Plagiarism

[h13.Bishop]

There is a distinct line between inspiration and plagiarism and you've crossed it too far.
I thought that crowsomething thing would be the only one but here you are.
Disgusting.
And I don't even have to guess what country are you from.

also you realize literally every game is copy of another game, right?

Do some research before you use words like "plagiarism" OP.

Because his from Ukraine so he needs Ukraine language or reason to argue with someone to feel special or important this days..90% of the countries were in war with someone though their history but no one crying online like Ukrainians,Jesus Christ..Every single new game same post and stuff..If you love you country you would defend it instead sitting on steam two contitents away insulting them by their nation..If its copy paste Team Cherry can sue them they have their own eyes no need you as their lawyer

They played a game they liked and made something very similar, so from another perspective you can see it as a form of flattery, as long as they didn't steal assets what is the problem? Why are you so emotionally invested in someone making something that looks similar to Hollow Knight?

if your going to complain about plagiarism then at least be precise about it. all of these games are based off of both castlevania and metroid hence the genre being refered to as metroidvania there are far too many games out there that have simular styles so get off your high horse and stop being a forum troll.

I think it's a shame the graphics was copied this much. Just change small things here and there, remove some things, add somethings... and it would look much different.
The devs obviously put a lot of effort into this game, it's not just a clone or cheap copy, it's an actual game, but the graphics make it seem like a ripoff.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Just maybe imitate 80% instead of 95% xD

Westerners' insane psychosis bringing in race and nationality into this, jesus christ. Copyright negligence in China is localized to China. If this was something that was unallowed then it wouldn't pass digital distribution standards. I'm gonna guess you're American and some young kid online which means there's a incredibly high chance your xenophobia and propagandized brain is bursting at the seams to try and blame somebody's place of origin rather than their personhood.

Anyways, like others said, the devs of this game and Team Cherry are not only aware of each other but in good standing with one another

this game is literally a plagiarism and not an inspiration... it recycles assets from the same hollow knight, every light, environment, every aesthetic is stolen directly from them...


Once upon a time companies shouted about plagiarism, when there was even something attributable to another brand... now you can't talk about plagiarism even when 80% of the game is the same as another.

My dude...the Atari era had companies literally building their consoles with compatibility for their competitors (Collecovision). The NES days had people ripping off Nintendo and the SNES days saw licensed games copy and paste ideas and design. DOS was filled with Doom clones. Early PC freeware games were often as carbon copy as it gets. The 7th generation is famous for identical first-person shooters - so much so that the most famous of the style looking back is a deconstruction of the genre (Spec Ops). Nowadays every company chases the same money-making trend, making their games fundamentally identical even if they look superficially different. We can talk Hollow Knight ripoffs but dear god please don't pretend companies have integrity.

your complaint doesn't make any logical sense, you're comparing large companies, which in any case have had their cases in court and have made agreements to avoid complaints, even for the sharing of some elements in their consoles... here we're talking about studio development.

small developers who plagiarize others knowing that they get nothing because they come from countries where copyright is a taboo, or where they have no ideas and know that a complaint cannot take away the money (millions).

these comparisons are ridiculous so why not mention the invention of the wheel and those who have plagiarized it since prehistoric times.


ps: the company NIVEA sued NEVE for plagiarism because its name was reminiscent of NIVEA....and the companies are not even in the same sector, but it won the case, for so little.

[LT. Vixen Fox]

well, what comparison would the Doom clones be???? I don't rebate 80% of doom assets included.

[Jaybird]

My apologies. You said "companies" so I thought you were talking about companies. Clearly I misinterpreted that and should have read "companies" as "small indie developers in the 21st century"

That is just false.

[LT. Vixen Fox]

but a game that is worth practically zero due to its terrible clone, also poor in content (voices and music) and with material taken from HK.....I think that the real expense I will make on this title to try it, will be called torrent.

show me...the settings of the gardens are the same, the attack moves and the shots are taken by force from HK, the boss version hunter is a copyrighted character taken and inserted into this game...the energy walls are those of hk ....just these things would be enough to close the project...once upon a time entire products were closed with even less.
