SCAM

[Hillary Clintons toe nail jam]

This is clearly a scam considering it is entirely unreal market place assets and looks like the day before and forest. I WILL not be paying money to this clearly scam of a product.

I would agree with you but this game doesn't even remotely look and feel like an asset flip. There is a reason why unreal market place assets are created. For devs who do not have the knowledge in 3D creation/modeling etc. Games have always been inspired by other games, I don't see how that's a scam.

Dark Souls has become really popular and has created a whole genre, Souls like. Are Lies of P, Lords of The Fallen, Mortal Shell etc. a scam? You have the Battle Royal genre that became popular due to an arma mod. Is every game that was inspired by it a scam?

[maître d'armes]

calm down , it is only a demo, the game is far from finished and even if it is true for now it is not bad

[Hillary Clintons toe nail jam]

games been in demo for over 3 years.

[Axitrex]

your a scam.

[Yoda]

its free? how could be a scam?

[seekr]

Also made by a single person. Literally says it on the game's page. Though with the money from their patreon I would say they are gonna hire some people I hope. Looks interesting nonetheless.

It's a Patreon project, and even if you would be generous enough to not call them outright scam, they are intended to be milking cows and be kept alive as long as there are people willing to pay the monthly Patreon fee.
All this "demo" is is a advert of their Patreon project designed to fool as many people as possible to subscribe and pay. Most likely we will never see a finished game, they update the Patreon version just enough to keep people paying but keep the progress slow enough to be able to keep the honey train going for indefinitely.

but you get cool powers. this is a different game dude

The Forest and Sons of the Forest also used assets. That's why in indie games they sometimes have similar animations or character models. It's literally impossible for one person to model an entire sandbox game by hand. Everyone is using Unreal Market place assets to some degree. Lastly, the Demo is free. The current Alpha that I've played for over a hundred hours is on his Patreon. This isn't Ubisoft. It's community driven indie gaming. Maybe stick to Mario Brothers and Call of Duty if you can't handle it.

Sadly, most of the developers I know of that were Russian/Ukrainian were mostly asset-flipping scammers. All the Ukrainian games I followed and liked suddenly stopped and disappeared a few years ago since the developers were literally forced to fight and die in that stupid political, money laundering war that's still going on now. The Russian developers were mostly untouched.



When making games in UE, you will see UE has a huge internal store where some people do nothing but make assets in the form of objects and tools for other people to use in their projects, and like any other store, the better they are, the more the price is. Some developers are great at programming but awful at drawing and vice versa; this is why many developers seem to use the same assets; it fits what they need at that time since they don't have the skill and/or time to do both.



Another thing to consider is some companies use common assets as placeholders until later in the project, and they change them out near the end with custom/unique assets so they don't waste time and money.

its fun but its too much like the forest but with waifus. enjoy it while is free.

[Mario8bit]

I played free version from itch.io and I can tell this is far from scam. A lot of features have implemented and those need well coding efforts to do so. Updating pace is slow since it is single dev project but we can see the improvements until now.

[Unbeliever]

be wary of asset flips trying to scam people out of their money. if this would be a legit developer team, they wouldn't have to rip off the most successful game of the genre (the forest).
