It does look like minecraft with a texture pack and shaders. Though, the trees look skinnier than normal.
Hytale looks like Minecraft with a texture pack and shaders. Every Minecraft inspired block based game looks like Minecraft with a texture pack and shader.
Oh and MS just withdrew their copyright claim because it was bullshit from the start.
And an Chevy el Camino looks like an ford ranchero. Not sure why you are so upset someone can reconginize the similarities. And yeah you cant just copyright things that just 'look similar' weird i know.
Because it sets a really bad precedent. It's the equivalent of looking at an eastern-european forest in a game and being "that game is ripping off the Witcher 3". No, that's just how forests look like in the real world. And that's just how scenery looks in a block game. Are block games not supposed to have forests and caves in their games because Minecraft popularized them first?
A bad precedent? Like people finding common attriubutes and reconginizeing their source of inspiration? Lol Do you also think its a bad precedent when people look at OpenTTD and say "boy, that looks a lot like TTD" even though legally they are two different entities.
There's a difference between saying something is inspired by X vs saying something is copying X.
OpenTTD is a great example because it has its own selection of art assets that look like the original, but aren't copying the original art. The open art assets are inspired by the original. But OpenTTD doesn't come with the original assets nor can it make exact copies of the original assets because that would be copying the original.
I'm not against being inspired by something, Allumeria dev has been pretty open that the game is inspired by Minecraft. But the people I've been arguing with here have the opinion (at least it seems to be that way) that Allumeria is copying Minecraft. It is a bad precedent to say Allumeria is copying Minecraft (not just for Allumeria but a lot of Minecraft "clones" because the blocky style limits quite a lot of what you can artistically do) and it would be a bad precedent to say openTTD assets were copying original TTD assets, because that could be grounds for copyright which could lead to openTTD assets having to be scrapped.
Im old enough remembering when terraria was called "2D minecraft". Its all pointless arguments.
Just because people say stupid shit doesn't mean we should ignore it. I personally know people who ignored Terraria specifically because of that stupid comparison. Some of those people ended up enjoying Terraria after giving it a chance. I think such stupid arguments deserve pushback because they just end up hurting the game they're about.
Whos the fault here the people expressing their opinions or the people trusting other opinions without forming their own opinions?
How about you tell me.
You're right. Its the sheeps fault.
Now you're making even less sense. Who are the sheep?
The ones that cant form their own opnions? Come on keep up.
Actually I think it's the people who present their ill informed opinion that others listen to. If they never made their poor opinion those "sheep" wouldn't get the wrong opinion.
And whos to say their opinion is wrong? I think your opinion is wrong. So uh... take your own advice i guess?
Because when their opinion can't handle the criticism it has to be false. Now either say something relevant or fuck off, I'm done being nice to you.
Im not the one saying you cant have a wrong opinion. So whos the one that cant handle criticism here?
So you have no problem if I think you're a kiddie diddler? After all that's just my opinion man.
Why would i care what you think?
Maybe you don't but if for the next month add a comment calling you one to every comment you make would you still not care? After all I'm just letting other people know of my opinion.
Aw. I always wanted my own stalker.
Oh don't think of yourself that highly. I'd just set up a bot.
Imagine being so butthurt to put in the effort to setup a bot.
Imagine having nothing worthwhile to say so you resort to personal insults.
Stating you are butthurt is a personal insult? So strange you got so worked up over a minecraft clone.
You're right. I got worked up over an insignificant being who has nothing better to do with their life than to annoy others. My bad. I'll let you annoy someone else now because you clearly have nothing better to do.
I'm just sitting here waiting for that bot you're setting up.
Oh you're still going, nobody else to pay attention to you? Poor you. Got a little butthurt that you needed to downvote me? Maybe learn something about hypotheticals, I'm never setting up bots because that was a hypothetical scenario and it's not like you deserve that much attention. Now run along, I'm turning off notifications because you clearly need the attention and I'm done.
I'm all for new takes on the block game (been looking forward to Hytale and will definitely give it a go sometime in the near future) but after watching the trailer...
It would be hard for me to tell this isn't Minecraft if I didn't watch or look into the game on a semi regular basis. It looks incredible derivative.
I'm not saying it's necessarily in need of the copyright strike I don't know the rules, but I'm not surprised it got one.
So. Immediate feelings of outrage followed by a mental shrug post trailer viewing.
