Chapter 257 Art Resource Plagiarism Controversy
Although there is nothing yet, just seeing this game type, the barrage has already started arguing.
"I'll go! Great, this is going to give those traditional mmorpg manufacturers a little shock to heaven! Looking forward to it!"
"As a loyal mmorpg player, I have long been dissatisfied with the current state of affairs of these manufacturers. It is a good thing that Nitiantian takes action!”
“I can’t imagine how much fun Nitiantian’s art style and Western fantasy background will be!”
"Pull it down, mmorpg is a genre that has already gone out of style, and even Nitiantian can't save it, I'm telling you!"
"Niketian is still suitable for independent games. I think mmorpg is probably 8 lines."
"Yes, they are not compatible."
Lecturer Ding did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at the barrage and fell into deep thought.
I have to say that Nitiantian Games still has its own tricks. 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 who support Nitian have good reasons.
The official view is that Nitiantian Games is good at Western fantasy art themes, and its realistic graphics are simply unique. This level has even surpassed what it was good at making Western fantasy more than ten years ago. Those big foreign manufacturers of fantasy mmorpg games.
The game graphics of the next generation, coupled with the top art of Nitiantian, this entire game world is absolutely indistinguishable!
Secondly, it is out of trust in the gameplay innovation of Nitiantian Games.
So far, Nitiantian has produced many types of games, but each game basically has a big or small innovation, which can always bring surprises to players.
Since the release of these games, it can be said that there are constant minor problems, but no major problems. Overall, it's still fun.
Even what some people consider to be a minor flaw has turned out to be the highlight of the game.
Every game and every type of game never overturns. This is quite terrifying, and it has also accumulated a very good reputation for Nitiantian, allowing players to trust it unconditionally.
The opposing view is that the mmorpg game type is no longer viable! Not against Nitian, but against all the game developers here! It can't be saved!
As for why this game type is dying? In fact, there are just a few reasons.
First, mmorpg is destined to be an extremely time-consuming game, and what players lack most now is time. It is simply impossible to spend several hours every day, organize dozens of people to clear the group copy, and then open up wasteland and destroy it for a month.
This game mode means there is a gap between those players who have a lot of time and those who don't.
And this model 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 cannot be changed by Nitiantian.
Second, nearly twenty years have passed since the development of MMORPG games, and its game mechanics have been almost exhausted.
Whether it's team copies, battlefields, or other in-game gameplay, it's basically been finalized, and players are almost getting tired of it.
It is difficult to find any new ideas when developing mmorpg games. If it is just a reproduction of classic gameplay, then why don’t players play the nostalgic servers of those classic mmorpg games?
Third, the current success of Nitiantian Games 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 Ni Tiantian Game. After the game was released, it never made any subsequent updates. It looked like “the laws of the ancestors are immutable”. How can you make a mmorpg with this attitude? game?
No one can convince either of the pros and cons.
The positive side emphasizes that it only needs to satisfy a small number of players, but the negative side believes that mmorpg must have a large player base to be considered successful, otherwise it will seriously affect the player's gaming experience, and with fewer players, it will be difficult to recover the server bandwidth cost, so simply do it Less than stable profit.
Instructor Ding also has a hard time judging whether this game can be successful.
On the surface, this type of game is difficult to make, and the hope of success is slim. However, Nitiantian is a maverick game company after all, so it is inevitable that players will have some unrealistic expectations about it. expect.
"Okay, brothers, don't argue.
"Wouldn't it be clear if it was a mule or a horse leading it around?
"When the game comes out, it will be clear whether it is a success if you look at the number of people online at the same time and the revenue.
"There is no need to pop champagne or badmouth now.
“But when the development of this game is completed, it will probably take more than a year, right? It is still in the state of creating a new folder. No matter how efficient Nitiantian is, the size of the mmorpg game will be here.
"Huh? Damn it! Online testing is expected to begin within five months! ! !
“Is it fake? This must be a mistake on the official platform, right?”
There is no specific launch time for the game on this promotional image, not even small print.
But on the official platform, these new games will create a partition in advance. At the same time, there will also be game type, game name, game introduction, expected launch time, etc.
This new game from Nitiantian also has a special section, but the name of the game is temporarily undecided, and the game introduction only has a simple sentence: "Nitiantian's best work, so 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 Games? The development of this mmorpg game has already started in advance? No way, I haven't heard any rumors before." Or is it that Nitiantian 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 is very puzzled. After thinking about it, the most likely possibility is that the official platform randomly marked a time and marked it wrongly.
It may also be the end of December next year.
Everyone discussed it for a while, but no one came up with a 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 broke the news 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!"
When one wave fails, another wave arises.
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 it possible! You don’t know the level of Nitiantian’s art, so why bother to copy others?.
“It’s possible that the promotional pictures accidentally used other people’s art resources. The quality is not low, after all, many of the people who make pictures in the publicity department are temporary workers. Can you say that the entire picture was copied? Then I don’t believe it, temporary workers can’t be so outrageous! ”
With a face full of doubts, Professor Ding found the post on the Internet.
This post was obviously just posted not long ago, and he also saw the promotion of Nitiantian’s new game. The picture was posted later
"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 I was one of those who played the early beta version, so I have an impression of these materials.
“Especially their orc character, compared with the orcs in traditional film and television dramas, there are some changes in the image. The top of the head is pointed. In addition, the body shape and appearance characteristics are also different. It’s very Recognizable
“Didn’t Nitian use it directly?
“If you don’t believe it, there are still some players who went to Tianlong Digital Entertainment to experience the pre-test version of “Clash of the Demon World”. Let them tell whether the art materials are exactly the same!”
< br>
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, if everyone takes 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!
It stands to reason that 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 compensate millions for leaking secrets. Therefore, some players secretly took a few photos with their mobile phones during the trial.
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 exactly like the 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 comb a small braid, which looks quite stylish. The beauty of great wisdom.
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 immediately became active. After all, this is a direct plagiarism of 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:
“Inverse Paradise Games has purchased all the copyrights and subsequent development and operation rights of “Disputes in the Demon World”. So feel free to use the art resources in the game.
"Thank you for your continued support of "Disputes in the Demon World", and I hope you can continue to pay attention to the follow-up works of Tianlong Digital Entertainment and Nitian Games!"
As soon as this notice came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
Huh?
Nitiantian Games bought games from other companies? ?
