Protoss players blew up the pot again today.

In the early morning of January 5, the official announcement of "Original God" on major platforms such as Miyousha said that in the 2.4 version update, the appearance performance of characters such as "Dandelion Knight Qin (Wind)", "Flying Champion Amber (Fire)", "Crown of Thorn Grace Rosalia (Ice)", "Starry Sky Water Mirror Mona (Water)" will be adjusted, and the specific perspective performance of the character in the flight state will also be adjusted.

In addition, in the announcement, the official "Original God" also revealed that in the 2.5 version, the standing drawing and cutscenes of some of the characters above will be further adjusted.

As the "top stream" of the game circle, as soon as this news came out, it attracted the attention and discussion of a large number of "Original God" players for a time, and related topics also appeared in the hot search lists of major social platforms and forums such as Weibo and Zhihu.

It should be pointed out that in fact, in addition to "Original God", there are a large number of operating games that have optimized and adjusted the character image, standing painting, name, etc. this year, including some phenomena and star-level products. In GameLook's view, as one of the most representative products in the game circle in the past two years, at this time node, the character modification of "Original God" may also reflect the strengthening of the supervision of the relevant departments for the operation of the game.

More and more games to modify the character image or name, the two-dimensional game is concentrated

League of Legends

As a game that has been operating in China for more than ten years, "League of Legends" has already made large and small adjustments during the operation.

This year is no exception, in April, some players found that in the 11.10 version of the "League of Legends" test suit, in addition to balancing the hero values, it also changed the names of many heroes including Rexton, Ike, Greuffus, Tucci and so on, such as time assassin changed to time wizard, extralegal fanatic changed to gunner, which caused many players to discuss for a time.

Of course, most of these changes are not implemented in the game, but the official service still adjusts and optimizes some details, such as in the December 11.24 version of this year, the name of Rexton's Q skill was changed from "Tyrant Strike" to "Crocodile Attack". In addition to the skill names, skin names including the Genesis Demon God series, Tyrant, Blood Knight, Blood Lord, Blood Stone Curse, and Blood Tyrant were also adjusted in this release.

Glory of Kings

In addition to "League of Legends", "Glory of kings" that has been online for nearly 6 years will also be adjusted and optimized to varying degrees every year. In this year, "Glory of the King" has successively standardized and optimized the appearance of heroes such as Dai Ji, Chang'e, and Zhong Wuyan, and also optimized the skill icons of some heroes such as mink to a certain extent.

Yin-Yang Division

The situation of "Yin and Yang Division" is actually similar to the above-mentioned "League of Legends" and "Glory of kings", as a mobile game product with a long operating time in China, "Yin and Yang Division" has undergone many large and small changes since its official launch. In the middle of 2021, "Yin and Yang Division" has successively adjusted a number of styles of divine paintings, including rice sticks.

Turquoise routes

The game content that was recently announced to be adjusted is not actually a game of "Original God", in fact, "Blue Route" is also one of them, but it has not been discussed as much as "Original God".

On the evening of January 4, the "Blue Route" announced that the limited-time character costumes including "Tilbitz-Pine Verse", "White Ice, Weser-Dark Gold Embroidery", etc., as well as resident character costumes including "Duke of York - Corolla of eternal night", "U-47 - Quiet Corner", "Prince Eugen - Wein Kornblume" and so on will be removed from the dress-up mall after January 7, and players will not be able to purchase the corresponding content.

F/GO

In addition to "Original God", this year's "F/GO" has also undergone a major adjustment, and at the same time attracted the attention and discussion of many players in the two-dimensional circle.

On October 29, the official article of "Destiny - Crown Designation" said that it is expected that after the maintenance on November 3, the names, character information and voices of the original heroes such as "Jing Ke", "Yu Meiren" and "Xiang Yu" will be adjusted.

Princess Connect ReDive

Coincidentally, another "Princess Link ReDive" represented by Station B has also been modified this year.

