Chapter 257 Art Resource Plagiarism Incident

Although there is nothing yet, the barrage has already started arguing just by seeing this game type.

"Oh my god! That's great. This is going to give those traditional MMORPG manufacturers a little shock from Against Heaven! Looking forward to it!"

"As a loyal MMORPG player, I have long been dissatisfied with the current state of these manufacturers. It is a good thing that Against Heaven has taken action!"

"The art style of Against Heaven plus the Western fantasy background, how fun it will be I dare not think about it!"

"Forget it, the MMORPG type has long been dead, and Against Heaven can't save it, I said!"

"Against Heaven is still suitable for independent games. I think MMORPG is probably 8 lines."

"Yeah, it's not compatible."

Lecturer Ding did not express his opinion at the first time, but fell into deep thought while looking at the barrage.

It has to be said that Against Heaven's game is still a set. The promotion of the new game only released a picture and a game type, but it actually triggered such a heated discussion.

Obviously, both the pros and cons of supporting Against Heaven have sufficient reasons.

The affirmative view is that the game of Against Heaven is good at Western fantasy art themes, and its realistic style is unique. This level has even surpassed those foreign giants that were good at making Western fantasy MMORPG games more than a decade ago.

The next-generation game screen, coupled with the top art of Against Heaven, the entire game world is definitely not bad!

Secondly, it is out of trust in the innovation of the gameplay of Against Heaven.

So far, Against Heaven has released many types of games, but each game basically has a big or small innovation point, which always brings surprises to players.

Since the release of these games, it can be said that there are constant minor problems, but no major problems. Overall, they are still very fun.

Even the minor problems in the eyes of some people have become the highlights of the game.

Every game and every type of game does not overturn, which is quite terrifying, and it has also accumulated a very good reputation for Against Heaven, allowing players to trust it unconditionally.

The negative view is that the MMORPG game type is no longer good! It is not against Against Heaven, but all the game companies present are no longer good! It can't be saved!

As for why this type of game is going out of fashion? In fact, there are only a few reasons.

First, MMORPG is destined to be a time-killing game, and what players lack most now is time. It is impossible to spend several hours every day, organize dozens of people to brush the group copy, and then open up the wasteland for a month.

This game mode means that there is a gap between those players who have a lot of time and those who don’t.

And this mode is also difficult to compete with some fragmented time-killing games, such as MOBA games or mobile games.

This is the fundamental reason for the decline of MMORPG games. It is a natural law and it is impossible to change because of the company Against Heaven.

Second, MMORPG games have been developed for nearly 20 years, and its game mechanism has almost been explored.

Whether it is a team copy, battlefield or any other in-game gameplay, it has basically been finalized, and players are almost tired of it.

It is difficult to find any new ideas when developing MMORPG games. If it is just a reproduction of classic gameplay, why don’t players play the nostalgic clothes of those classic MMORPG games?

Third, the current success of the game Against Heaven is mainly in stand-alone games, but online games are a completely different track.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about the lazy dog ​​character of Against Heaven. After the game was released, it never made any subsequent updates, and it looked like "the ancestral law cannot be changed". How can it make an MMORPG game with this attitude?

Neither the pros nor the cons can convince the other.

The pros emphasize that as long as the niche players are satisfied, it will be fine, but the cons believe that MMORPG must have a large number of players to be considered successful, otherwise it will seriously affect the players' gaming experience, and with fewer players, it will be difficult to recover the bandwidth cost of the server, and it will not be able to achieve stable profits at all.

It is also difficult for Lecturer Ding to judge whether this game can be successful.

On the surface, this type of game is difficult to make, and the hope of success is slim, but Against Heaven is an independent game company after all, so it is inevitable that players will have some unrealistic expectations of it.

"Okay, brothers, stop arguing.

"It's a mule or a horse, don't you know it by taking it out for a walk?

"When the game comes out, everyone can see whether it is successful by looking at the number of online users and revenue.

"There is no need to open champagne or sing bad words now.

"But it will take more than a year for the game to be developed. It is still in the process of creating a new folder. Even if Against the Heaven is more efficient, the size of the MMORPG game is here.

"Huh? Damn! It is expected to start online testing within five months!!!

"Is it fake? This should be a mistake on the official platform?"

This promotional picture does not write the specific launch time of the game, not even in small print.

But on the official platform, these new games will create a partition in advance, and at the same time, there will be game types, game names, game introductions, expected launch time, etc.

Nitiantian's new game also has a special section, but the title of the game is yet to be determined, and the game introduction only has a simple sentence: "Nitiantian's hard work, please stay tuned."

Only the estimated launch time is shown as the end of December this year!

Lecturer Ding was a little confused: "Could it be that there is still a development team hidden in Nitiantian Game? The development of this mmorpg game has already started in advance? No way, I haven't heard any rumors before.

