December 1.

"Legend of the Demon World 2" and "Ori and the Dark Forest" were launched at the same time at 0:00 on the same day, officially kicking off the climax of the dispute between Chuxin Game Studio and Tianxing.

The former is priced at 68, while the latter is also priced at 68!

"He's really evil."

Liang Renfeng looked at Ao Ri, who happened to be online with his own game, and scolded secretly.

In fact, since yesterday, he has followed the instructions given by the shareholders' meeting to operate the reverse bounce of "Legend of the Demon World 2".

However, the steam platform doesn't know what kind of wind is pumping, and it keeps showing an error, and the customer service over there also says that it is a technical problem, and it is trying to adjust.

It was another burst of chickens and dogs, and in the end, in order to support the publicity, Tianxing still chose to go online on time.

I'm zero, you're zero, right? I'm 68 and you're 68 too, right? It's really going to be a head-on one.

Then it can only be a fuss in terms of propaganda.

Liang Renfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.

On the other side, Chuxin Game Studio.

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo."

Luo Bai, who was sitting on the sofa and was asleep, was woken up by Pu Xingyu and the others, he opened his sleepy eyes, shook his head and quickly asked:

"What time is it?"

"In the early morning of December 1st, Ori has been launched."

Pu Xingyu's face was full of excitement, half a year's hard work, it was finally time to see the results.

"Hmm......" Luo Bai took a drink, rubbed his temples, and ran to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.

Inside the Mirror:

[Narrow Road Meeting (in progress!) ）】

[Bound object: "Ori and the Dark Forest" VS "Legend of the Demon World 2"]

[List of sales: 3748:314659]

"The gap is quite big...... Luo Bai smiled slightly, not panicking at all.

When I came back, I saw that in the office, Pu Xingyu and the three of them were sitting in front of Luo Bai's computer like good babies, looking at his steam game backstage.

He couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded:

"What are you doing backstage? You don't see that sales will go up, so why should you do it?

I'm not embarrassed to be here to work overtime with me so late, just one person buys a copy of "Legend of the Demon World 2" to play, let's see how good our opponents are.

Reimbursement. ”

"Huh?" Pu Xingyu raised his voice and asked a little strangely, "Brother Luo, are we making enemies?" ”

Luo Bai raised his eyebrows:

"The enemy is a fart, our four sales can't affect the overall situation, it just so happens that I also want to see what they can do after jumping tickets for so long."

That's the pattern......

Pu Xingyu and the others suddenly felt a sense of pride rise in their hearts.

But seriously, they're also interested in "Tagaea 2".

"Let me see the gap between you and Ori."

Pu Xingyu thought secretly.

Luo Bai has never saved money on hardware, don't look at the current Chuxin Game Studio that doesn't look formal on the outside, but computers, broadband and everything else are the best that can be bought.

With the deduction of 68 from several people's mobile phones, ten minutes later, four copies of "Legend of the Demon World 2" with a size of nearly 2G have successfully settled in the Chuxin Game Studio.

"I don't know if this counts as a kind of minotaur."

Pu Xingyu thought to himself, but manipulated the mouse to open "Legend of the Demon World 2".

Silver Moon, Wasteland, Jungle, Castle......

The princess who was taken captive, the brave man with two pairs of fangs and pale skin, and the demon king whose whole body was tightly wrapped in armor......

The clash of thin swords and giant blades, the elimination of blood mist and dark thunder, and the bloom of the moon like a lotus......

A thin sword seemed to extend from the screen, and with the split of the screen, the main interface of "Legend of the Demon World 2" was also displayed in front of Pu Xingyu's eyes.

The opening animation is really good.

Although it is an enemy army, Pu Xingyu still has to praise it, there is no doubt that it is the first-class level in the industry.

"However, my evaluation is - not as good as Ori!"

[new game]

Load the game!

The plot of Demon World Legend 2 is also narrated.

The protagonist of the story is named "Grace Edward", a baby born in the demon world, but one day abandoned in the human world by a pair of female palms.

He was born weak, and if he hadn't been taken in by well-wishers, he would have died in the depths of the jungle.

But as Grez grew up, his half-vampire appearance was gradually exposed to the villagers.

Soon, word of his deeds reached the royal capital, and the king sent men to recruit him.

