-DEV use characters from other games. I cant give game names due to respect rewiew rules but: I know Alice, Emma, Elsa from other games. And even some other characters could be from other games i dont know either. So characters are stolen from other games...
I believe it’s incorrect from me to comment reviews, but since I have been accused of stealing I think I have a right to defend myself.
First: I hadn’t played a lot of games before I started making my own: BB, Acting Lessons, Dreaming of Dana, Life with Mary, Lancaster Boarding House, My Sweet Neighbours are those I can recall. If I correct, none of them have the models I used.
Second: I have played zero games since I’ve started making mine (September 2018 or so). After the initial release, I've watched and downloaded a few games (StoperArt, PhillyGames, a couple of others.) to compare render quality and try to find a way to improve it (And I still do it from time to time.). But by this time all main characters have already been created (Alice, Elsa, etc.). The funny thing is that I've never played them - because I didn’t want to be accused of stealing stories from other games and yet here we go.
Third: It takes much more time to find which asset artist used than create your own.
Fourth: I've spent about two weeks (and it still requires work) building from the scratch quite a big office floor(21st floor in the game). A lot of scenes will be happening there, and I didn't want it to look like in other games (I saw it at least in Dreaming of Dana and My sweet Neighbours.). And after that, I just went and stole characters from other games. Sounds legit.
Fourth: And now all that above doesn’t make sense, because we all have the same sources of models. So following this logic means everyone stole a model from that one guy who used it first.
But if my arguments haven’t convinced you, I’d like to confess in other stealings including letters, words, British license plates, few lines from Eminem, Big Bang Theory and Monty Python. Also names. They all have been used long before me.
And let's hope that the Romans won't come for the Latin alphabet.
Honestly, this accusation has discovered the whole new world that I didn't even know exists. Thank you for the new knowledge.
