probably an additional reason for selebus's success though is he reached out to other game makers like hero's harem guild (still better than both the games you mentioned even if the last time I heard anything about it was over half a year ago) and advertised between discord and patreon groups
HHG actually reached out to me and I am so incredibly thankful for that.
Heh and who sued him and how? Only way this could've happened is if Illusion had a problem with him using koitatsu for his game. You cannot sue anybody for characters made in koitatsu, that is impossible. Unless maybe we talk big licenses but then he would've to sell the game and not merely take donations.
Ah so its not the game essentially, its more about connections, discord and patreon groups he knew beforehand. So essentially good marketing?
if you 3d render a unique design in a 3d printers software the design doesn't belong to the 3d printer company.
not really as selebus is bigger than all the people he made connections with at this point by a huge margin, but i'd say that helped spread it
neat, didn't realize it was the other way around
I can't find anything on that topic. But the Thread for that game is also huge.Although Arc did replace every asset he stole (with low-quality, shitty-looking characters) which chased away even more fans
All of that falls flat, when you use another game to make your game. You're essentially stealing everything from that game to make your own. Microsoft sells Word as a tool for people to easily write documents. The intention is that you use it to create something out of it.
I'm fine I think. Was just wondering, thank you for your comment.Also, this game is a visual novel – basically a novel with images and sex scenes to compliment. So the focus is the novel, the other stuff is just a tasty side snack. That's how visual novels function, and some people just don't like it, just like some people don't like to read books. There's nothing wrong with that
thank you, I know practically nothing about law, when I read the explanation for why they were getting sued over using someone elses character design that was the best analogy I got over it. I'm drinking now too. rum, peach soda, grenadine, and lime juice
They don't care, because your game essentially falls under a "parody" and you're not selling a product. You take donations for your "work" which can be understand in fairly broad terms.
Yeah I obviously don’t know the whole situation because I’ve never played CK, but any legal action that was taken against Ark would have been from the creators of the assets he pulled from. It would not have come from Illusion. I can’t stress enough that Illusion does not own everything made using their products.
Yeeeeeah that’s not how it works, man.
Yes they do. Its their game, its their character creator. Every polygon on those characters, was handmade by a person working in Illusion. Its their creation by definition.
yeah he made it really clear it was the people who designed the character used not the company that made the game. He lifted the designs from several guys personal collections of characters without asking and put them in the game. I thought I was being clear on that and I'm sorry if I wasn't.
Do you have a background in law? Because I do and I’m literally explaining to you why it doesn’t work that way, lmao
I'm going to be blunt, you sound like you have very little idea what you're talking about on legal matters, and you're trying to argue with a dev that has both first hand experience with the subject and apparently a legal background... you're not winning this.
That is simply a childish outlook on things. You think if you put a legit price tag on your game and put it on steam, Illusion will just ignore that? Well and I'd argue they do protect their assets, you're not some kind of rivaling company that tries to sell those assets or profit from using those assets in a copyright protected game.
