Can someone explain to me what's the whole history about this ''scam''?
Ok then. Pour some tea and prepare to list.. i mean read.
Long time ago there was ancient technology called FLASH. It was about making pictures move. And it startet a whole era of flash gaming. Many kinds of cancer which make modern games full of shit started then. Like "1000 and 1 way to squeeze a coin from players" or "pay some money for shitty animations just coze there is some (almost) beautifull ass drawn by our great artist(janitor actually)".
And some group of people came to an idea of making a game about breeding monstergirls. On Flash. Breeding Season was its name. Among those extra talented people was our hero, the S-Purple. He made some graphics. Making a game is not easy and consume time. And Flash did not make this any easier. But they did try. New girls, new animations, new mechanics - ideas was slowly taking their forms.
And everything was fine until - SUDDENLY! - S-purple decide to leave project and take his art with him, thus in fact "killing" that game.(Why they could't find another artist - is beyond my understanding. Maybe coz of flash. Maybe coz of
extra chromosomes)
Some time later - Cloud Meadow emerges from the shadows. Suddenly - having same artstyle and similar ideas. People start speculating - WTF?! Did S-Purple suffered so much from bad guys in Breeding Season dev team, so he decided to leave? Or did he became too much of a shitbag himself?
And some time later, when Cloud Meadow started to generate more income - it became crystal clear - he is indeed, stupid greedy lying piece of crap. I saw this "game" few years ago. Cute animations, interesting ideas, sexy characters. Cool.
Several years have passed. Several artist succeded each other, several animators, few coders even. Countless "i decide to redraw some basic things. Again." and "this is my vision of levels" and most loved(by me) "i draw random shit coz i don't f-g care about anything" streams with Spurple. Even version naming changed a few times. Still all those clowns did - added 4 or 6 animations. A-a-and minor UI changes as well as minor gardening changes(it is still complete shit tho). Again - thats all for YEARS.
So our hero is ranked very high on the "under no circumstances give any money" list. And on "hope my grandchildren will enjoy this" list.
--------
funny fact - in the end, this scam has only a few visual intersections with breeding season. So he didn't even has to quit that project. Well - only if their quarrels was not about "purple clown wants to have money for doing nothing"
