God-level Game Designers Start From Scaring the Crying Anchor

In Lin Song's office, Xun Ze was playing a game called "Robot Adventure" with a relaxed expression on his face.

Horizontal shooting games are not absent in Aquamarine. On the contrary, there are many more.

However, it is basically a matter of changing the soup without changing the medicine, either to make the skills extremely cool, or to abandon the pixel style and make the picture as beautiful as possible.

Like "Cup Head", there is not one that combines horizontal shooting games with retro animation, jazz, etc., and at the same time increases the difficulty of the game.

That's why "Cup Head" became so popular with players after it was released.

But in the same way, it is very easy to copy "Cup Head", or learn from it.

Not to mention, with Misty Asgard and similar game editors, the time for follow-up games to appear will be greatly shortened.

"Robot Adventure" is only the first follow-up game, but it will definitely not be the last.

On the screen, "Robot Adventure" also moves closer to the retro style, and at the same time makes a clear distinction from "Cup Head".

So if we really want to break it up, we can only say that the two games have similar styles, but it does not constitute plagiarism.

And the gameplay is not protected by copyright law. There are many similar horizontal shooting games, and it is impossible to say that the other party is plagiarizing.

Unless the beautiful materials used in "Robot Adventure", such as BOSS, mobs, and scenes, are directly copied from "Cup Head".

In other words, the code of "Robot Adventure" is a copy of "Cup Head".

Otherwise, it can only be said that "Robot Adventure" is a popular follow-up game. Even if it is a lawsuit, it is impossible to beat it to death because of the similar pictures.

"Brother Xun, why are you still in the mood to play games?" Lin Song asked a little depressed.

"Brother Lin, I'm a game designer. When I see a competing game, of course I have to try the other's depth." Xun Ze said with a smile.

Although he only played for half an hour, Xun Ze was convinced that this "Robot Adventure" was absolutely impossible to succeed.

Perhaps the designer of this game only saw the surface of "Cup Head", thinking that as long as the painting style is retro and the dynamic music is added, it can sell for a good price.

But the other party didn't know that the operation feel of "Cup Head" was the top priority of this game.

At the beginning, in order to make "Cup Head" feel silky, Xun Ze did not know how many times to fine-tune it, and even put on the title of "Number One Player", cleared the level with high intensity, and almost took Half-Life into it.

Therefore, when playing "Robot Adventure", Xun Ze keenly found that although the feel of this game is not too mushy, it is not excellent.

If you were to rate the two games, Cuphead’s operating feel was nine points, and Robot Adventure was at most five points, not even passing.

The core is not as good as "Cup Head", and no matter how good the surface effort is, players will not buy it.

After all, this is a game, not a cartoon.

And to take a step back, the painting style and music of "Robot Adventure" can only be said to be acceptable, far from being eye-catching.

If it was brought out alone, it might give people a sense of freshness, but with "Cup Head" pearls in front, it seems that "Robot Adventure" is of low grade.

You must know that even "Cup Head" caught the attention of players because of the pioneering "retro style".

If there are too many games like this, players will inevitably experience aesthetic fatigue.

Whether it is external or internal, "Robot Adventure" is not as good as "Cup Head", Xun Ze really can't think of it, how can this game be successful?

By marketing? Or rely on the game platform?

Although the Fengying game platform where "Robot Adventure" is located is an old-fashioned game platform, the number of users is several times that of the steampunk game platform, but so what?

No one really thinks that a game platform has a lot of users, and no matter what game it is, it can sell well, right? No way? No way?

"Then how did you try, Brother Xun? Do you need me to do something?"

"Brother Lin, don't worry about this game, you won't be able to make any waves?"

"Really? I saw the Fengying game platform, the homepage is promoting it, it's menacing!"

"It doesn't matter, the harder they promote it, the harder they get scolded by players."

Speaking of which, Xun Ze asked a little curiously, "Brother Lin, what's the matter with you today? You seem to be in a hurry."

Although I didn't get along with Lin Song for a long time, the other party was the boss of a game platform after all.

But today, the feeling Lin Song gave Xun Ze was anxiety, and there seemed to be a sense of unwillingness.

Lin Song seemed to have reacted as well. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xun is just a joke, because I have touched a bit of past grievances, so I can't hold my breath."

"Does our platform have any grudge against Fengying game platform?" Xun Ze asked.

"It's not like there is hatred. It's just the game designer of "Robot Adventure" who left our platform."

"It turned out to be like this..."

As Xun Ze said that, he opened the sales page of "Robot Adventure" and found the designer's name - Cai Deheng.

Seeing that Xun Ze's expression changed slightly, Lin Song couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xun, your expression is a little strange, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the world is quite small." Xun Ze told Lin Song about Cai Deheng's scolding him on the Internet.

Originally thought that the other party looked down on the horizontal shooting game, and was jealous of his handsomeness, so he wrote that small composition.

But now it seems that the other party is creating enthusiasm for "Robot Adventure" and wants to step on "Cup Head".

This is a bit unkind.

After listening to Xun Ze's words, Lin Song couldn't help but slapped the table and said, "It's very good! Back when he was on our platform and made a name for himself, the platform gave him a lot of resources.

He also gave him favorable conditions. I just hope that when he develops new games in the future, he can give us a share of the platform, and he does not ask for exclusive use. But after he took advantage of the platform's resources to become popular, he abandoned our platform like a slug.

After running to the Fengying game platform, Cai Deheng often publicly bombarded our platform, and also deceived some newcomer game designers, don't come to our platform, it's just a white-eyed wolf! "

Xun Ze really didn't expect that Cai Deheng was not only a dish, but his character was so unbearable.

He quickly comforted him: "Brother Lin, don't be angry, it's not worth getting angry for this kind of person. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Song calmed down again.

"Brother Xun, is it really impossible for "Robot Adventure" to succeed?"

"Of course, you might even be scolded by players!"

In fact, as Xun Ze said, due to the vigorous promotion of the Fengying game platform, the sales of "Robot Adventure" sold 50,000 copies in a short period of time.

Although this result is far inferior to "Cup Head", it is already the best result of all Cai Deheng's games.

Just when Cai Deheng imagined that he could use this game to hit two-star game designers, "Robot Adventure" ushered in a wave of refunds, and players who did not refund the game gave bad reviews to the game.

"What the heck? I thought it was a competitor of "Cup Head", but I didn't think it was even worthy to carry shoes for "Cup Head"!"

"It feels so sloppy, I suggest that designers learn from "Cup Head", can't they even copy homework?"

"We are here to play games, not to watch cartoons, and your cartoons are not good looking!"

"I don't know what the Fengying game platform thinks? Games like this can be recommended on the homepage."

Facing the bad reviews from players, Cai Deheng, who was somewhat arrogant, was angry.

Almost losing his mind, he directly said with big eyes: "Some people's fans have no quality at all. In order to promote their brother's game, they really do everything they can, malicious refunds and bad reviews, Just like a mad dog, it will bite anyone it catches."

It would be fine if the content was just this, Cai Deheng could quibble that he was talking about someone else.

But he didn't die, so he had to end up. At the end, Aite caught Xun Ze's big eyes, and immediately blew up Xun Ze's fans.
