An artist has accused Bungi of making his designs literary and using them in the upcoming first-person shooter marathon. The artist, which makes future posters under the name Antirical (or “4NT1R34L”), posted images of his work with a screenshot of the recent alpha platest of the marathon, showing that some designs have been copied. Bungi confirmed that this is the case, but the studio has a blame on a former artist.
The artist said, “Marathon Alpha has been released recently and its environment has been covered with assets removed from poster design created in 2017.” At xitter“Bangi is definitely not bound to hire me when creating a game that has drawn much more than the same design language for the last decade, but clearly my job was enough to drink for ideas and plaster in my game without salary or attention.”
The images she shares as proof clearly show elements from her poster, which are reused without changes on objects in extraction shooters such as walls, containers, and torpolin. Another image he created is the basis for designs used during the marathon arg in April and on the official website of the game. You can also exclude the artist’s handle “Antirel” in one of an objectionable sports property Told by one of his fansMany artists of Bungi, including art director Joseph Cross, are following an independent artist on social media while working on sports.
She says, “I have no energy legally to pursue it,” she says, but I have counted many times that a major company considered me easy to pay for a designer to mimic or steal my work than writing an email.
“In 10 years I have never continued to income from this work and I am tired of designers of huge companies and making my designs parasites, while I struggle to live a life.”
Bungi has responded to the artist’s complaints. They say that it is true that his work appeared in the game alpha, but claims that it was an “oversite” and only one former employee of his art team is responsible.
The studio said, “We immediately examined an concern about the unauthorized use of artists in the marathon and confirmed that a former Bungi artist included it in a textured sheet that was eventually used in in-game,” the studio said. A post on social media“This issue was unknown by our existing art team, and we are still reviewing how this inspection took place. We take such cases very seriously. We have reached 4NT1R34L to discuss the issue and are committed to correcting by the artist.
“As a policy, we do not use the work of artists without their permission.”
But policy is one thing and practice is another. This is the 4th time when an artist has come forward to complain that Bungi has used his work without permission, as told by PC gamerLast year, they Copying an artist’s designs for a Nerf gun In a case that eventually was resolved. In 2023 they Digital artist Julian Fioleona copy a design For a fortune 2 cutscene. And he used in 2021 A fan art In a trailer without asking. Bungling still faces A copyright suit by a writer Who alleged that the Red War Storyline of the game stole from its views (although it should be said that this case is not so cut and drought as the art nubing above).
Bungi says that they will take steps to prevent such things from happening again, and that they will go through the work of a bus-end employee, to ensure that there are no other literary theft cases.
“To prevent similar issues in the future, we are doing intensive reviews of our in-game assets, especially by the former actor, and all artists are implemented strict investigation to document the contributions.
“We value the creativity and dedication of all the artists that contribute to our sports, and we are committed to them to correct.”
Given the recent records of the studio, it may be appropriate to read such promises with a careful point of view. If you prefer the design style of the marathon, you can enjoy the basic work of the antiright, which have posters Viewable on his website,