"Or is it that Ni Tiantian has mastered some time compression technology that can develop an MMORPG game in five months?

"What kind of game can we play with this technology?"

Lecturer Ding was very puzzled. After much deliberation, the most likely possibility was that the official platform marked a time randomly and made a mistake.

It may also be the end of December next year.

Everyone discussed it for a while, but no one came up with the reason. After all, there is too little official information released so far, and it is impossible to make a particularly clear judgment.

We can't discuss something that doesn't exist yet.

However, just as Lecturer Ding was about to go back and continue the live broadcast, he saw an eye-catching paid barrage.

"Holy shit! Xiao Ding, go check out the forum. Someone revealed that the promotional images for the game Nitiantian seem to have used art resources from other companies! They just copied them! It's so outrageous!"

One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.

What everyone was discussing just now was whether mmorpg games would work. How come in the blink of an eye, the topic turned into plagiarism and copying other people’s art resources?

Lecturer Ding’s first reaction was disbelief.

"How is that possible! You don't know the level of Nitiantian's art. Do you think you can copy it from others?"

"The possibility of accidentally using someone else's art resources for promotional pictures is not low. After all, many of the people who make the pictures in the publicity department are temporary workers. But you say that the entire picture was copied? Then I don't believe it. Temporary workers can't be so outrageous. !”

With doubts on his face, Professor Ding found the post on the Internet.

This post was obviously posted not long ago, and it was only posted after seeing the promotional images for Nitiantian’s new game.

"The art resources of Nitiantian's new game seem to be the work of Tianlong Digital Entertainment Company, "Disputes in the Demon World"!

“This game has not been officially released yet, but about three months ago, a group of players were invited to play the early beta version, and I was one of them, so I have an impression of these materials.

"Especially their orc character has some changes in appearance compared to the orcs in traditional film and television dramas. The top of his head is pointed. In addition, his body shape and appearance are also different, and he is very recognizable.

"Didn't Nitian use this directly?

"If you don't believe it, there are still some players who went to Tianlong Digital Entertainment to experience the early beta version of "Strife in the Demon World". Let them tell whether the art materials are exactly the same!"

At first, everyone didn’t quite believe it. After all, it sounded quite outrageous, and it looked very much like the game company called Tianlong Digital Entertainment was trying to make trouble.

Who are you?

Although Nitiantian is still only a medium-sized game company, it already has many die-hard fans and has a large number of classic IPs recognized by players.

What kind of company is Tianlong Digital Entertainment? As for Ni Tian plagiarizing your art?

However, after everyone took a closer look, it seems that the art resources of Nitiantian this time are indeed lacking in some standards. They are obviously not as eye-catching as before, and are quite mediocre.

What's even more terrible is that under this post there is actually another player who participated in the test of "Disputes in the Demon Realm" and released a few pictures!

Logically speaking, screenshots or photos are not allowed for this kind of internal testing, but after all, Tianlong Digital Entertainment is not a particularly professional large company, and it has not signed an agreement with this group of players to pay millions for leaking secrets, so there are still players trying it. While playing, I secretly took a few photos with my phone.

These photos are relatively blurry, and because they were taken inside Tianlong Digital Entertainment Company, you can still vaguely see the surrounding environment.

But this also makes the picture look more realistic.

The picture is a close-up of the game character. The orc character is just like the original poster said. The top of the head is pointed. Some orcs will use a small amount of hair on the top of the head to make a small braid. They look quite smart and beautiful.

And this image is exactly the same as the orc in the corner of the original painting released by Nitiantian Games.

The evidence is solid!

Many anti-heaven sunspots and fun-loving players instantly became active. After all, this is directly plagiarizing art resources, and it is not the same level of crime as copying a gameplay.

Copying gameplay is at best a moral condemnation, and the law does not protect gameplay.

But what if you plagiarize art resources? That is absolutely accurate!

Countless players have gone to Tianlong Digital Entertainment’s official platform page and Weibo to report the news, asking them to seize the time to defend their rights!

After all, the other party is Nitiantian, and it should be a company that is not short of money. If this lawsuit is settled, it should be able to make a lot of money.

The efforts of netizens soon bore fruit. Just over half an hour later, Tianlong Digital Entertainment issued an emergency notice on its website.

“Thank you to all the enthusiastic players and netizens for your attention to this incident. We would like to clarify as follows:

"Nitiantian Games has purchased all the copyrights and subsequent development and operation rights of "Clash of Demons", so it can use the art resources in the game at will.

“Thank you for your continued support for “Magic World Conflict”, and I hope you will continue to pay attention to the subsequent works of Tianlong Digital Entertainment and Nitiantang Games!”

When this notice came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Ah?

Nitiantang Games bought games from other companies? ?