The princess of the kingdom is taken captive by the demon king, and the king hopes that Grez can enter the demon world and save the princess.

In this way, in order to understand his life experience, the reason for being abandoned, and in order to save the princess, the protagonist embarks on a journey.

As Grace on the screen passed through the magic gate leading to the Demon Realm, there was a violent vibration from the handle in Pu Xingyu's hand.

In a short time, under the illumination of the silver moon in the sky, our protagonist Grace, a pale half-vampire boy with a Western sword, appears on the wasteland in the picture.

Pu Xingyu smiled like all the old players who have played the legend of the demon world, from the name of the protagonist, and his identity, it is not difficult to see that the protagonist of this work is the child of the previous generation of protagonists "Schiller Edward" and the vampire prince "Lisa Dracula".

"Legend of the Demon World 2" is a beautiful hand of emotion.

Refocus on the game:

In the upper left corner is Grace's big head sticker, a tube of blood, a tube of demons, and a tube of experience slots, which is simple and easy to understand.

According to the game's novice tips, Pu Xingyu quickly mastered all the operations.

"A key" to jump, "X key" to attack, "B key" to interact, "Y key" to unleash magic ......

Pu Xingyu excitedly manipulated the protagonist to slash up and down the air around him for a long time, and then he was satisfied to control the protagonist to walk towards the guidance ahead.

To be honest, "Legend of the Demon World 2" was easy to get started to the point that Pu Xingyu was a little surprised, looking at the skinless monster that was killed under his thin sword, Pu Xingyu's heart gave birth to a great sense of achievement.

Playful!

Even if it is a hostile manufacturer, Pu Xingyu has no way to say the words "not funny" with his conscience.

It's just that playing always brings a sense of familiarity to Pu Xingyu, and I don't know why.

But......

Brother Luo~ I still think it's fun to play games from hostile manufacturers, you won't blame me, right?

Pu Xingyu quietly looked up at Luo Bai at the workstation not far away, but saw that he was playing with the corners of his mouth hooked.

Well, my eldest took the lead in defecting to the enemy.

Hey, hey, he plays and I play.

Pu Xingyu buried his head again and continued to play "Legend of the Demon World 2".

At this time, the protagonist is walking on a long and somewhat excessive road under the manipulation of Pu Xingyu.

There was an empty space on all sides, and there was nothing.

Pu Xingyu's brows furrowed slightly.

Without him, "Legend of the Demon World 2" has been quite compact so far, and the current stinky and long road is obviously extremely dramatic.

Suddenly, an extremely abrupt small mound of dirt in front of him attracted Pu Xingyu's attention, and he manipulated the protagonist to jump high and slash downward!

The ground is falling! A huge hidden space has suddenly reappeared on the map!

"! Brother Luo, our Ori has been plagiarized! ”

Pu Xingyu got up from the workstation with a shocked face, and even the remaining Pang You and Chen Jiabin immediately stood up from the workstation and expressed their attitudes:

"I'm not the only one who feels this way!"

"I'll just say this map design looks familiar, Brother Luo! The Legend of the Disgaea must have plagiarized our creativity! ”

They were playing very awkwardly just now, but because Luo Bai had not made a sound, they continued to play silently, but as soon as Pu Xingyu spoke, the two of them couldn't sit still in an instant.

But when the three pairs of eyes looked at Luo Bai, expecting Luo Bai's anger after being plagiarized, the scene that happened in front of them made them a little incredulous.

"Why all the fuss?"

Luo Bai had a chuckle on his face, looking indifferent.

Seriously, just five minutes into this game, Luo Bai realized that this game was probably copied from Ori.

Collision of ideas?

No, there is no such possibility.

For example, a hidden room hidden behind the background wall just now actually blends very poorly with the map just now, and it is more like a rigid copy.

A layman may not think so, but for Luo Bai, who has an intermediate map design level, there is nothing to hide at a glance.

Considering the time of the second ticket bounce of "Legend of the World 2" at that time, and the time when the Indie Game Festival took place, it is really not difficult to come up with this inference.

I said what the "greater attention" in the introduction of the narrow road encounter was, and it turned out to be waiting for me here.

Tianxing plagiarism for the second time? This time you can take it.

However, when Luo Bai really played this game, he changed his mind.

