Today I found assets that were stolen from the game Toxic Terror
https://rafaelmatos.itch.io/epic-rpg-world-pack-sewers

Proofs:

Can you do something with it?

As explained in this recent topic, yes we can, if you report those assets using the little link in the page footer, so that staff can investigate.

I hope Itch can verify this correctly because this is a false accusation.

While digging his account, I found other accounts created in the same week, all with 1 or 2 days of difference:

https://itch.io/profile/misterdipe

Look for their feeds and see that this is probably the same guy trying to make it look like these accounts are normal and from different persons

In my experience, the itch.io team is pretty good at sorting out accusations of piracy, and they crack down on sock-puppeting. In fact I think it's being taken care of already.

Great to hear it. Thank you very much!

Please really check it and you will understand that "RafaelMatos" is a thief, if you don't do this, you can simply accept that you are a distributor of stolen content.

Reports against game content are handled by staff, not moderators. Arguing here won't help. Use the proper channels to report the issue.

WTH? This asset is mine. What I found odd is that you and Dipe created an Itch account this very week both accounts with one day of difference between one and another. Isn't it that strange?

I - and many other creators - publicly reported someone selling stolen assets. So I believe that this thief might be you trying to get some sort of revenge on the person that reported you.

You are an ordinary liar, I did not expect any other reaction, you can only say that it is yours, YOURS.  No, it's not yours, you just stole it. Nonentity. I don't even understand who you are talking about, there are many people like you on ITCH, they just take and resell other people's stuff.

Just stop with this bullshit, and stop spamming my comments sections. You make no sense at all

Just stop posting other people's stuff,  f@cking b@stard.

What can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

You can check it out, if you really think it's wrong, you're just another scammer.

It's not up to me to prove the guys innocence. Rafael being innocent is the default position in absence of sufficient evidence to support a different position. It is up to you to prove his guilt and so far you have provided no evidence in support of this position.

Heya,

The claim got me curious so I decided to check things out and look up the game 'Toxic Terror', which uses the tileset 'Toxic Sewer' as per its credits.
This is a screenshot of it
https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvNTI4ODMvMjk2Nzc3LnBuZw==/original/hPXi9%2F.png

This is a screenshot from the allegedly infringing asset pack, Epic RPG World - Sewers.


Outside of a very superficial 'pixel sewer' relation, the two tilesets couldn't be anymore different in terms of style, shading and overall design. Unless I've mistakenly looked up the wrong game or misunderstand something, can you point to what's being stolen here?

Show post...

You found the right game, but you haven't played it. It has a minigame where the developers used a different level design. Here is a screenshot from their mini game
And here's where the thief used it (he even copied the level design.)


I think that the thief simply changed some details such as the color of the sprites. I have already notified the Fascimania Team (the real developers of these assets), I think they are already working to stop this circus character from making money on Fascimania assets. I think he might have stolen assets from other games, so be careful.

I haven't played it either, can you tell me how I can access that minigame? I can't find anything about it on youtube or google...

Do you really think editing my own png/gifs will convince people? Why are you trying to harm me? You are just a scammer piece of sh*t. Btw, stop spamming my comments sections. 

Show post...

Or maybe it's you edited the assets and put them in your shitty profile?

If you could contact the Fascimania team, I believe you found this asset pack posted somewhere else and it was obviously posted before Rafael posted theirs, right? If so, can you please refer us all to that wonderous asset pack you found as well as "Fascimania Team" :)?

Here's the stolen pack if you haven't seen it yet.
https://rafaelmatos.itch.io/epic-rpg-world-pack-sewers

no lmao, send the pack "Fascimania Team" made and where you found it. And I'd love to see the date of the release!

lmao check this game: Toxic Terror

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Toffysx , I fully support you! Do not pay attention to this scammer and his fans, I believe that such thieves should not exist at all. I will report his page. Thanks for the info!

Look at that, another account recently created. Thanks for the info too. I'll update the list of yours fraudulent accounts:

Hahaha what? Are you really crazy? And why did you put me on this list? I don't understand how these accounts relate to me...
I only have one account. You're really sick, go to the hospital or something.

Stealing assets is one thing, but attacking everyone in a row is another situation.

Everyone making an asset with green water and brown boxes must be stealing from this unknown game. JK.

Must be annoying having to deal with someone like that but at least you can be proud of your work because your asset looks 1000 times better than this. :D

Guess I'm gonna have to use red water from now on...

Joker. I think you just wanted to attract attention. ( I feel sorry for you. )

Sorry about the disturbance pals. This guy is just spamming me with absurd accusations

Show post...

You will be blocked soon, I guarantee you, I got a reply from Fascimania. I think you're just a tiktok kid, who wants to show that he is cool, but in reality you are nothing.

Cool! Send all your "evidences" to the Itch team then. I cannot wait to see you be banned

Show post...

Why should he be banned? You are the thief, not him

Moderator(+1)

It's okay. Just, I might have to lock this topic if it goes on for much longer, it's starting to bother people.

(3 edits) (+1)

Yeah, It's bothering me and it's hurting my productivity since he's spamming my comments sections too. I just wanted to mention again that I think he's this guy ( https://tinydexy.itch.io/ )that got reported(and banned) by me and other creators too because he was selling stolen assets and now he is being vindictive and trying to harm me doing the same but with false allegations. I already reported him as well. If Itch team could verify this quick I'd be very thankful.

Just ban him from your comment section.

On phone so can't give detailed instructions on how to.

I don't know but I think banning him would affect just me, so his comments would still appears to everyone else.

I'd just ignore it for now, afaik when he gets banned it also deletes all his comments. This kid has absolutely zero evidence, I'm sure itch will deal with it soon.

Like Arekku said, every comment on one of your project pages has a little "Ban" button underneath. It only works on a per-project basis, but it might help until support can handle your report. I can't help with that, sorry. But I'm locking this topic now because it's going nowhere.
