Team Jade, under the banner of Tianmei’s studio, recently released a first-person “Asala” for the new season of Delta Force, which was supposed to be the hot spot for the opening season, and the C4 bomb model in the trailer film was recognized by the eye-to-faced Rust development director as a 3D asset of his own production and was used directly and without authorization.
The director and director of Rust Development, Facepunch Studios, Alistair McFarlane, called in the post shortly after the Assalasai season trailer came on line: “Hey, @DeltaAction, thanks for being a big fan of Rust.” But please remove our game assets. If we wanted to cooperate, we could have contacted first.”
McFarlane even posted the ArtStation original page, pointing out that the C4 model was produced manually by Facepunch’s main weapon and props and was entirely home-grown.
The C4 appearing in the prognosis is almost identical, so he thinks that Team Jade clearly “quoted something that should not be quoted” and that, although the theoretical development team might “reform itself in an identical version”, the overall similarity is too high to make the copying suspect self-evident.
A few hours after the incident, McFarlane updated the progress by indicating that representatives from the Delta team had approached and apologized and that the parties had been closed in private. And he added that it was a bit of a joke:
It’s hard to tell whether it’s funny or it’s sour. To date, the trailers are still available in official accounts, and Delta Action is very open in response to the waves in the comment area.
As part of the re-launching of the 1998 classic FPS Delta Force, Steam is now in the middle of a long-term approach to 200 million online players, and is gradually becoming a major FPS under the global market.
The new map and the new Extraction-type events that were supposed to be important outreach points were added to the Assara Zone season, but the C4 model dispute allowed the wind to run away.
Although Rust Developer Facepunch Studios is quite open to players’ model communities and allows players to sell home-made content, the official article clearly states that the intellectual property rights of the world view, model and material in the game remain with Facepunch and cannot be diverted to other works without authorization.
The C4 bomb 3D model, which has been misappropriated this time, is naturally also protected, and when it appears as an official forecast in Operation Red Delta, it is not surprising that Facepunch will jump out and sound, so that the two sides have quickly come to a settlement.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time this year that one of the development agents was accused of a similarity. In July of this year, Sony filed a complaint to control the origin of the wilderness as a “full replica” of the Horizon series, which then rushed to remove most of the visual elements of the “suspect copying” but Sony still believes that it is not enough to apply for further restraining orders, and in this context, the C4 episode of Delta Action has also received particular attention from international players.
