Is this just an asset flip of The Long Drive?

[Maraboustork]

I'm not complaining, in some ways it is a huge improvement, but they are the exact same game, right? Zombies will "sometimes" show up in this game, but I'm pretty sure that is it. Hell, even the buggy-eyed bugs are the same lol.

i am wondering this as well

Similar concept? Sure. Are these guys using some stock assets for now? Sure. Free assets are available to any dev. There's no harm in it. Lots of companies do it. Models can be changed later on. The point is to get everything to work properly, first.

This game is already miles ahead in development and there will be more to it than just driving and hoarding supplies for no real good reason. There will be a campaign and as well, other game modes.

Instead of looking at this game as being an asset flip, maybe try seeing it as a middle finger to Genesz (through the power of association) for stringing along his community for so long while delivering nothing more than a concept in a span of more than half a decade. Still there is no end in sight for his game either. The core of The Long Drive isn't even set in stone yet, after half a decade.

Let these guys cook. It's early days still. At least we got access to the concept without paying a retail fee for this demo. Genesz charged a fee to access his demo concept. That says a lot about Genesz and these guys.

Lots of amazing things are coming, I've been testing the new terrain system as well as the new demo vehicle

Well if someone needs a middle finger is not Genesz, but the developer of this blatant rip-off.

Couldn't agree more, this will be funded by Patreon, a soundtrack, supporter bundle, and a hundred dlcs before it leaves early access. I've seen way too many of these games do it.

another go forward pointlessly to the eternity and beyond simulator.

Yeah? Well Genesz is asking a retail price for a broken POS. These guys offer a free demo to try before they throw their money at it. I'd say these guys are far more consumer friendly. They don't want our money until their product is sound. Can't say the same for Genesz. Half a decade in and he can't even get an engine rewrite done properly in a year's time.

Yet here you are, interested enough to leave a discussion post in this eternity and beyond simulator. These guys live rent free in your head. XD

Nobody is ripping anybody off here. That's just you and your kind being haters because you're butt hurt fanatics of those other games.

All sorts of manufacturers make plastic cups. Should all those manufacturers shut down because only the creator of the plastic cup is allowed to make plastic cups? Seriously? Where do you people come up with these idiotic notions?

It's a demo, McFly. Not a release retail product, but a free demo of a product that is in development. What part of that do you not understand, McFly? Think McFly! Think!