On October 13, the official article of "Princess Link ReDive" said that it will further standardize the use of in-game text and materials, and will standardize and optimize the in-game text, the display effect of some character drawings and some special effects, some of which will use temporary materials online, and the new content will be replaced after the completion of the simultaneous revision.

Muse Dash

Relying on several "brainwashing divine comedies", this year's "Muse Dash" has really become popular on the Internet. At the end of this year, the game actually underwent a vertical drawing adjustment.

On December 15, Muse Dash officially announced that it will further standardize the vertical drawing optimization, and the optimized version will be launched in February 2022. At the same time, in addition to the standing drawing, the official also said that the in-game lines will be modified and re-recorded.

In addition, the official promise will be a limited illustration for players affected by the standard version, and the steam winter promotion and the research and development of new content will be increased.

Maiden Frontline

On August 18, the "Maiden Frontline" officially said that it will update the standing painting and costume of some "tactical humanoids" in the game without stopping, and some enemy units and fusion force units will also be partially adjusted.

Similar to the situation in Protoss, due to the hasty and immediate effect of the adjustment, The Maiden Frontline officially issued 1,000 diamonds to all players for compensation, and promised to continue to optimize the adjustment in the future.

Forever the capital of the 7 days

On July 27, "Forever 7 Days Capital" announced that the next day's update will adjust some of the art content in the game such as red special effects, icons, textures, and some character drawings and modeling to varying degrees. In addition, the official also issued 21 opals for each player as compensation.

Twin horizons

On May 17, Twin Worlds announced that some of the girl-themed cards and some ten-sided dress-up themes in the game will be removed from the shelves, and the vertical drawings of some cards and themes will be adjusted.

The next day, "Twin World" once again issued an announcement that it would carry out emergency suspension update and maintenance, and added some girl theme cards to remove the shelves, as well as some girl theme card face vertical painting for optimization and adjustment, and sent special compensation for players for emergency adjustments.

The Solver

On March 26, the official announcement of the "God Interpreter" said that some of the standing paintings, including the "Asmod" awakening painting, the "Jingwei" awakening painting, the "Inanna" awakening painting, the "Inanna" standing painting, the light sea standing painting, the Ocean Heart standing painting, the wanderer standing painting and so on, will be technically adjusted.

100 views of Gangnam

In August this year, "Jiangnan Hundred Scenic Pictures" caused an uproar because of the problem of the image of the characters in the game, and on August 11, the official issued an apology and modified some of the characters in the game.

The issuance of the version number is suspended, but the supervision is still strengthening

Several of the above adjusted products are incomplete statistics, and many products are still being adjusted. In summary, the adjustment of character image, standing painting and name is a common phenomenon in the domestic game industry in the past year, especially in the two-dimensional games that "pay for love".

At the same time, since July 2021, the game version number has entered a state of suspension of issuance, but the supervision has not been relaxed, and at the same time, combined with the introduction of the new anti-addiction regulations at the end of August, the focus is on anti-addiction and related loopholes, "set version numbers" and the regulation of operating games, so that the new regulations can be quickly landed and achieve certain stage results.

Previously, the relevant departments had publicized 5 typical cases found in some key areas to play a warning role, and also set up whistle-blowing and supervision channels to jointly regulate the game industry. For example, the Shanghai Pudong Court recently announced a case in which Tencent sued the "Substitute Training Gang" App to provide minors with the "Glory of the King" training service, in which the court held that the App behavior was that the user could bypass the anti-addiction measures, resulting in the failure of the mechanism and hindering the order of online game operation.

With the dynamic changes in policies and regulations, game products that can find and adjust elements such as character drawings and names are mainly concentrated in the second half of 2021. Therefore, many cases have once again reminded peers in major game circles that in the future, game companies need to further strengthen the compliance of game product character images, appearance drawings and game content, and they must not relax in operating games, and need to re-examine the compliance of current game content to avoid similar incidents as much as possible.
