Just another copy of another cool indie game, its a shame this what game dev is nowadays
see a cool game:
copy cool game
change 1 thing about it
add new lore
publish.
You have made zero games and clearly you don't understand this thing called inspiration. This game is one of the many popular games on this site and yet here you are; zero of your nonexistent games published. If you're gonna complain about this, maybe don't play any indie games or games in general because they pretty much all take inspiration from something. Pack it up, bruv.
i've made a few games myself, just not on itch. and yea, inspiration is a real thing. but this? this aint it.
this just feels like a straight up copy of another game with almost nothing actually new. maybe they changed one or two things if we’re being nice. if you wanna see what real inspo looks like, here’s some solid examples:
Five Nights at Candy’s – takes big inspo from FNAF, but adds it's own chars, story and gameplay stuff.
Sun Haven – clearly inspired by stardew vally, but added magic, fighting and co-op stuff.
Valorant – def took stuff from counter-strike, but threw in heros and flashy visuals.
Palworld – 100% pokemon inspo, but adds survival, guns and building.
Ghosts of Tabor – like tarkov, but made for VR and with it's own spin.
i could go on, but point is: inspo don’t mean just slapping a new coat of paint on something and calling it yours. you gotta add somthing that matters—new ideas, looks, or at least your own twist (that isnt just a small thing.).
i will give them this tho: atleast they didn’t make ppl pay for it, and they said it only took a few days to make. but still, thats not really an excuse. this kinda stuff is everywhere now in game dev.
leathal company gets it the worst. it's getting copied like crazy, and some of those ripoffs are straight up trying to sell their junk. thats where it stops being lazy and starts being scammy.
My brother in christ....Is this game not exactly the same thing as the others you listed? Since when did Buck Shot Roulette ever have just straight pills? Sure, the game could use a bit more content to make it more unique (if that's even possible in this day and age where everything basically looks and plays the same), but that doesn't mean it's a straight ripoff. And Palword also got sued by Nintendo themselves to the point where the devs had to change a few things, so that's not a very good example you put up there.
its not, its no where near. this is just the same as buck shot roulette. they changed like 2 things. one, its pills now. two, you cant skip (unless u got a candy). other than that theres almost nothing diffrent.
and no, nintendo suing pocket pair isnt a good argument either. nintendo would sue you for saying pikachu in your sleep. palworld is still a amazing example cuz it actually changes stuff. instead of a kid friendly rpg, they said lets make it a survival game with guns, and lets have the pals do hard labor. that’s a twist. thats taking inspo and doin somethin new.
this game tho? its just a rip off of buckshot, it just is.
and bro, when you say stuff like “if thats even possible in this day and age where everything basically looks and plays the same” you proved my point. everything looks and plays the same because devs stopped tryin. its all lazy now, just copying trends, jumping on wagons, and doin whatever’s popular instead of making anything new.
you are a walking contradiction.
you lost the arguement so now you go straight to insults, nice one. and yea, i have made stuff, its hard. still doesn’t exsuce just copying something.
also, not pretending to be some "big ol badass" or anything like that. i’m just someone who's tired of seeing this trend in games. you’re obviusly just a kid who doesn’t really know what they're talkin about, and thats fine.
enjoy your day, grow up a bit, be better. hope this helps.
