will not be so many people scolding him in the comment area.
"I won't talk about mobile phone QQ, because there is no alternative product on the market, so this has to be used. But WeChat has been deleted from my phone, and not only that, but I also asked my relatives and friends to re-register for Bilin!"
"That's right, it's much easier to use than Pro, it doesn't take up much memory, and it's not stuck when you use it. β
"Me too, the best in the world!"
There were so many netizens in the comment area, and the blogger was not afraid at all, and even picked a few replies in the comment area, "Since you are all so bullish, then uninstall the mobile phone QQ." β
These words are pure bar raising.
"There is a lack of bricks and poles like you on the construction site!"
"Hello Gongjing, goodbye Gongjing!"
The words of netizens did not discourage him, but he became more and more courageous, and the comment area turned on the smuggling mode.
"It's like it's like a WeChat that is not plagiarized, don't use neighbors if you have the ability, and the plagiarized WeChat is embarrassed to say!"
His comment was obviously not doing his homework, and he was soon taught a lesson by netizens in the comment area.
"Copy WeChat? You are embarrassed to lick your face and say, Penguin is not plagiarized, mobile phone QQ plagiarized ICQ, if you have to plagiarize this, then WeChat should say that plagiarized the earliest Feixin, Mi Chat is better than WeChat!"
"What about plagiarizing WeChat, which function is not better than WeChat?"
"Okay, okay, don't bar, Penguin's best thing is plagiarism, and it's better than the original after plagiarism, which has to be convinced, and the creativity is not very strong in execution! β
"Learn from it or not, I feel that this hot search was bought by the penguins themselves, and I want you to know that there is such a game, and help them promote it for free!"
Originally, the two waves of netizens still wanted to continue to fight, but the words praised in the comment area made them sober up in vain, why didn't they think of this idea?
Originally, it was a game that had not yet been tested, and only a few screenshots could not explain anything at all, but under the rhythm of people with ulterior motives, the discussion of netizens brought this topic to the fifteenth place on the Weibo hot search list.
Not only that, the four words "Cool Running for All" are definitely one of the words with the highest appearance rate in the topic discussion area.
Buyers are still not as good as selling!
And there is really not much time left for the development of "Cool Running Every Day......
