VN Ren'Py Tales from the Unending Void [v0.19 Extra] [Perverteer]

[Snugglepuff]

Again..Parody laws come into effect. Conversation ends there really, no arguing against that law.

There was no parody though. Of Twi'Leks or Star Wars in general. It was using a part of the "Hoose of Moose's" property without permission, and that hasn't worked out well for even non-profit remakes/mods of video games.

However, if you wish to keep being pedantic about it, how the hell do you think Brooks and Zucker/Abrahams have got away with it for so long?

By making actual parodies, the most relevant and iconic of which would clearly be Spaceballs.

The million porn parody cartoons all over the net. Also, if they can't sue a porn company (which generates far more exposure and 'bed press' for the IP)...they sure as hell arent for a private individual.

They aren't mainstream, and don't appear on mainstream platforms that can be freely accessed by people of all ages. On Steam, all it would need would be one user tag of "Star Wars", and it would gradually come to wider attention, including that of "The House".

I'm just going to assume MC's dad is engaged in some bad business.

 

[Grubb]

Instead of Twi'leks people got Space Orcs. Still good.

 

[Kambabolsa]

For when in steam or will we have to wait for the final version ?

By final version do you mean the full game?

If so that's going to be quite a long way off.

4 updates min and 100 or so max.

All joking aside, I remember Perverteer saying this game would get more updates than Sisterly Lust, so the minimum is quite a bit higher.

Are there people in this image, there doesn't seem to be a soul there...

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Just a quicke question: are there - or will there be - any sex scenes with Thim/girls? Thanks!

No.

So he should risk his job as a indie developer by having his games removed from Patreon and Steam because you think Disney wouldn't go against him?
He is not jumping any gun, he is actually being smart about it. Disney is known for going after small business because of copyright issues before. There is no such thing as too small for "the Rat".

No offense to Perv, but if they were being "smart about it", then they wouldn't have made her look like a Twi'lek to begin with, would they? Or named the species "Twi'll". If they thought there was even a remote possibility that there might be a problem with this, why did they do it in the first place? Because there's no way they didn't know what they were doing, especially since they also make a joke about it.

So can't Perverteer realized later after a few updates that the issue exists and endanger his work?

Why do i get the feeling that you are using this to bring another time your hate over the alteration? You think taking one more jab at the dev with this passive aggressive behaviour will make him change idea?

That did not work the several times you tried here before and neither when you started trying to do the same thing on his discord channel. The change is done, move on.

 

[Avaron1974]

Fuckadoodledum

Is he still going on about that change?

Get over it already, it's been weeks now. To drag it on this long and over discord as well as the forums is just sad as all hell.

You know full well it isn't changing back.

No.

You sure about that?

He did give James the option to fuck 2 of the girls in Sisterly Lust. Has he said it won't happen here?

Funny thing to note, I went an entire run trying to not knock up Mia, to give James a chance, and MC still ends up being the one knocking her up.

So even if Thim manages to get some, the deck is heavily stacked against him long-term.

Played through for the first time. Great game, feels more immersive than SL.. to me anyway. Feels like there's more to the characters too, strangely drawn towards Lilly more than Eva.

Great effort by the dev.

 

[ThatGuyWithaAfro]

Odd to change the appearance of the race... Lucas flim don't have precedent over how something looks. Maybe change the name to be very foreign from Twi'Lek...

But then again, Dev made it obvious he was parodying the Twi'Lek's of SW, can't even play dumb... So probably no choice unless he wants the mouse to take out that 30" demolisher.

 

[Snugglepuff]

They literally do "have precedent" over how something looks, because they own Twi'Leks as a fictional non-human race. Anything inspired by them in other fictional works can look similar, but not identical. That's theft of IP, breach of copyright law, plagiarism etc.

 

[Avaron1974]

Lucas flim don't have precedent over how something looks.

That's exactly how copyright works.

They own the look, the name and everything inbetween and have no issues bending an amateur dev over a barrel and dry fucking him for everything he owns.

disney not lucasfilm to be precise.

Well we see things differently... As a person who has seen many movies and games with identical races, and 'unique' things but just named differently... Or adding minor changes as to avoid copyright... I think if he just changed the name and gave a different background and didn't make it obvious he was parodying SW... He would be fine..
