Since its debut, the game "Metadream Star" has attracted the attention of countless players with its overwhelming publicity offensive. However, this game has recently fallen into a plagiarism storm, and its performance in the Spring Festival file was not satisfactory, which has aroused widespread attention from the industry and players.
A creator @dai5y999 (hereinafter referred to as D) posted a ** on Xiaohongshu, saying that @crazyPigy (hereinafter referred to as F) in "Yuanmeng Star" plagiarized the map he created in another game "Egg Boy Party".
According to the detailed comparison provided by the original creator D**, it is clear that there are striking similarities between the "Spring Hunting" map in "Yuan Dream Star" and its original work "999 Wonderland" in terms of color use, model construction, and even obstacle settings and gameplay rules. Not only that, but the level design in both maps is also very similar, from sprinting and jumping to the actions required for a specific level.
It is worth noting that the "999 Wonderland" map of the original creator D has been officially recognized by "Egg Boy Party" and has been included as the pinnacle map, and its quality is naturally undoubted. However, the "Seeking Spring" map in "Yuan Dream Star" blatantly plagiarized this work, which is undoubtedly disrespectful to the original and official.
This plagiarism has also caused strong dissatisfaction among the majority of netizens. Ironically, many netizens believe that even if it is plagiarized, its results do not reach the height of originality. Judging from the comparison, the production of "Looking for Spring" seems rough and casual, lacking the delicacy and beauty shown by "999 Wonderland", and this kind of clumsy imitation makes people laugh.
In addition to this one, there are many plagiarism incidents of "Yuanmeng Star", and the original creator also spoke for himself on major ** platforms. For example, Douyin KOL Puxi Cola accused an author of "Yuan Dream Star" of plagiarizing his "Egg Boy Party" map, and the comparison showed that the plagiarism traces were obvious, especially the design of the dragon head was exactly the same, and there was no creativity.
In addition to the plagiarism controversy, the performance of "Yuan Dream Star" in the Spring Festival file was also unsatisfactory. Even with the massive hype and the eagerness of players, the game was still too strong to compete with its competitors. According to data such as the WeChat index, competitors such as "Egg Boy Party" performed significantly better than "Yuan Dream Star" during the Spring Festival.
On the whole, plagiarized works are difficult to resist original works after all, and "Yuan Dream Star", which has always pursued plagiarism, is bound to be difficult to reproduce the scenery when it was launched, and it may even be more difficult to gain a foothold in the future.
