Beat it shortly after its Steam release and was pretty impressed with it. The map design is impressive considering it only uses a few old tilesets. The RM2K3 combat system is slow, but the additions make it feel different enough from the default battle system.

corn in the bible posted:Shallie is such a downgrade from e&l it makes me sad It really is not very good in comparison. I don't think the time limit made E&L, exactly but it was definitely a more focused game. Crafting was more fun too. Doing good crafting in Shallie is so tedious. I started to make some good gear before the sand dragon and got bored halfway through.

Maybe if they hadn't made such a big deal out of it Nintendo wouldn't have either. There are like 20 other Pokemon fangames like Pokemon Uranium out there and I haven't heard of any of them getting targeted by Nintendo. It'a when their fans hype it up or spread word about them to "media outlets" that the lawyers start to show up.

FOX was loving out of their minds i also don't prescribe to the "it's their right, fan stuff is illegal" sort of thing you hear a lot nowadays because nothing about copyright law is legal or illegal until it gets decided in a courtroom which it almost never is (and I don't think big business should get to be the ones to decide what is legal and illegal in copyright via intimidation tactics) anyway I finished Deadly Sin 1 holy poo poo does that have a couple of awful bosses. now i'm starting on Deadly Sin 2 and already the game has some of the UI and mechanics of Skyborn so it's getting better quickly The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Aug 14, 2016 |

Quest For Glory II posted:i dont see how a fangame is any different from fanart though. Fanart does not provide a direct competition to the primary product, using assets borrowed from the original product. Like Pokemon Uranium isn't "100% fan Pokemon." It's borrowing existing stuff and releasing it the same year as a new upcoming Pokemon game.

Quest For Glory II posted:That's debatable when fanart can easily be (and often is) sold as merchandise, prints, etc. The Yetee's entire business model is shirts based on video game characters/properties. But, they don't take it to court, so, nothing happens. Selling fanart is and will always be an incredibly sticky area that gets ignored only because it isn't worth the time and PR trouble. Regardless, this isn't a "selling fanart' case. It is literally using existing Nintendo assets. The closest comparison is something like DBZA which always has skirted the edges and probably would be completely hosed if someone decided to seriously go after them despite having such a good relationship with the dubbing studio that they have voice actors in-jokes in the video games.

Actually from the few I've played the Pokemon fangames seem to be better than average simply because of how obsessive the fanbase is.

Eh, they run into the usual 'fangame' problem of being designed by people so hard into the gameplay that they can't really grasp how to make it accessible to outsiders or people who just have poor grips at balance so things are all over the place. I don't know how Pokemon Uranium is but at very least it has some fuckin' ugly-rear end art design.

It's actually really, really weird that Uranium got taken down. The same author has already made two other fangames of similar style (I know, right), and there's literally hundreds of other pokemon fangames, romhacks, etc floating around, most in demo form but some actually complete, and big, and popular. Heck, Insurgence, the previous game from the Uranium guy, is popular enough to have its own reasonably populated subreddit. Why now? Why are the rest still up? Did it break through some Amppelix fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Aug 14, 2016 |

It's kind of weirder in a way because the fangame isn't being sold for profit (or at all). So it feels like going after meaningless competition (same for taking down that Nintendo Power archive).

it's literally just because it became public knowledge if nintendo doesn't do stuff like this, they have less legal ground to stand on when their IPs are actually being infringed in a real way im sure someone at nintendo's legal department is fully aware of most random pokemon fangames, but they don't care because they aren't getting mainstream games press coverage

let's paint a picture with words some guy makes a super blatantly pokemon knockoff and sells it for 20 bucks on steam. not just mechanics, but characters and designs are copied wholesale. this is an actual copyright infringement. scenario A: knockoff dev: why is nintendo going after me, when they didn't go after THIS! Nintendo: we had no knowledge of this knockoff dev: it was on major gaming news sites like kotaku and polygon judge: hm. you're right. that is selectively enforcing their ip, and they shalt be owned. scenario B: knockoff dev: why is nintendo going after me, when they didn't go after THIS! Nintendo: that's a flash game you found on an angelfire site from 2005. we've enforced our IP in every case we're aware of, such as this game which was mentioned on various big gaming news sites/ Judge: Hm. you're right. you had no knowledge of that, and you shalt not be owned.

I'm playing Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth at the moment and just out of curiosity; is the protagonist a foreigner in Japan in the original Japanese version? Just wondering if it's something fudged into the script for the western release.

It has a lot of very wonky poo poo going on and lots of "a-ha, got you!" traps but at the sametime you can early on side with the villain and procede to wreck you teammates on the path to fulfilling the villains evil goals so its worth playing.

But doujin software exists in this tolerated grey market and the stereotype is that America is more litigious than Japan. Or maybe it's just easier for Americans to raise hell about copyright infringement so the argument becomes "why not?" If you submit a complaint to Google about a Youtube video they remove the content first and ask questions later because that's the power of DMCA.
