My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 88 It’s obviously me first

Before Zhou Kuang could continue thinking, Chu Mo had already begun to explain what kind of game he wanted to make.

"My idea is to make the assassination of Qin Shi Huang by Jing Ke the final part of the main storyline. At the beginning of the game, the main storyline and side stories will let players understand the customs and practices of this historical period."

"Side plots can include helping ordinary people at the bottom of society, or participating in the struggle between two factions, etc."

"In the end, the protagonist is inevitably drawn into a bigger storm, which gradually leads to the conspiracy behind all these events, and finally develops to the point of assassinating the King of Qin."

“A series of choices made through side stories and the main storyline can ultimately affect the ending of the game.”

"It might even change the original history."

“The gameplay could be more about allowing players to assassinate various enemies and complete missions to gain experience points, money, or rare equipment.”

"Leveling up allows you to gain more skills, and money can be used to directly purchase powerful equipment or materials for crafting."

“The game can take into account both action and stealth elements at the same time, whether it is to use environmental elements for stealth assassination or to directly choose head-on combat, it can be left to the players to decide for themselves.”

"The attack method is mostly melee, but there may also be some ranged weapons that are consistent with the historical background."

"And the game can choose an open world map design, which gives players more space to explore."

"And consume players' playing time through side quests, Easter eggs, and collectibles in the map."

However, the more Zhou Kuang listened, the more he felt that what he said was very similar to Assassin's Creed.

Wow, the father of Assassin’s Creed in this world is here.

Is there even a multiple ending design driven by a moral choice system?

This is very similar to the design of the mobile game he mentioned before called "Wind and Cloud Warring States Chronicles".

Chu Mo said that when he was making the copy of the Battle of Changping, he made a design that allowed the player's choices to determine the direction of the plot and history.

This is a case of the disciple surpassing the master.

Oh, that’s not right. Chu Mo doesn’t know “Assassin’s Creed” at all.

So in fact, Chu Mo not only surpassed this world, but even surpassed the design of "Assassin's Creed" in the original world.

However, design is design, and only when it is actually implemented can it be called "transcendence".

But at least, this has proved Chu Mo's talent. He is not just an ordinary plot designer, he even has a deep understanding of game design itself.

So what are you waiting for? Get it!
Zhou Kuang turned around and leaned forward slightly, then leaned closer to Shi Han's ear and said, "I want this person. Ask her again."

Shi Han nodded after listening and started asking other routine questions.

After completing a series of processes, Chu Mo showed his strong logical thinking ability and he would not panic when facing various problems.

Even with Zhou Kuang's sudden attack, he could respond flexibly.

Not to mention his own big heart and fearlessness. Zhou Kuang has also interviewed many employees. He basically interviewed all the people who were recruited after the release of the actual demo trailer of "Game of Thrones".

Among so many people, Chu Mo is considered to be the most calm and composed one.

So, in the end...

"Throughout the entire interview process, you have performed very well. The qualities you have demonstrated are exactly what we need for this position. Congratulations, Chu Mo, we have finally decided to hire you. Welcome to Kuangshi Games!"

Shi Han said this after Zhou Kuang nodded in agreement.

When Chu Mo heard the news that he was accepted, a look of joy appeared in his eyes and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but he remained calm inside.

He stood up and bowed, then said, "Thank you to the company for giving me this opportunity, and thank you to all the interviewers. I will try my best to contribute my strength."

Zhou Kuang stood up, walked around the front of the table and walked towards Chu Mo.

Chu Mo has been guessing this person's identity. After all, he is so young, but he is sitting in the main seat in the middle, which can't help but arouse people's curiosity.

Seeing Zhou Kuang coming over, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Zhou Kuang gave a friendly smile and extended his hand.

Chu Mo quickly shook it.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Kuang, the boss of Kuangshi Games."

Chu Mo's eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief, but he controlled his expression well.

This man is actually the boss of the game company that produced "Netherworld Mountains and Seas"?

Really so young.

"Hello Hello."

"Don't be nervous, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future."

After saying that, Zhou Kuang and Feng Qi left.

Only Chu Mo was left standing there in a daze.

There will be many opportunities to meet in the future...

Is this a hint?

I was just overthinking it.

Chu Mo was in a dilemma.

"Mr. Chu, let me show you around the office."

Shi Han planned to first take him to introduce the office, then introduce his future workplace, and finally tell him the next steps in signing the contract.

After hearing Shi Han's words, Chu Mo finally reacted and quickly said, "Thank you very much."

……

Just as Megvii Games was working on Netherworld and Qingyan Studio was starting to work on Potato Brothers, some changes were quietly taking place in the outside world.

First of all, after "Vampire Survivor" became popular on the entire Internet, a large number of survivor-type mobile games suddenly emerged on domestic mobile game platforms.

However, these games can't even be called survivor-like. They are basically copied from "Vampire Survivor", and then the art materials, character and weapon names are changed.

However, players who have played the game can tell that the character designs and the designs of various weapons are exactly the same as long as they take a quick look.

And then, unsurprisingly, these shoddy games still became popular.

After all, "Vampire Survivor" was first released on the Steam platform, which means it is available on computers, and mobile players cannot play it.

What’s even more advantageous for the mobile version is that a game like “Vampire Survivor”, which only requires controlling the direction of character movement, is more suitable for mobile phones than computers.

After all, people often mock that playing with a mobile phone is like rubbing glass, and the upper limit of a mobile phone's operation is no higher than that of a keyboard and mouse.

The control difficulty of "Vampire Survivor" is far lower than the upper limit of mobile phone operation, allowing mobile players to get almost the same gaming experience as players of the desktop version. Niu Tieming was quite annoyed by this matter. After all, these people were basically stealing the meat from Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's bowl.

