I made an account just so I could comment on this. Your game had promise until I heard the names of the towns. At first I assumed Mediah was a coincidence based on ancient Midia, but then came Serendia, and Calpheon. That is blatantly stealing names from Black Desert Online. Go ahead, google those 3 names, and look at your results. Almost only Black Desert Online, huh?

I was excited to play this game with friends over with some alcohol just to laugh our asses off, but this really left a bad taste in my mouth. If you're willing to steal names from another game rather than make up borderline anything adventure sounding on your own, then I doubt you're willing to put too much effort into this.

Yes, the names were taken from Black Desert Online. I was playing a lot of this game before the jam, so I decided to make it as an homage to a game I like. I was hoping that this reference would cause a little laugh in people who play BDO, and I'm sorry if you were offended by that. But saying that no effort was put into a game made in crunch time of 72 hours, just because we "stole" a minor part of it as names of the towns, is a little bit unfair.

Especially when the ending comes and you see they are just taking the climactic moment from The Lord of the Rings. Like, not even a subtle reference, just straight up stolen.
