Is this still true because the game doesn't look that bad but ehhh the reviews are iffy now and I just saw this video.

[Buried in insanity]

theres no issue with using assets from epic marketplace thats the whole point of the marketplace to help developers develop there game faster and in many cases also better since most assets there are great

[CZ-SK | Armen]

omg thank you for this post and video...its really a scam

[Inspektor]

His kicking out "game" after game. Or should i say slightly changed asset packs. Grand Emprise 2 is getting released soon. I mean cmon. Other work for many years to create their game. This doesnt deserve any respect. I hope someone stops your scam and i feel sry for everyone that falls for it. If for the ones that somehow liked it.

using asset is OK as long as you use them properly i often use assets for private project even AAA use assets. However if you use only assets and nothing in between you get asset flip which are basically games or projects that rely heavily on pre-made assets without significant original content or effort put into them. This can result in a lack of originality, quality, or coherence in the final product, diminishing the overall experience.

I feel like unreal engine is going to become associated with these shallow games with good graphics like how unity became associated with poorly made games XD.

its not as easy as ppl think. even tho the game IMO is bad theres still a lot of coding,resizing, building and animation settings behind it. this game still had a lot of effort put into it

hmm my point isn't that there no effort at all, assets are used through out the industry, Rust is one i can think of top of my head used lots of different assets for vegetation and objects around the map. I personally use lot of particle assets, the key is to have the asset be a filler. when you abuse assets you start running into problems like no consistency in ascetics or quality , and limit your creativity. have the asset help your game not lead it if you get me

when it comes to this game i cant really comment much personally I wont be trying the game out as it looks to be asset flip/cash grab looking at the developer history realising and abandoning, the game are also not cheap

I have spent a little time in game and I don't believe it is a scam. Seems more like a solo dev just trying to create something different on a low budget. Game doesn't look too bad and runs smooth. Even runs ok in VR using UEVR. My system specs below. Game could use some optimizations. I love the idea. Mechanics are simple but not always straight forward. Kinda buggy all around. I have not progressed very far. I did enjoy riding a raptor though. I would not pay full price for this but I feel like I'm getting my monies worth so far. Will update as I play more. It is kinda crappy that the dev moved on to the sequel without fixing things in this one. Maybe will come back later... Who knows?

Pico4, Virtual Desktop, UEVR

Definitely feels closer to a $10 game than a $20 game and it's not finished enough to justify making a sequel instead of acting on feedback. Nevertheless, I got 10 hours of engaging gameplay, and had more fun than I did playing Ark. The dash and glide mechanics helped with that a lot.

But again, Tbjbu2 cannot justify making a sequel when this one lets you craft a gun with no ammo and no way to craft ammo.

with that i can agree. he got good ideas yet never fleshed them out and just dump it onto steam

Lot of the reviews sound forced and paid, honestly wonder if they are or not. Seems to be a low effort asset flipper, which is a shame because it seems like a cool concept. But that's where it ends.

[Caldrin]

Assets exist for a reason.. to get used.

Also assets don't make a game.

If the game is good then I have 0 issues with store assets getting used even more so if it's small a small company or single dev.

Not picked this up yet but it's cheap enough to take a risk.

[DankWestern]

Who cares if the developers bought legal assets to use? Even the original Mario Bros. asset flipped on the NES. The clouds are the same asset as the bushes but in a different color, and we didn't hear a single person crying and whining about that.

[Cypher]

There literally is no issue with re-using assets.

That is not a complaint to me.

Hey I just wanted to thank you for being here! It's so refreshing having an expert around who can tell everyone else when it's okay to use assets, and when it's not okay. Thanks so much!

Well, other than some slight jankiness (i suspect a I have a failing GPU due to other issues with other games that used to work just fine) This game first and foremost, works, that goes a LONG way in my book, 2nd I love the whole time travel thing and now I know what I'm doing its getting interesting.
