Chapter 32 Plagiarism? I'm not worried
After that, the second elder and the little sister began to ask this and that constantly, a posture of vowing to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Meng Xiaoya hugged her brother's arm, revealing a kind of 'Brother, our family is rich!' 's look of excitement.
But the second elder was more worried and nervous, for fear that his son had done something illegal with so much money.
So Meng Shu was very helpless, and checked the company's qualifications with his mobile phone on the spot, so that they were relieved after seeing the legal representative.
Although the second elder still doesn't seem to understand.
But they just need to know that it's a formal way, and they don't think much about anything else.
Then the second elder, under the persuasion of Meng Shu, chose to resign, but said that he would not quit his job.
After all, if you quit your job, you will deduct the month's salary of the pressure, although it is only two or three thousand yuan, but the second old man is a hard-working person, and he is also a person who has come over, and two or three thousand is earned by blood and sweat for them, and they will not give up anything.
Therefore, Meng Shu, who has a net worth of tens of millions, has no choice but to persuade him anymore.
After eating the hot pot, Meng Xiaoya went back to the room directly and searched for the game made by her brother on the computer.
Half an hour later, I saw my sister running to Meng Shu's room with VR, saying that she didn't dare to play alone, so she simply grabbed her brother's computer and played "21 o'clock".
As a result, he played until more than 1 o'clock in the morning, during which he screamed from time to time, and was driven back to his room by Meng Shu, who couldn't sleep.
...
...
Since the official start of the "Face" project, Meng Shu has been busy every day.
Not only did he have to work on the game, but he also had to go to the mocap studio to direct the action shooting.
In addition, there is also Xia Nianzhen's mansion scene, which has also been changed again and again here, and the place is always inappropriate and not done well.
Considering that she is not an architect either, she does not have a very precise grasp of the size and structure of the house, so this type of game is also a challenge and grind for her, and it is inevitable that she will make mistakes from time to time.
On the other hand, modeler Qiu Yuan and animator Xu Hong are much better.
Basically, the engineering documents will be sent to him for confirmation every day.
In such a hectic environment, the development of the game is proceeding steadily.
So much so that Boss Meng didn't have time to recruit people to do game transplants, nor did he have time to buy a house for himself and find a new office space.
He's now diving headfirst into the game, giving it his all.
Until another month passed, with his work, all aspects of the progress of "Face" achieved good results.
For example, the scene that Xia Nianzhen is responsible for has been restored to at least nine layers or more under the guidance of Meng Shu, and the rest only needs to be adjusted by himself.
There is also Qiu Yuan, after approval, he went to hire a modeler to share his huge workload, and the progress was stable.
The other is the animator Xu Hong, who occasionally personally participates in motion capture for Meng Shu to shoot, and works overtime afterwards to adjust the action files, and is conscientious.
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, Meng Shu did the most of this.
Luckily, he had a development engine that could be used by monkeys, so he was able to complete the first two chapters of the game in such a short time.
You know, in the original world, this game has been in development for several years!
But fortunately, the focus of this game is on the rendering of the plot and atmosphere, so there is no outstanding music, which also allows Meng Shu to save the production of music.
But some basic music is still there, and the score included in the concept design has been given to Infinite Net Entertainment, and they have arranged for the record company to produce the music, which is also their distributor's job.
With such efforts, another week passed, and the progress of the game was like a train on the tracks, progressing rapidly.
But at this time, Meng Shu received an emergency call from Unlimited Internet Entertainment.
The person who came was the poor supervisor who had been communicating with him for a long time.
"Plagiarism?"
In the office, Meng Shu crossed Erlang's legs and frowned as he listened to the news from the supervisor on the phone.
[Yes, Mr. Meng, haven't you paid attention to the latest released games, one of which is very similar to "Dark Forest", and it is also a horror survival, called "Jungle Horror". ]
Meng Shu: ......
Can this name be a little lower?
"Well, so what's wrong?"
The poor supervisor on the other end of the phone was stunned when he heard Meng Shu's unresponsive words, and he was a little puzzled.
[Mr. Meng, this game plagiarized your gameplay, it seems that there is still a setting, and some other game elements are stitched into it, which is equivalent to changing your "Dark Forest" and adding something else to take it out and sell it. ]
"I know, what's wrong with that?"
Mr. Pity: ......
[Mr. Meng, your game has been plagiarized, isn't there anything wrong with that!] ]
The female voice on the other end of the phone looked surprised, and seemed to not understand why Mr. Meng, a businessman, didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.
In her opinion, that is using the popularity and traffic of your game to sell his game!
Even if you don't care as a developer, then we, as publishers, should also take a stand!
This can be regarded as making money through our games!
Meng Shu sat in front of the computer, shrugged his shoulders, straightened his posture, and touched the mouse.
"Which platform?"
[Huh?] ]
Director Mercy was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.
[Cyber platform and Xiyou platform, Xiyou is our competitive platform in China, behind it is a listed company similar to us, called Jiyou Network. ]
Technical game network...
Not impressed
Meng Shu shook his head, directly clicked on the cyber platform, and searched for "Jungle Horror".
The moment he saw the search results, he was stunned for a moment, and his face was a little incredulous.
Boy!
This game it's...
