Almighty Game Designer Chapter 75: Copy or not?
Tang Dagang said: "Okay, let me talk about it in detail. Obviously, "My name is MT" is an original anime, but the popularity of anime alone cannot bring enough users to mobile games. Moreover, the animation duration is limited and cannot Fully show the settings of the entire Azeroth world."
" Therefore, Chen Mo launched'Azeroth Universe', which is a supplement to the animation, to bring enough gimmicks and hot spots to the mobile game "My name is MT", and also to make it easier for everyone Understand some of the content in the animation."
"As for I said that Chen Mo is ambitious, the reason is very simple, because I think his provocation was premeditated! If he was gambling on impulse at the time, how could he be so indifferent after winning? This shows that he started from scratch. At the end, he knew his purpose very well. All he wanted was this recommended position. Qiu Bin was completely given the routine by him!"
"Since Chen Mo has great ambitions, it is clear what he wants to do. Azeroth’s worldview is so large and complete, and even the rules are refined into a hearthstone, which shows that Chen Mo has the idea to put this The world view has been transformed into a large-scale game."
" And this worldview cannot condense so many players from the moment it appears. He has to warm up slowly, update slowly, and present the whole world step by step, until he feels the player’s expectations for this world When his feeling reaches its peak, when his ability is enough, he will throw this new game!"
Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Well, there is some truth."
Qin Xiao, who has been staring at the phone, raised his head: "So? What do you want?"
Tang Dagang said that he was a little excited, and he didn’t notice the sarcasm in Qin Xiao’s eyes: “So I said, this is good news for us! Chen Mo is now a C-level designer, and he won’t be able to Those who control large-scale games, therefore, we must preemptively..."
Qin Xiao waved his hand: "Okay, these are all his own, you don't need to be so vague, you just want to copy Azeroth, right?"
Tang Dagang was a little uncomfortable with Qin Xiao’s words, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice before he nodded: "Yes."
Qin Xiao put his feet off the table and stared at Tang Dagang: "Then I ask you, how to copy? The entire Azeroth universe was created by Chen Mo. Our imperial dynasty is a big company. Plagiarizing these things, with the current degree of protection of intellectual property rights, is going to be corrupted!"
Tang Dagang defended: "Of course I know this, but we can also not copy it completely. Adapt it. It's perfectly fine to hit a side ball or something."
Qin Xiao said: "How to play the side ball? The gameplay can be used to play the side ball. This kind of world view background and plot how to play the side ball? This year, even writing a novel that looks a little bit like it was hit by the upper palette. There is a well-known writer defendant who is on the verge of bankruptcy. What is the difference between your copying of the world view and the author's copying of books? Do you think that lawyers and judges eat dry food?"
Tang Dagang said unconvincingly: "Our imperial dynasty has so many screenwriters and so many designers who are good at plots. It is not difficult to change this worldview, right?"
Qin Xiao was speechless: "To what extent? The change is less, others can see at a glance, what is the meaning of this kind of change? Isn't it a shame? A lot of changes, it is equivalent to rewriting, willing to pay With this strength, why bother to copy others? Shouldn't we just rewrite a Western fantasy worldview by ourselves?"
Tang Dagang froze, and he wondered how to refute.
Qin Xiao continued: "Besides, can Western Fantasy become popular in China, don’t you have a B number in your heart? Huh? The game adapted from the big foreign IP "Supreme God Ring" last year was a mess in China. , It’s not cool yet, have you all forgotten?"
Tang Dagang said: "Okay, but even if you put aside this world view, there are many settings in the Azeroth universe that can be used, such as running the corpse to resurrect, returning to the inn by Hearthstone, bombing achievements, etc ……"
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes and knocked on the table impatiently: "Can you think about this kind of thing before asking?"
"First, the settings you mentioned are all dependent on the Western Fantasy worldview. Without this worldview, can these game settings be so brilliant?"
"Second, even if these settings are added, what about? Can a large game be supported by just these few settings?"
Tang Dagang was speechless when he was asked, he thought for a moment, and said unconvinced: "But, if this thing has no future, why did Chen Mo bother so much..."
Qin Xiao said: "Chen Mo is Chen Mo, we are us. Chen Mo has the complete setting of Azeroth in his hands, and the intellectual property rights are with him. What do we have? Huh? For us, Ai The world of Xerath is very good, but we cannot use it."
"Let’s put it this way, if you can now give me a world view comparable to the world of Azeroth, I will immediately make a VR game for you, do you have one?"
Tang Dagang defended: "We...we can adapt it from the Azeroth universe!"
Qin Xiao asked back: "Can the adapted things be the same as the original? Do you think the things our screenwriters have adapted can be more powerful than the "Supreme God Ring"?"
Tang Dagang: "..."
Yan Zhenyuan saw that Tang Dagang stopped talking, so he came out and ended up: "Well, everyone expresses their opinions. Sometimes the words are a bit more intense, so don't take it to your heart."
Tang Dagang is speechless, how can he dare to go to his heart, Qin Xiao is an S-level designer, even his boss, Lin Chaoxu, dare to be a ruthless person, how can he dare to have an opinion?
However, Tang Dagang is still a little unconvinced, he is still a little puzzled, why can't he copy? Why can copy "My Name MT" but not Azeroth? One is a card game, the other is a large-scale role playing!
Yan Zhenyuan looked at Qiu Jiang who had been silent for a while: "What do you think?"
Qiujiang glanced at him: "You think you understand and pretend to be confused? Copying games can only copy the gameplay~IndoMTL.com~You can't copy the world view, Qin Xiao has said so clearly, can anyone not understand?"
"Chen Mo may indeed do a large-scale role-playing, but the few settings that are released now are impossible to support a large-scale game. In my opinion, he is a thief, and he has good things. Keep it for yourself, and release the things that we can’t copy or copy it doesn’t matter at all."
Yan Zhenyuan was also helpless. He originally wanted Qiu Jiang to come out of the field, but in the end this guy spoke more directly than Qin Xiao.
Yan Zhenyuan sighed: "Hey, this, I don’t think it is so absolute. Tang Dagang, you are also an A-level designer. If you are really interested, you can make a PC game yourself. If you can succeed , And then apply for VR with President Lin."
Tang Dagang nodded happily: "Okay! I must do it well!"
Yan Zhenyuan said: "The amount of resources and budget can't be approved too much. Just follow the general role-playing game."
Tang Dagang nodded: "Okay, no problem!"
Yan Zhenyuan looked at other people again: "Do you have any other opinions?"
Other designers have also expressed their opinions, but they have not made any decisive progress.
These people still did not reach an agreement in the end, but most designers headed by Qin Xiao felt that the world of Azeroth was good, but it was not useful.
However, just in case, Yan Zhenyuan did not completely rule out this possibility. He only arranged for Tang Dagang to take the lead to make a game that imitated the world view of Azeroth, which was equivalent to exploring the way.
If the situation is optimistic, consider developing VR games.
Qin Xiao said disdainfully: "Wasting time."