Before their carefully crafted version could even be put online, these people had already pounced on the cake like flies and started to nibble on it.

But even a strong company like Nanshan Pizza Hut cannot sue the game companies that produced plagiarized versions.

Because intellectual property protection does not protect the gameplay, but the things that require companies to spend time and money to actually produce.

For example, art materials or game codes.

However, it is difficult to determine whether the gameplay is plagiarism or simple reference.

In reality, few companies can successfully sue a plagiarizing company based solely on their gameplay.

It relies more on other plagiarized items, such as the misappropriation of art materials, to prove that the game's gameplay has also been plagiarized.

If similar gameplay can be easily judged as "plagiarism", what will the gaming industry become like then?
Large companies have more funds and resources and can completely monopolize major categories such as shooting games, role-playing games, etc.

Small and medium-sized companies can only eat the leftovers of large companies and are terrified of being sued by large companies.

If one day big companies don’t even give you their leftovers, you can only wait for bankruptcy.

Independent producers can simply quit the industry because any work they produce will be sued by big companies and fined until they are penniless.

By then, the gaming market will become stagnant.

Players cannot play any innovative games because even if a small company innovates, it will be immediately taken over by a large company.

Big companies are even less willing to make innovative games.

After all, I have already monopolized the entire market and can make money while lying down. Why should I make money while standing up and doing something unnecessary?

Therefore, this degree of leniency is still very important for the gaming market.

Most of the copied games are also very smart. They all spent real money to create their own materials. At the very least, they would go to the engine material library to buy a set of commercially available materials to replace the materials in "Vampire Survivor".

But there is a game that is extremely bold. Not only is its name called "Bloodline Survivor", but its content is also a direct pixel-level copy of "Vampire Survivor".

Not only are the materials of the two games extremely similar, but even the weapons and characters in the game have the same names and descriptions as "Vampire Survivor", as if they are afraid that others will not be able to tell that it is plagiarized.

Even the thumbnail for the mobile game platform was directly taken from the "Vampire Survivor" icon, which is extremely outrageous.

However, this kind of mindless plagiarism is easier to solve. This game company is shooting itself in the foot.

Niu Tieming has already sent lawyers from Antarctic Interactive Entertainment to secretly investigate and collect evidence. Once a certain amount of evidence is collected, he will directly bring the company to court.

Sitting opposite the Pizza Hut in Nanshan, do you still expect to get anything good?

hum.

Zhou Kuang was not as angry as Niu Tieming about this situation, because he had anticipated it before the game came out.

The same situation occurred after the launch of "Vampire Survivor" in the previous life.

After careful study, other game companies are producing survivor-like games that are different from the original "Vampire Survivor", and those professional plagiarism companies that just want to make a quick buck will take advantage of the gap and produce plagiarized works to occupy the market.

After all, it is impossible for a company that produces seriously to launch a product to the market in such a short time. Only those copycat companies that only need to replace the materials can do it so quickly.

But what surprised Zhou Kuang was that another game company announced that they would also produce domestic 3A games and would release their own promotional video soon.

Although he didn't know what the other party's plan was, Zhou Kuang still maintained a positive attitude towards this matter.

Yes, Zhou Kuang felt that this was actually a good thing.

He supports any domestic production team that is serious about making games, even if there may be potential competition between the two.

……

……

……

Shen Jun was secretly refreshing the webpage, looking back from time to time to see if anyone had noticed him slacking off.

What he was refreshing was the account of a gaming company called Fenghun Unlimited.

Although ordinary players may not have noticed it yet, as employees of Megvii Games, this news has already spread among them.

That is, the Fenghun Infinite Game Company announced with great fanfare that they will launch a domestic 3A game.

And the theme is also an action role-playing game, which is a 3A game of the same type as "Youming Shanhai".

Shen Jun had mixed feelings about this news.

His first reaction, of course, was to wish them success.

After all, Shen Jun has always dreamed of making domestic games rise.

Another domestic game company, inspired by "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", chose to produce a 3A game, which is certainly a good thing.

but.

Why does it become like this...

For the first time, I joined a project that I was truly passionate about and had a goal I wanted to work towards. Other companies also had the right to move forward towards their own goals.

The combination of these two happy events should have created a dreamlike, blissful time... But why did it turn out like this...

We were the first to come here... Whether it was the project launch, development, or the announcement of a domestic AAA action RPG...

Shen Jun was conflicted and felt a little sour.

Therefore, he kept checking Fenghun Wuxian's official account on Bilibili, wanting to see the true face of the other party's game.

Yesterday he saw a post from the other party’s account saying that a trailer for their game would be released this afternoon, and there were only a few dozen replies.

Players obviously don't understand this game yet.

But Shen Jun knew that this was only temporary.

Given the current sluggish state of the domestic stand-alone game production market, any large-scale game can easily create a craze, not to mention that the other party announced that they are going to make a domestic 3A masterpiece.

As soon as this trailer is released, it will be hard for Fenghun Wuxian’s official account not to become popular!
After scrolling for a while, just when he was about to give up, a video title finally appeared at the top of the other person's feed.

Shen Jun was shocked and quickly clicked the mouse.

The Light of Domestic 3A Games! The New King of ARPGs Arrives, Are You Ready?

When Shen Jun saw this title, he was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes hard.

The light of domestic 3A games...the new king of ARPG is coming?

This title made him dumbfounded, and he had to repeatedly confirm whether there was anything wrong with his eyes.

Such a title, such confidence!
The other party is going to make big news!
　Ten thousand words today, thanks for the monthly vote!
