Plagiarism is a common occurrence in the gaming industry.

Many games even copied a classic and became a milestone in the history of gaming

As for plagiarism, in many cases, as long as it is not a direct use of code, original paintings, modeling, etc., then the borrowing of gameplay will generally not be recognized as plagiarism in law.

In the past year, there have been countless cases of plagiarism, but very few of them have been judged by the court to be plagiarism.

Tianyi also did not plagiarize, or rather, they started by plagiarism.

They have a lot of experienced planners, and these people can guess the producer's idea and deduce the rest of the game's gameplay based on the core of the game as shown in the demo version of other games.

Even with just a beta version, or even a demo of a few minutes, they can see the core fun of the game and deduce a lot more ways to play it.

Through the brain advantage brought by a lot of planning, it can even make other people's core gameplay more interesting, and expand the relevant influence through capital publicity, and finally achieve the absurd thing of plagiarism and killing the original.

Afterwards, Tianyi will also use the other party's corpse as a case, packaging the original clone as a competition to cover up his past.

On top of that, they have the advantage of having a wealth of art and programming resources.

After all, Tianyi is a decades-old factory, and the company has been laying out 3D for a long time, and has accumulated a lot of art resources and 3D technology.

There are also a large number of reusable resources in the huge art library, and these resources are Western, classical and modern, and 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 big killer weapon that is being experimented.

It's the AI program module.

There are specialized AI programmers within Tianyi, who constantly feed various codes to the AI program, and the final result is that as long as the plan is written according to the specified specifications, the program will automatically meet more than eighty percent of the work.

Although it is still not enough to replace the programmer, 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 in his mind and flipping through the information provided by product operations, Zhang Ping's brain was running rapidly.

It didn't take long for him to come up with an idea of how much it would cost to copy Dark Builders and the future of the game.

By cooperating to build different buildings and fend off the threat of the Dark Tide, each battle can be short-lived, and this fast-paced game is very much in line with the current market.

The cooperative mode will have some light social attributes, and voice can be turned on during the game, but voice communication is turned off by default, which avoids the existence of pressure monsters and also meets the player's light social needs.

The gameplay is simple, but the feedback from the market has been good. Through an anonymous questionnaire, the product operation found that this game has a good reputation, but some players also have some criticism of pixel style.

Then, by optimizing the art and grafting some paid elements and other function points, it is very likely that the game will reach a monthly revenue of more than 100 million.

Looking at the emptiness, Zhang Ping felt that it was not too late for the other party to wake up.

He's a game maker who makes money, not a producer who makes good games.

Recently, Tianyi Head Office has released several good games, and the response is quite good among the player group, which belongs to the type of applause and popularity.

In contrast, the Rongcheng branch, which was once pinned on high hopes, has not performed well recently.

In addition, the previous producer of Flying Studios announced his retirement, which made him quite stressed, and he urgently needed some good games to appear to boost morale, and also told the boss that they were also working hard.

Therefore, although plagiarism is not a glorious thing, especially if the object of plagiarism is still an indie game, as long as the plagiarism is successful enough to completely compare the other party, then the player will only remember the winner in the end, and the loser is not worthy of a name.

patting the empty shoulder, Zhang Ping said: "Don't worry about doing it boldly, the company supports you." ”

After a pause, Zhang Ping continued: "But once it fails, then someone has to take the blame for this matter." You know what I mean, right? ”

Sora nodded.

As a producer who often lets others take the blame, he certainly knows how big the pot is if he fails.

This will be a big gamble on one's past reputation.

It's too late to get out of the way now, but he's used to sitting on the throne and calling the wind and rain in his studio, just like the Earth Emperor.

The taste of power is more wonderful than anything else, and you will never forget it.

Skywing's reaction speed is extremely fast.

In the morning, it was decided to start the project, and in the afternoon, the empty studio was reorganized again.

A group of programmers and curators who had been tested to accept 007 were brought in to act as members of the studio.

The outsourcing of the game was full, and Tianyi once again went all out for a project, and began to make new games non-stop at an almost crazy speed.

The game's code isn't complicated, and while there's no reverse engineering to crack the code for Dark Builders, the code and art assets for Dungeon of Kings are ready-made, and you can build a similar effect by reskinning the model and adjusting the camera angle.

And when programmers art and planning are working overtime frantically, there is no idleness.

He began researching gameplay for Dark Builders, and he played the demo several times a day, with new ideas coming up each time.

What a genius producer.

The other party's ideas are imaginative, but they are eclectic, and its maker doesn't feel like a mature producer, but the things he makes are full of aura, which makes the other party feel that the other party is definitely another genius after Fang Cheng.

However, to his dissatisfaction, all he got was the demo version.

The game was not officially released, but was only circulated privately, and the living immortals of the game maker did not seem to be interested in making money with the game, and the game was only made out of love.

The official version only appeared once, and according to interview logs, the official version was not officially released, but the addition of magic weapons made the game very interesting.

After thinking about it for a while, Kongkong 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 it.

Three days later, Wang said that a special guest had come to the game's live broadcast room.

At that time, Lao Wang was broadcasting a niche game.

This game is obviously a horror game, but in the process of live broadcasting, there is almost no high-energy warning in the barrage, and the players are also happy, and Lao Wang laughed several times, filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The author of the game was very thoughtful, and he seemed to have gotten tired of the common ghosts, so he replaced them with aliens.

The reason for the villain's injury is packaged as an alien who wants to arrest people for experiments, and the villain's elusive behavior is also packaged as alien teleportation.

But the problem is that the alien sound effects in this game are all made by the creators themselves.

