The game lacks distinctive features; it's basically a hodgepodge of various systems borrowed from one another.
The visuals are decent, but the character designs are geared towards pandering to otaku, with each female character showing more than 80% of her body.
The reason why 90% of the character wasn't revealed is to prepare for the release of even stronger characters in the future.
If you reveal everything at the beginning, no one will buy paid characters later!
However, this highly anticipated game quickly faded into obscurity upon its release.
In today's world, it's incredibly easy to create a few beautiful girls.
If a character doesn't have any unique selling points, male otaku aren't fools and won't buy into everything.
A game that sinks to the bottom of the charts as soon as it's released is basically doomed.
The company is also pessimistic and has already withdrawn a large amount of publicity and promotional resources.
Therefore, when the chief designer saw this incident of "identity clash", his first reaction was to see who it was.
result……
Hurrah!
League of Legends, one of the most popular competitive games right now, is also one of the most popular games on live streaming platforms!
The chief designer was overjoyed and immediately said, "Quickly, regardless of whether we or they get the character portrayal first, let's release the announcement first! Hire a team of online trolls, hire three million accounts, we must make sure this news gets hyped up! Get it hyped up!"
The remaining marketing teams were also motivated and started discussing how to capitalize on this trend.
"Send another lawyer's letter, first accusing Blue Star Studio of plagiarizing our character design! Send the lawyer's letter all over the internet!"
"Oh, and don't forget to send your online trolls to the League of Legends livestream and their official website. Try to attract as many users as possible, and our main character's persona will soon gain popularity."
However, at the height of the discussion, one person's expression looked rather strange.
"Shagil's character design, I think it was dug out from Varian's archives..." he said softly, "Was it really just a coincidence that the character designs overlapped?"
Chapter 28 The Worried Player
The production team of "Shagil's Enlightenment" is still excitedly discussing how to ride the wave of popularity.
Industry insiders can see that League of Legends is buying a lot of traffic.
To be able to ride on the coattails of popularity that others have bought with mountains of gold and silver for free—that's an incredible stroke of luck!
The chief designer has even planned that if they successfully capitalize on this wave of popularity, they should quickly launch a new persona.
Let's talk about Shagil's younger brother! They look exactly alike, which makes him even more popular!
However, after the small meeting ended, two young men came up to us with their tails between their legs.
Their eyes were filled with fear as they reminded the chief designer in the small, dark room.
“Shagil’s character design was mainly done by Varian…we just changed his hair color. He didn’t give us authorization, and he even joined Blue Star Studios, so Blue Star’s character design is the only legitimate one…”
The chief designer frowned: "What? Varian has worked for our company for so many years, and this character design isn't ours yet?"
"He did this during his break..."
"Bullshit! Check the surveillance footage immediately! Find a time when he wasn't at his desk during working hours, and say he specially created this persona at lunchtime to make up for lost time." The chief designer made the decision. "That's it, from now on, we'll stick to the same story! Xia Jier's persona belongs to us, it's perfectly legal!"
However, plans can never keep up with changes.
Just as their team was planning how to capitalize on the trending topic, a lawyer's letter suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"What?! Blue Star Studio is suing us directly?!?!"
It was made clear that the opponent had no chance to prepare; a lawyer's letter that had been prepared for a long time was delivered to their door.
Meanwhile, this case of infringement on a persona has been brought before the People's Court of the Sixth Star Province.
The lawyers are all ready!
The materials were collected over several months, and through special channels, some of the competitor's surveillance and information were even obtained.
This is sufficient proof that Varian's actions during his tenure were not only not shoddy, but can be described as dedicated and conscientious.
However, in the end, he was driven out of his workstation just before he was supposed to receive his ten-year stock options, all because of some unfounded excuse!
They can't even touch anything on their own computer.
In terms of procedure, before accepting the infringement case, the court also invited both parties and their lawyers to meet outside the court to try to reach a settlement.
The chief designer of "Shagil's Enlightenment" brought along two newcomers.
On the other side, Mingyan was present in person, and Varian was also sitting in the plaintiff's seat.
Mingyan was the youngest among everyone present, and he looked quite handsome, like a recent graduate.
The defendant essentially ignored Ming's words and even tried to persuade Varian with earnest words.
But Varian was determined this time, saying, "I can forgive you for looking through my computer, but I will never forgive you for infringing on my wife's image!"
The supporting female character in "Shagil's Enlightenment" is a direct copy of his wife's character.
Moreover, 80% of her skin was exposed...
Varian was furious!
