Kingshot?

I hope the game called Kingshot is you guys, because they are using your game-play to advertise their game. I love your game and wanted to say something just in case!

Hey hey everybody!

Sorry if it feels we haven't been very vocal about this situation; it's indeed something we've addressed on Discord much more than on the Steam forums.

I'll answer here hoping this'll clarify our stance on the matter.

We're thankful to see so many of you messaging us and posting here to report those, but as you might or might not have seen, we got overwhelmed by how many messages about this we got already. It must be in the hundreds by now.

Something worth noting is that, though they're clearly using Thronefall's systems (with some differences, I guess, maybe?) they've copied assets and music, not used our own, so it's technically not stealing. (As far as we're aware, at least.) It's what a lot of these games do; flirting with legality so they don't get in trouble, while heavily "taking inspiration" from already existing games.

In the past, in Thronefall's Early Access, we sent a report to the Google Playstore for one such game, and they didn't do anything.

It's annoying, but it is what it is for now and it doesn't really bother us all that much, honestly. Being a small 2-man dev team + me as the CM, there's really only so much we can do, and the devs much prefer to focus their energy on working on a new game rather than trying to chase down those guys, which I can understand.

We appreciate the initiative and the intention, but since we're slowly moving on from Thronefall, (as we stated in multiple News post, namely the 2.11 and 2.06 update news post) and copycats / ripoffs are really like weeds, we've just given up on investing any time and energy into doing anything.

I hope this helps. Thank you again!

Cheers!

I am glad I wasn't the only one who wanted to make sure they were aware I hate when people steal indie devs games for phone game scammers

Glad you posted this. Just saw the Kingshot ad today. Thought it was Thronefall devs and was happy, then realized what was going on.

Just saw the ad for Kingshot and was thinking this is such a scammy behavior.

I wish there was a way to help take down the game. No respect for IP.

I saw the kingshot ad this morning and thought "this is shot for shot stolen." They plagerized the entire ad from thronefall. It's disgusting

I literally also just came here to post this. The Kingshot ad showed up in my Youtube feed yesterday and the music and sound effects felt like a straight rip from Thronefall.

Sucks to hear people are still seeing it, I hope they figure it out.