Without changing anything, the alien's voice when attacking sounded like a screaming chicken, and every time he heard it, it would make Lao Wang and Xiao Zhao laugh uncontrollably.

After the audience's prompt, Lao Wang replaced the sound effect, but the effect was even more explosive.

Because he replaced it with "Good Luck Comes".

Whenever the aliens appear, the whole live broadcast room will sound cheerful "Good Luck Come", which makes an inferior horror game, but brings an unprecedented, festive atmosphere of the upcoming New Year.

After clearing the game with difficulty, Lao Wang looked at the time and felt that he should rest.

Today is a weekday, and there are not many people in the live broadcast room. Most people are also busy playing the demo version of Dark Builders and don't have time to watch him.

So Lao Wang maintained his popularity a little, and then he was ready to go.

But at this time, the small spaceship flew by, and the screen was full of special effects, and a local tyrant appeared at this time and sent a big gift.

See the small flying boats that fly by. Lao Wang jumped up directly, pulled the microphone and said excitedly: "Alas, thank you for the little spaceship sent by Lao Tie." Thank you to the owner, the owner is atmospheric. ”

However, after looking at the other party's ID, Lao Wang found that this ID seemed to be new and had never been seen before.

Just when Lao Wang hesitated, the other party suddenly sent a private message.

[Mr. Wang, I like your live broadcast very much, and I watch every episode of your complaint, and I benefit a lot every time. 】

As soon as the other party came up, he praised himself, which made Lao Wang a little happy, but also a little alert.

It shouldn't be that the old fans are tricking themselves, after all, those guys are about to go to the sky one by one after rewarding.

After considering the choice of words, Lao Wang replied cautiously and politely: [Thank you for the compliment, thank you for your little spaceship. 】

[You're welcome, this is what you deserve, Mr. Wang. Actually, I have a reluctant request, I especially like the game you streamed earlier, Dark Builders. But as you know, all of the things that have been circulating in the market lately are demo versions. So I want to ask, can you send me the official version over there and let me play for a while? I promise that I will only play this game alone, and it will definitely not be passed on. 】

In the face of the other party's request, Lao Wang immediately replied: [I'm sorry, that game belongs to a friend of mine, and that friend has taken care of me, so don't spread it for the time being. 】

[But Mr. Wang, I really want to play, please.] Do you still lack a small spaceship, I can reward as many as I want. 】

Seeing the other party's sincere attitude, Lao Wang instantly became alert.

Obviously, you can play the official version in another ten days, why is the other party suddenly so eager at this time?

He knew that there would be local tyrants who would spend a lot of money on the game, but that kind of thing was basically a legend.

Besides, you really want to play so much, why don't you contact the author directly, what do you mean by looking for me?

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Lao Wang said that the game quickly found the administrator, and immediately sealed the small spaceship he received after reporting the matter.

Then, he contacted other streamers and asked them not to spread the official version between them.

After receiving a definite reply, he sent another private message to the person who had given him the tip:

I don't know who you are, and I don't know what your purpose is. I apologize to you if you get it wrong. But your behavior of constantly asking for the official version, I feel very wrong. Although my old Wang likes money, he is not a person who can do nothing for money. 】

[I have sealed the chat between us, and I reserve the right to use legal weapons to defend my rights. I don't know what you want to do, but please don't. Finally, I apologize if I got something wrong. 】

After replying, Lao Wang saw that the other party's input box had been typing, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Although he didn't know the true purpose of the other party, Lao Wang felt that he had done the right thing.

With a breath of turbidity, he immediately contacted the living immortals and told the other party the whole thing as it was.

Seeing the news that Lao Wang said about the game, the immortal in the world replied after a while: [Thank you, I know. 】

[Politeness. 】

After replying, Lao Wang was relieved

Lao Wang said that the game was not so kind, he was just keeping the promise between himself and the living immortals, even if he lost tens of thousands of yuan because of it, it didn't matter.

Even if it's tens of thousands......

Tens of thousands of dollars......

Banging his head on the table, Lao Wang felt a little stupid.

That's tens of thousands!

But if there is a next time, Lao Wang should still do it.

At the other end of the network cable, Fang Cheng also had a whim and calculated a hexagram for himself.

His skills in divination have never been very deep. At this time, it can only be calculated that this matter is probably related to the emptiness of Tianyi.

Doing the math again, he found that this time the result was uneventful, and no matter what happened, just ignore it.

So, he stopped caring about those things and continued to meditate.

And in the empty studio, the empty space sighs when he knows that he is going to fail.

Lao Wang said that the game was a bit greedy for money, and he thought that he could get the official version by rewarding, but he didn't expect it to work.

But it doesn't matter, he can probably guess the usage of the magic weapon and add the use of the magic weapon to his own game.

Not only that, but he will also add more and more interesting designs.

Bloodlines, pets, beasts, equipment, forging......

He released all these former payment points, and lowered the payment depth, so that players can get strong feedback after micro-krypton.

In terms of stats, he has made a lot of adjustments to the numerical planning, so that the first three days of this game will definitely make players happy.

The campaign was ready, and fifteen days of high workload was enough for them to build a preliminary model of the game and keep players entertained with the game.

In subsequent releases, they will develop the game step by step, so that players will have a new experience every week.

When everything was ready, Dark Guardians, the revamp of Empty Studios, was released.

Although it only took fifteen days, the game was up to the best level they could in all aspects, and the overwhelming publicity instantly put the game in front of the players' eyes, allowing them to see the game whenever they wanted.

Compared to "Dark Guardian", the object of its reference, the launch of "Dark Builder" seems to be very simple.

It's not even officially on sale, it's just a sentence on its newly built website.

"I'm coming."
