VN Ren'Py Abandoned Leaf on Fire [v0.2.02] [Thunder One]

[anne O'nymous]

You don't let a 7yo "browsing on the net".

I agree, whatever their age, there's people who shouldn't browse the net without the supervision of a responsible adult. Some who, to take an example chosen totally randomly, understand what "while browsing the net with him/her" mean.

To anyone looking for some context why this thread suddenly got updated again:

I was a Patron for Thunder One back in the day when he was making Leaf on Fire and had v0.2.02 sitting on my harddrive all this time. Today I learned that we only had up to v0.2 on F95zone, so I shared the 02.02 build with rf96, which contains a few more pokemon and some other fixes.

The game is still 100% abandoned since Thunder One had a cease and desist from Nintendo back in the day, and he decided he would stop working on the game as he was afraid Nintendo would go the extra mile and actually sue him. This was the very last build he ever made on the game unfortunately.

But now you guys can at least enjoy the last few Pokemon that got added, instead of only me enjoying it

By paying one of the companies dedicated to this.

If the dev never mentioned pokemon or any other names, I don't think they would have found it, and even then no right to prosecute him

Some parents prefer to entrust their children's education to politics rather than themselves. "It's to protect children" is the worse argument for censorship

Do you really think that the said dedicated companies ask Millions to companies like Nintendo just to grep among web pages ?

Ah, being young a naive...

Nintendo Employee #1: Nice game, I'm glad we inspire others

Nintendo Employee #2: You're right, we're removing it?

Nintendo Employee #1: Of course.

I was wondering, do they go after all those pokemon based H doujins too? If not why is this game a problem.

Exactly. The whole thing is just silly

Haven't played this, but seeing 5+ years of work getting cancelled because of Nintendo is quite frustrating, to say the least. Didn't expect the ubiquitous Nintendo copyrighters to extend their reach to the porn game industry. I hope the dev manages to make a couple adjustments to the visual and plot elements to get the copyrighters off his ass or at least recycle most of the progress. Hang in there dev

This all happened a very long time ago, in 2019. The dev quit working on this game before he started with Tales of Terrera. He also said he'd never work on it again as he didn't want to risk being sued by Nintendo. So don't get your hopes up, in any way

wellcome back

Nintendo has loads of lawyers and other staff that scours the internet to make sure no fun is allowed.

Projects like these should be covered under being a parody in my limited understanding of Copyright, but I guess if the developer is getting money for the work it can be Cease and Desisted.

They also have so much money that they can afford to keep throwing lawyers at small developers and they don't care if they win or not.

I'm almost 90% sure it does have to do with a dev making money off it if I remember correctly there's some rule were any fan made projects no matter if it's NSFW or not must be free since they don't rights to be selling a game with the name pokemon attached to it but that being said devs are allowed to have donation buttons or in the case of how pixelmon exist there are servers that have buyable packages that are not directly pokemon or gain access to play so its good

 

[Loxyas]

Damn, that was the first game I ever downloaded on this site.

 

[Teddybear91]

I'm just wondering why this specific game was targeted, when there are plenty of other fan made Pokemon games out there (porn ones included).

The people at Nintendo must've been worried that this specific parody would put their games to shame

You should've written that bigger and not smaller.

Well, God bless, my guy.

How did Nintendo even find out about the game?
Did some idiot report the Dev?
And why would Nintendo even care about this? It's not like it diminishes the integrity of the actual Pokemon games, or does it?

For finding out about the game, my best bet would be a spider or automated scanner, that just checks sites such as this for specific keywords, you trigger it with x amount of those keywords and the site and post gets flagged for further checks, some low level tech monkey from nintendo then gets tasked to look at the specific site with probably some sort of tick list at his/her side, and goes through the post ticking things off if, it hits a certain amount of ticks it get handed onto higher ups and legal side of things to look at and decide what to do.

As for caring, pretty much everything they do is aimed at kids and they could well find this be accident, and think it is official stuff, and it pretty much uses images that are visibly official pokemon stuff, a lot of parody games do not, or are pokegirl games which pretty much would make anybody looking at them go nope not official.

Also we do not really know just what they threatened to sue him over, they may well have simply wanted the pokemon graphics used in the game changed or the names or such changed so they do not follow official pokemon naming, who really knows, unless it was actually posted on the devs patreon site.

With copyright infringement you cannot use the name or likeness of a character to make money, so pokegirls and visibility are still illegal. I honestly don't know how any of these parody games are getting away with it unless it's via patreon and they are claiming that the money they make is for production and not the product which is splitting hairs just enough that I doubt that they would want to actually take them to court and get the kind of publicity that would hurt their family friendly image.

It also might have something to do with their nationality, laws being different in different countries. That predictive text is kind of eerie you know?
