This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 233 - 162: Counterfeit Divine Grace Continent? (Part 2)

Chapter 233: Chapter 162: Counterfeit Divine Grace Continent? (Part 2)

Chen Ba doesn’t think that, apart from "Speeding Frenzy" and "Divine Grace Continent," any other games under Tianba Studio can cater to the tastes of Western players.

And it’s really too far...

Even if he took a plane to participate, it would take quite some time, which for Chen Ba, is undoubtedly a thankless effort.

"If we don’t go, then we don’t go!"

Yang Dong was quite supportive of Ba’s idea, after all, Kolong is really too far, going back and forth isn’t worth it.

If you really want to join the fun and understand industry news and the latest trends, you can look forward to the "Domestic Game Summit" held by Game Starry Sky and several domestic gaming giants.

"Look forward to what?"

Chen Ba was curious, while he was busy developing new games, had the domestic gaming industry caused some stir again?

"Not a stir..."

Yang Dong said with a smile, "I heard that this summit is mainly centered around our Tianba Studio; we are the central topic."

"Us?"

"They’re holding a meeting, and the discussion is about us? What’s going on, is it like the six major sects attacking Bright Summit?" Chen Ba asked in confusion.

The industry holding a summit, with the main topic of discussion being Tianba Studio, is indeed surprising.

What are they going to discuss?

How to target Tianba Studio, or how to learn from Tianba Studio, or maybe how to cooperate and communicate?

"None of those!"

Yang Dong shook his head and denied, "I’ve also just heard some rumors, not sure if they’re accurate."

"Anyway, what I heard is that it’s probably because of platform issues, and everyone wants to integrate with our Nobug Platform."

Integrate with the Nobug Platform?

Chen Ba was a bit taken aback, seemingly not expecting these people to be planning around the newly launched Nobug Game Platform.

Why?

Assuming Nobug had developed well and had a massive user base like the Steam Platform or the Orange Platform, it would make sense.

But the problem is, Nobug doesn’t have many users! What’s the point of them integrating into this platform?

"There is still quite a bit of significance."

"Ba, aren’t you forgetting the difficulties and challenges of single-player game development?"

Yang Dong explained, "Once they integrate with the Nobug Platform, it’s like they’ve boarded our ship; it’s much easier to build a good relationship, whether it’s attracting investment or sponsorship."

Chen Ba: "..."

What do you mean by this?

Everyone is having a hard time, so they want to latch onto Tianba for some investment or sponsorship? Is the Nobug Platform just an excuse?

"Isn’t it better for them to ask Pig Goose or those big companies for help?"

"We have money, and we only do single-player games; to them, we’re all doing single-player, so they might appreciate heroes like heroes."

Yang Dong continued to explain, "Moreover, we have good relationships with many graphics card vendors, Microsoft, Huazi, etc., having a broad network."

Not to mention other aspects.

As long as you connect with Tianba Studio, the optimization and adaptation of N cards and A cards can basically be guaranteed.

Going a step further, bringing in sponsorship or investment from these large enterprises, even being acquired would be worthwhile.

This is an advantage that Pig Goose doesn’t have.

Pig Goose simply has money, but in terms of resources, relationships with console platforms, Steam Platform, console manufacturers, and graphics card vendors, it clearly falls short compared to Tianba Studio.

Of course!

The most important point is probably a saying: A mosquito’s leg is still meat!

Although the player base on the Nobug Platform isn’t large, who knows what the future holds? What if this platform takes off in the next couple of years?

Better to bet early!

Anyway, domestic games, especially domestic single-player games, are generally not exclusive, adding one more platform can earn one more income, why not?

...

Dong said Tianba Studio is now the hot commodity, and initially, Chen Ba wasn’t very convinced.

But when he arrived at the so-called industry summit and saw the passionate peers, he realized it was true.

That was true enthusiasm!

Everyone sought Tianba Studio, hoping to make acquaintance with Ba, even if they couldn’t learn skills from him, making friends was worthwhile.

However, to be honest.

The ones eager to make friends with Tianba Studio, or even with Chen Ba, were mostly small workshops or little teams.

The big companies were relatively calm; they would merely nod when meeting, not go out of their way to make their presence felt.

"Ba, there’s something you should pay attention to!"

Just as Chen Ba had chatted with Tencent’s representative briefly and returned to his seat, he was quickly whispered to by someone nearby.

"I heard from a reliable friend that Tencent seems to have activated Sharingan, planning to cosplay your games..."

What the heck?

Chen Ba blinked his eyes, surprised that he could hear such explosive news by attending the industry summit.

Sharingan, cosplay?

Are you kidding?

The games developed by Tianba Studio have their core foundations built by the Iron Fool System, even if we open the restrictions for others to copy, it’s hard to replicate a finished product.

"Can’t they just copy the gameplay?"

"Are you dumb! They might lag in technology, but as long as they copy the core gameplay and add some of their own stuff, that’s a new game, isn’t it?"

"Which game are they copying?"

Chen Ba was quite curious.

Since Tianba Studio’s debut, with so many games released, which game is fortunate enough to be the target of Sharingan copying?

"Divine Grace Continent!"

After saying this, the person seemed worried about attracting attention, patted Chen Ba on the shoulder, and said, "Just keep this to yourself, don’t go around shouting that I told you."

"Okay, I won’t."

The person kindly shared this secret with him; Chen Ba wasn’t senseless enough to rat them out, right?

He just didn’t understand why it was "Divine Grace Continent"?

"Speeding Frenzy" sells so well, "Love Advisor Department" has high social influence, "Star Emperor" is excellent at event operations... yet these games didn’t encounter Sharingan, why is it "Divine Grace Continent"?

Chen Ba took out his phone and shared the news with Yang Dong, who was staying at the studio.

Soon, Dong shared his thoughts.

"It should be because of the enormous interests from Divine Grace Animation that caught the attention of these big companies!"

Other games are just little tricks; even if there’s some hustle and bustle, it’s nothing significant to big companies, not worth mentioning.

But "Divine Grace Continent" managed to open a new hundred-billion level market! Paving a brand new path for the animation industry!

This value is obviously greater...

Out of curiosity, Chen Ba asked someone to inquire about the specifics of the game or software imitating "Divine Grace Continent."

"Magic Animation!"

"Reportedly, it’s named this way, positioned as a professional-grade AI animation production software, targeting the professional version of ’Divine Grace Continent.’

His connections told him this software named "Magic Animation" basically copied the gameplay mechanisms of "Divine Grace Continent."

They just swapped out the story setting. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The core remains AI-driven NPC free movement, the mechanisms that accidentally gave birth to "Divine Grace Continent" have become the core selling point of this software.

"Using their own AI large model?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ba sighed in relief.

So, he thought "Divine Grace Continent" was cracked! Turns out they are using their own AI large model at the foundation...

Then it’s fine.

"Divine Grace Continent" succeeded in creating "Divine Grace Animation" as a new domain, opening up a new animation track, mainly because the NPCs are too smart.

Tencent plans to substitute the Iron Fool System’s foundation with their own trained AI large model to imitate "Divine Grace Continent."

The idea is great, but the problem lies in whether Tencent’s own trained AI large model is really that intelligent?

If it can replicate half of the intelligence of the NPCs in "Divine Grace Continent," this software could be decently usable.

But if it can’t match even half the intelligence, better to give it all up early...