"Legend of the Demon World 2" is not a simple plagiarism of Ori, he has his own set of things inside.

""Legend of the Demon World 2" is not plagiarism, it can be regarded as a reference."

The conclusion given by Luo Bai, the author of Ori, is naturally full of convincing.

"But......" Pu Xingyu wanted to say something.

"Although we said that Ori made it together, to be honest, there are many things that we don't understand about the core of this kind of game.

Let you read more and increase your skills, one knows how to eat melons every day, one is obsessed with falling in love, and the other would rather watch short videos than improve when he has nothing to do.

You guys! ”

Luo Bai pointed at these people with his fingers, and he was angry.

The three of them bowed their heads and remained silent.

Luo Bai didn't want to say anything, after the end of the Ori, the Chuxin Game Studio will have a big move, don't blame him for being ruthless if he can't keep up, and the ugly words are also ahead.

"Come here." Luo Bai beckoned a few people to come behind him, and then started playing "Legend of the Demon World 2" by himself.

At this time, what appeared in front of the three of them was a completely different scenery from the previous wasteland, which was an underground karst cave.

"Brother Luo, where is this?" Pu Xingyu asked like a curious baby.

"The third level."

"Huh?" Qi exclaimed three times.

They didn't finish the first level here, and Luo Bai jumped directly to the third level?

"This game has a bug, and you can jump the level directly." Luo Bai smiled mysteriously and didn't explain too much.

But this scene really silenced these young men.

A game that has just come out can find game bugs so quickly and accurately, is this Luo Ge......

In addition to the top game producers, they are also top gamers.

Luo Bai's concentration directs the attention of the three of them to the picture again, and our protagonist is obviously in trouble at the moment.

Ahead was a high rock wall, which I couldn't jump over, except for a small passage in the wall that was large enough for a mouse to walk through.

"Look."

With Luo Bai not knowing what to press on the handle, the red cloak behind the protagonist suddenly wrapped him inside, but in an instant, he turned into a tiny bat!

The human form can't make it through such a tiny passage, but bats can!

"! You can still play like this! ”

Pu Xingyu's eyes lit up.

"That's what I said, "Legend of the Demon World 2" is not plagiarism, but the reason for borrowing."

Luo Bai calmly elaborated,

"Seriously, I admire the production team of the Legend of the Demon World.

They were able to dig into the core selling points of these games and add their own stuff with just a demo of my demo at the indie games festival at the time.

Although there are still big flaws in the design of the entire map, they have done a pretty good job in the setting of the ability system!

Whether it's turning into a bat, mobilizing the moonlight to create a platform, or opening the door of the seal with the Scarlet Eye, it perfectly fits the protagonist's identity as a half-vampire.

And the positive drive of the protagonist to activate the bloodline and gain abilities along the way also provides ample playability for the game. ”

Does Brother Luo have such a compliment on other games?

Pu Xingyu's goosebumps are about to come out.

"So, Brother Luo, our Ori ......"

Looking at the worry on Pu Xingyu's face, a big question mark appeared on Luo Bai's brain.

You little dare to doubt us Ori, you won't have to go to work tomorrow!

"I'm not done yet."

Luo Bai's face once again put on that breezy smile,

"'Legend of the World 2' is very good, I would like to call it an excellent 'Aori-like' game!"

"Olympic-like games?"

Pu Xingyu muttered to himself in a distraction.

There is no Metroid in this world, and there is no Castlevania, so the name of this game genre certainly belongs to Ori.

"Yes, the Olympiad-like game."

Luo Bai continued to manipulate the character in his hand, and slowly explained while solving the puzzle created by the game designer who racked his brains,

"Students are always just students, and the current "Legend of the Demon World 2" is still too immature.

Not to mention his sparse feel and flawed map design, in terms of art alone, we can make it impossible to find the north.

Wait quietly, the market will give the answer after all, all the intrigues and tricks are not worth mentioning in the face of real strength! ”

Luo Bai said loudly, and the word "not worth mentioning" seemed to knock on the hearts of several employees, completely shattering the impetuousness in their hearts.

And they really understood why Luo Bai was so calm from beginning to end.

As Luo Bai said in that report:

"The so-called "Legend of the Demon World 2" is just a victim of this new path, nothing more."