Sell for 168 yuan!?
It's a masterpiece, right?
I'm only selling for 69 yuan!
"This game is so expensive?"
Meng Shu casually clicked in, ready to find out.
Hearing this, Director Lian immediately opened his mouth to explain.
[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 publish are twice as expensive as the ones on the market, whether they are good or bad.] There have even been cases of sudden price increases after an hour of release to see good sales. ]
Meng Shu, who heard the news, frowned, how could he have a strong sense of familiarity... But after a little thought, isn't this a parallel world version of SE?
The high price of the country, as well as the sudden price increase of "Nier Machine Age", and the famous pricing unit "Octopath Traveler", are all treating the players in the country as the boss.
So much so that after the market failure of "Marvel's Avengers" and "Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy", which were built with high investment, players said that they would open champagne.
Meng Shu didn't have much affection for such a manufacturer, and after saying that he understood, he watched all the videos and screenshots of the display column of "Jungle Horror".
In the end, a shoddy conclusion was drawn.
If "Dark Forest" is a specially made pixel-like style, then this "Jungle Horror" is completely sparse in quality.
The perspective also adopts a vertical top perspective, but the movement of the characters looks very floating, without the heaviness of "Dark Forest", the feel of the gun is not very visible, and it needs to be experienced, but the sound effect is very cheap.
The graphics throughout the game look clean, not as dim and eerie as in Gloomy Forest.
This is obviously modeled and the material is not processed, so the game looks new and clean.
The rest, I don't know much at the moment, after all, he hasn't played it yet.
And the manufacturer is not stupid, the pictures and videos naturally show the good side of the game.
The bad places can only be known when you play them yourself.
Meng Shu slid down and looked at the game introduction.
There is a lot of content, which roughly means:
'You are an ordinary intelligence officer, and in the course of your mission you have obtained a piece of intelligence that can change the victory of the war. When you fled with the intel and accidentally strayed into this dense forest. Then you discover that there is an unknown existence in this area... Witch! During the day, you'll have to explore the jungle in search of useful items. At night, you must use these items to defend against witch attacks in the jungle. Your goal is to stay alive, travel through the jungle, and pass on information! ’
Well... It's interesting just to look at the introduction, but...
Meng Shu looked at the game evaluation, there, it was not beautiful.
"The game came out the day before yesterday, and the number of reviews was 96, well... Mostly bad reviews. ”
Director Mercy nodded in agreement, with a hint of a smile.
[Yes, the game is not copied well, the quality is not high, and players just don't buy it.] ]
Meng Shu took a look at the evaluation, there were few praises, and most of them were scolded.
Passers-by with a duration of 0.4 hours:
"I thought it was a spiritual sequel to 'The Dark Forest', but it turned out to be Nima's thing?"
Passers-by for 3 hours:
"Read the strip for 2 minutes, there are air walls everywhere, the picture quality is sparse, the judgment of shooting fans, the witch has no brains to pile up blood, and she has played out Lao Tzu's cerebral hemorrhage,!"
Passers-by for 1 hour:
"I believe you say that this game is used for money laundering, and "Dark Forest" can't be copied in front of you, and horror games are the scourge of you garbage manufacturers! And you're not a horror game! ”
Passers-by for 1.4 hours:
"It's not recommended to buy, the game is obviously not polished yet. It's visible to the naked eye, and the optimization is not good, and the price is not close to the people. It is recommended to buy after the discount, and you can play "Dark Forest" in the same genre, which is a horror game! ”
Passers-by for 1.4 hours:
"You'll make a horror game of Nima, if you can't do it, don't pollute this category, blanch! Seeing that others make money, they immediately make a garbage circle money, and sell 168, which is obviously a wave of running away, rolling calves! ”
Passers-by with a duration of 0.5 hours:
"I'm stupid."
After reading the comments, Meng Shu also had a general understanding of this game, and couldn't help but chuckle out loud at the moment.
Director Lian was a little unsure of the young entrepreneur's thoughts.
[Mr. Meng, this game has been suspected of plagiarism, and we are ready 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're the publisher. But like I said before, I don't care if other manufacturers make horror games to carve up the market, and I don't care if they copy my games. ”
"In a sense, their plagiarism, regardless of quality, will sideshow us, which is a good thing. Besides, they only copied the gameplay and some settings, and the plot is still original, which is still professional. ”
"However, if the prosecution for plagiarism can be successful, most of the shooting games on the market will suffer. What's more..."
Meng Shu smiled and lit a cigarette.
“... Without their inferiority, how can we highlight our superiority? ”
"So, copy it, I don't care. However, it was released at the time when the trailer of "Face" was announced, and I don't know if this is a good thing. ”
Director Ming Rui on the other end of the phone noticed the key words in this sentence.
["Face"... Trailer? Mr. Meng, has your game been developed enough to release a trailer? ]
Meng Shu took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled it, and when he heard the words, he smiled.
"Not only can we announce the trailer, but we can also announce the release time by the way. It just so happens that you're also helping me promote it at Vbo. After all..."
Meng Shu pressed the switch button, and soon, the computer screen jumped to the video upload page of the danmaku.com.
And the progress bar above has shown a reminder that 100% has been approved!
“... After all, the trailer happened to be uploaded successfully..."
