This looks familiar
Ah, if you're not aware then that's concerning. Did the artist come up with the title too?
The game I'm referring to is called critical exposure. It was posted to itch around a month before yours, at the time it even used the same font for the title.
Edit: to clarify, you're game is quite impressive, especially for a JAM. I don't intend to make an issue out of it, just wanted to make sure you're aware. These situations can have the potential to get entire groups in trouble.
huuum thank you for letting me know about this! It looks like their game was posted 54 days ago, mine was published December 16 2023, thats about 120 days ago, twice as old as theirs... so if anything they liked our JAM and copied the idea lol which is fine... I don't think we will finish this project anyway... thank you for the kind words tho, and for bringing me awareness =D
You're confusing a published build or something with when the page went live. I worked on this project and we started after summer last year. I don't want to argue the issue, and you shouldn't take my word for it, but if you look into it, you should be able to find a date before yours.
I wish you the best moving forward with whatever projects you end up working on.
Edit: if need be, we have git logs dating back to mid October. I'm not interested in making a stink about any of this though, it was more just an FYI
don't worry, Im not acusing you of anything neither lol, im just a little confused.... Id love to take a look at this public git you have since october! I wonder how similiar the project was then compared to now.... do you have the link? Id love to give it a look and check what mechanis design decisions were already there when my game was posted!
Thank you!
It's not a public repo, it's through our university, and we're not comfortable sharing access to the source code unless this got serious, which hopefully isn't either of our intentions. Obviously screenshots can be edited but we can provide those if you'd like.
Alternatively, we can send you files and renders that haven't been edited since before all this, and should have the relevant data to prove it. This is all a bit awkward tbh, if you have any suggestions then please let us know.
Oh lol, no need for all of that... I though it was public because you implied I'd have access to that in order to be "be inspired" by your project. Is there ANYTHING public about it at all before December??? Maybe a public discord server with screenshots or something? Again, I'm just curious... Trying to find out how you got the idea of me knowing about your project before it was posted anywhere...
Here's a link to an old build. The files in the zip should be dated to the 7th of December. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1coJR2s6fYtlZNWGiHtfyWsa_b9eiZQh_/view?usp=shari...
