Minecraft colony mod rip-off

[Shuttah]

Thomas Lacuzzini created this mod in 2011 and yet you, two Dutch developers, act like you created something unique. I am not taking it from you, it's your own standalone game that you worked on but the concept and the idea are not yours.

Anyway, for the pricetag you put on it (Minecraft was for like 10$ while in EA) I hope you won't abandon the game and release it unfinished. I wish you good luck and a lot of patience with the developement.

I was recently trying to remember a mod that this reminded me of.

Millénaire mod

[Token McFatkid]

I couldn't agree more. This 'game' should be $5, $10 TOPS.

When I can LITERALLY load up a game with infinitely more depth with a mod that does everything this 'game' does (much much better), there is obviously a problem.

Again, I would have no problem with this if they weren't asking for double what Minecraft cost in EA.

Despicable...

I expect the development of this to go on in a different and more expansive direction than a simple mod. Even if the base idea came from a mod, you can't worry about that. There is a mod for everything you can imagine and you will run yourself into a Simpsons-Did-It situation if you only care about pure originality. The game is awesome and fun either way and look forward to what the future holds for it.

Is it similar? The concept probably is, but the execution is different. Don't forget that not everyone knows of Millenaire Mod for minecraft. In fact I didn't know it existed till you said something. So assuming the devs did when they created this game is wrong.

Also stop complaining about the price...seriously guys it's not that much. Why does everyone get their panties in a bundle about how much indie games cost.

Omg, It's a "rip off" i would have never guessed. It's a set price tag why complain? don't buy the game... clearly on benefits/living of mummy? nobody with a job would simply complain about price.

Finish him!

It amazes me how many people will come to the forums of a game they do not own or play just to bash it. Do you really have nothing better to do? Go play minecraft.

I agree $20 is too much for a EA game. It's a game that likely has bugs, and they could be game breaking. There is no guarantee it will ever be finished, or even see another update. These days I don't buy EA games unless I can get them for under $10. For me, it's just not worth it.

And Nuttycide, it's not the fact it's an indie game that causes people to balk at the price, but the fact it's an EA game. There is a rather consistent track record of EA titles never being finished. I own a few dozen EA titles, and none have come out of EA, with most now being dead without an update in over a year. I don't mind a $5 game never getting finished, but at $20, that's nearly a weeks grocery budget for me.

I'll watch it and see if the price drops, or if it becomes part of a Humble Bundle. I waited 3 years for simcity (2013) to reach a level I felt was fair, and I'll do the same here.

so because its a voxel game and features colony/villager based stuff, means its a rip off of a minecraft mod? is this what the internet is doing now with its poorly thought out trolling? "ohhh look its a voxel game, must be a minecraft clone ripoff agian, gg" like as if minecraft somehow is all of the Voxel sandbox Genre... you do realise that even the minecraft colony mods arnt even origional either, and can be concidered rip offs of other games that came before the mods right?

[Trixie_I]

if you guys think 20$ is expensive for an EA title, you idiots should look around the steam store a bit more, there are games that cost 45$ that are in EA, stop complaining, get a damn job or go play something else instead of crying that it's too expensive, seriously, if you think 20$ is a lot of money, you guys need to check what the heck is wrong with your lives if you're crying about 20$

[Yang Xiao Long]

Don't you want to support the developer of the game with a sustainable income so he doesn't need to work and can spend time more on this game? Also on the whole 'rip off' thing, Minecraft is pretty much a ripoff of Dwarf Fortress, so nobody wins in that fight.

1. Don't assume anything unless you've tried it re: "likely has game breaking bugs"

2. You should be focusing your efforts on other things than video games all-together because even a $10 game would be half a week of food.

[DeadMeat]

It does have game breaking multiplayer bugs......... I like the game but the concerns everyone has are valid. You can't even play on a MP server due to serve lag from zombies and this could be fixed very easy with dedicated servers. You would think that this issue would be looked at first thing seeing as how so many play this game and bought this game for the multi player aspect. We will see where the game is a couple months then I will have my answer on the devs credibility.

[darrylhs]

Lol $20.00 is a weeks groceries get stuffed. That's one trip to a fast food joint. One movie ticket without pop corn! If it's a weeks food where you are sell you computer and eat for a year

[darrylhs]

There must be thousands of out of work game Devs as everyone seems to know better how to make and price a game than the Devs these days
