Chapter 310 No More Acting
"The two companies... merged?"
Lin Yao was quite surprised to hear the news.
Last time, Mandy Wan checked it out.
The holding company behind the Cossi Entertainment that was causing trouble for Linmu Studio is the same as that of Tianhu.
Fuxin Holdings, which started out in the insurance industry.
So when she heard about Tianhu and Cossi, she subconsciously thought they had merged.
"No, it's just a joint development, and the game will eventually be operated by Tianhu."
Zhong Xiu shook his head and continued, "And that's not the point, Lin Yao, they are promoting it with great fanfare now, you can see if you go and take a look, although they don't mention "Heroes" and "Warcraft" in every sentence, but every sentence is about "Heroes" and "Warcraft", as if MOBA is their orthodoxy, and they even pushed the author of "Lone Hero" to stand on the platform, as if they are about to overthrow Linmu Studio."
"..."
Lin Yao held the mouse and opened the game forum to take a look.
It was indeed true.
Quite a lot of people were discussing it.
Coxie and Tianhu... The main thing is that Coxie's attitude is exactly as Zhong Xiu said.
They hinted that they would make a MOBA game in the style of "Warcraft", and acted as if MOBA games were the orthodoxy of mine...
Tianhu, on the other hand, was much more low-key, and only said that they would try their best to make a good game.
This was Li Guangsheng's request...
Because of Feng Yingzhuo's incident, he was really afraid, not only of the backlash from public opinion, but also of Linmu Studio.
And Coxie's attitude made many players unhappy, and coupled with the plagiarism incident some time ago, many players did criticize them.
But inexplicably.
This company is famous.
Even the "Lone Hero" map and the MOBA game they haven't launched yet have received a lot of attention.
I don't know if this is their strategy.
Or it's just a coincidence.
"What should we do, Lin Yao? Should we fight back?"
Zhong Xiu read the announcement sent by Coxie again, and became even more angry.
"How do you want to fight back?"
Lin Yao turned her head and blinked.
"Um... sue them for plagiarism?"
"Sure, but even if we sue them, it's just a matter of wrangling. The last time the leak was still a matter of wrangling, it should be similar this time."
Lin Yao shook her head: "Plagiarism is something that cannot be judged in the gaming industry. The gameplay of many games is similar, but there is no way to determine whether the gameplay is plagiarized. It's nothing more than carrying some stigma. Unless they copy something from "Warcraft", but they shouldn't be stupid, they will just make it look similar, and other names and models should be adjusted."
"Then just let it go?" Zhong Xiu was a little unwilling.
"..."
Lin Yao heard this and the idea of dota popped up.
But she quickly shook her head: "It's not that we should just give up. We just need to run Hero well. Now Hero is so popular. Even if there is no Cosi, other game manufacturers will imitate it. You will see that soon this type of game will pop up like mushrooms after rain. After all, everyone can see the popularity of Hero.
At this time, it is meaningless to worry about others imitating and launching the same type of game. It is better to calm down, make our own game, and then let the players choose. As long as the game is good, we have the first-mover advantage, and players will vote with their feet."
In Lin Yao's previous life,
after dota became popular,
a lot of similar games emerged, because everyone knew that this type of game was popular. League of Legends also came out at that time.
The same is true for auto chess and chicken.
This is normal. It
's not just online games.
It's the same in the single-player field.
Just like after the smooth wall gliding of Titanfall came out,
Call of Duty had a similar gameplay the following year.
After Slay the Spire became popular,
there were also many imitation works soon.
This is really normal.
I can only say.
We are all commercial companies, and we all want to make money, big money.
"...Okay."
Zhong Xiu nodded reluctantly after hearing Lin Yao's words, but he was still a little unwilling: "But I'm really upset to see the attitude of Kesi Entertainment, which colluded with the Korean online game company to cheat us."
Lin Yao comforted: "Then run "Hero" well. When their game comes out, "Hero" will surpass them, and then they will be unhappy."
...
The news that Kesi Entertainment and Tianhu are cooperating to develop a MOBA game similar to "Hero"
spread quickly .
Players cursed Kesi Entertainment, and as they cursed, they actually attracted attention.
Many "Warcraft" players also began to look forward to it.
The main reason is that the producer of this game is the producer of the "Lone Hero" map.
Before, "Lone Hero"
had many problems because there was only Kang Yi.
But now there is a team, it is estimated that... it will be much better, right?
In short, some players are looking forward to it.
As for Linmu Studio.
Although many staff members are unhappy about this incident,
it has little impact.
They still do what they should do.
The motion capture work of "The Witch" has also officially started.
Lin Yao began to frequently travel between the motion capture base and Linmu Studio during this period.
However, the work efficiency at the beginning can only be said to be okay.
Those mechanical actions in the game are okay, because the performance method is single, and it is very efficient when the preliminary preparation is sufficient.
But the plot actions are a bit troublesome, and the things to consider are far more complicated than other types of actions.
And because many plot actions involve strong interactions, props must be changed constantly, which not only delays the efficiency of motion capture, but also tests the actors.
For example.
Kratos's axe.
When motion capturing, it may be just a water pipe of similar length...
In this case, the requirements for the actors can be imagined.
Zhang Seng is okay.
But the motion capture actor Xu Chunjing of another heroine is a bit troublesome.
She has not been able to meet the standards.
The problem is big.
Lin Yao is a little helpless and can only draw more concept maps for her to refer to.
But it still doesn't work.
It's still very bad.
The second week of motion capture.
Lin Yao came to the motion capture base as usual.
Because many actions and expressions have not met the requirements.
Lin Yao postponed the in-game mechanical motion capture, intending to concentrate on a time period to complete the capture of plot motions first, and then deal with the two protagonists.
In the motion capture base.
Zhang Seng has arrived.
Lin Yao greeted him and began to discuss the next key points with him.
Zhang Seng listened quietly, occasionally asking questions.
After the two finished talking.
The agreed time has arrived.
But the other actress Xu Chunjing was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Yao looked at the entrance, frowned slightly, and then asked the staff to contact.
Then waited and waited.
Lin Yao waited for two hours.
Didn't wait for Xu Chunjing.
Instead, she waited for Mu Wanqing.
"Lin Yao, something happened. Xu Chunjing's agent contacted me and said that she would not act anymore..."
The first sentence Mu Wanqing said.
After waiting for two hours, Lin Yao, who already had a very ugly face, became even uglier.
There is another chapter later to pay off the debt
