@Projectdread. I apolgoize i should have been more elaborate on your work youve done a very nice job on your game thus far controls are extermely smmooth very nice! Plus nice blade on the subrscreen btw. Apologies if it seemed blameful..that's not my intent though i understand how peopel may misinterpret. I stated that our ideas i didnt want to ditch..their are a number of reason..but i dont want to make spoiler alerts. Just stuff that is secret and rather unique the level core concept. Stuff that just can't be done in other areas. You'd know what i mean if i showed..but again spoiler alert(nooooo...)
@Darkman. Perhaps he did or didnt i dont know..who's to say. I am merely showing what we had..and don't want to ditch what we've done if dont need to. I never mentioned for him to change anything. He should do as he chooses. My point is i dont want to get called out on using an similar concept. I think i mentioned it so if i build a level that has similarites people wont' go oh it's just a rip off. And yeah our game may not be fully develped as i can't code well enough yet...but honestly..Poc has ideas have been around since '12. So i am sure i have quite a few original concepts.
What' this about bmc? taking backgrounds? Not to my recollection,Dude i think our project and his our very original in alot of ways. I've never once commented negatively on his project. And i'm pretty sure he's never said anything on ours or at least that i'm aware of. but i see no real rip offs in either game. Both seem very original in their own taste. And To be honest. I'm not even sure where that came from. This thread has nothing to do with that project. I'm merely laying out conveyed concept for PoC ideas..that's about it. If you wanna go into great detail about the only thing from bmc's game we had ideas for but he beat us to the punch are 1.reflective waterwalls(which clearly gm8 can't fuly handle) and 2. 2 Dos Giant armors. I was actually shocked when i seen them in his keep.Shockingly uncanny. Because we'd made rooms 3 and 4 for both Dos Armors(not red) in ironically the keep in designated areas.. As for us..i can't say i see too much similariteis in levels or designs.... Not gonna buying it guy..
I notice you have a tendancy to downplay our project's for your buddy's, and that tunes getting old fast. People will freely decide what they like.
I wasn't putting fire in anything dude nor was the post meant to be offensive. I just felt that you were kinda jumping the gun. First off, no one was accusing you of "stealing" anything nor asking you to remove anything from your game so why would you all of a sudden insinuate (which you did) for him to use what he wants to use in a certain way all while saying you don't want to have to change something for your game. Why would you have to change anything at all for your game? You do know that I have been beta testing Dredd's game for a little while now behind the scenes and he ripped all his sprites himself? That's why I felt I could say something.
Additionally, I brought up Warmahine's example because (even though you claim you don't know about it,*PG 46. his thread) ever since that whole fisco about your two games you've been super defensive about you basically plagiarizing other people's work. Hence this post here.
Finally, let's be crystal clear I have never downplayed your project to his in the slightest. In matter of fact I have given him grief about certain areas of his demo that needed polishing privately and publicly. You can go back on his threads and see my suggestions all over the place. Same with your guys. I have actually been commenting about your project since it's infancy, throghout the numerous programmers, and changes in art style etc. so who am I influencing what to like? All I have been doing is giving my personal opinions, you can take it for what it is or ignore it.
If you want to talk about "tendency", alot of guys have a tendency of crying foul if someone has a different opinion on a project and get all bent out of shape just because it's the "flavor of the month." You talk about letting people decide what to like? You should practice what you preach because everyone starts saying ol, he's just going with Warmachine project because it's his buddy over ours even when all the suggestions that I posted on your game were constructive. You can go back anywhere on your thread and see where I left feedback on all your level videos including the revamped ones, how I talked about how I felt you were losing the originality you had when you were using your original art style when Obrek was part of your project. I even talked about how I liked the glowing stalactites in your revamped cave sections. Never once have I mention either of the 2 games in the same breath on either threads.
When Esco sh8T all over my Vamprotector Project I didn't get all bent out of shape. When people suggested for me to change this palette in my levels, or this mechanic guess what? I changed it, not because I had to but because I want to ensure the highest quality product out there for everyone to enjoy. And I eventually won Esco over about my project, even though it sounded jerkish at the beginning.
Don't accuse me of something I wasn't doing bro, I actually like both of your projects. Don't take stuff so personal, remember I am not coming from "oh I am going to bash this project over that one" I am a Game Designer and I do it for a living so yes I like giving my 2 cents on people's projects to include my own. But that's only because as a fan it would be nice to have great games to their highest potential, but you obviously don't have to listen to any of my suggestions at all.
As far as this thread hell, I even suggested that you not to sweat any " potential" issues regarding that particular background...
The point was to me it seemed you were making a big deal over nothing.
