Complete Rip-Off of The Forest

[Raptor]

I've never seen a game so blatantly rip complete assets and mechanics from another, right down to the exact same AI for the tribes, same menus for building, same dynamics and mechanics, etc.. I can't believe they haven't been sued by Endnight games, but I won't be surprised if they eventually are.

It's absolutely disgusting and disingenuous that people support this and won't even mention that's it's a BLATANT RIP-OFF in the reviews. Do not support this game until it changes so many of these obviously stolen assets.

The only disgusting thing here is people who post threats about copyright infringement without having a single proof!
However I wonder where Endnight games got their ideas from, I am pretty sure that a lot of their mechanics, ui and whatever was inspired from other games

[LaOldi]

Well then you should blame the whole video game industrie and every new game that came out and will come out. Because everybody is "stealing ideas". Some call it inspiration and evolution. And if you would play the game then you would realise that it is alot different to the forest. And for me the similarities where the reason to get the game in the first place.

Then the forest ripped Stranded Deep off...and stranded deep ripped of another game before....
I own also The Forest and I don't really see it being ripped off by GH, in case I see too much similarity with The Long dark, thing I hope will change in the future...

[fatal1tyx3]

yes the forest used idea's from other games because they where easy to implement most games use some factors of other games

maybe they asked for consent to use there idea's

[JohnMac]

Pro Evo Soccer is a rip-off of FIFA....

[Fabiolus]

I had a similar idea for a game, should I talk to OP before developing? He seem to know lots about games.

Hey Social Justice Warrior, let End Night talk to Creepy Jar if they feel stuff has been used without permission.

Lemme splain some things to you lucy:

1. Code is plagerized by other programmers who plagerize by other programmers. Happens a heck of a lot. Trust me. Credit where credit is due as a special thanks to and someone's name or business.

2. The are code chunks, modules, programs for sale by independent developers/ 3rd parties. You can buy AI routines, you can water effects, you can buy terrain generators. Unity has an awesome selection of tutorials as well. I know I use the f'ng thing. Funny thing THE FOREST AND GREEN HELL USE UNITY! OMG!

3. Art assets. You can buy premade models of plants and animals. I own asset packages XFrog and I buy individul models from Turbosquid.

4. Inspiration isn't illegal.

5. Just because you wrote this I'm buying copies of the game for my son and a friend.

In my opinion they are 2 very different types of survival games...
The Forest has very little basic survival, but is more focused on base building while Green Hell has no building system except for a few preset structures however the main focus is on basic survival which is much deeper and a hell of a lot more challenging than The Forest - I wouldn't say that one is better than the other because it would be like comparing apples and oranges, they are both fruits but other than that they have very little in common :)

I've considered the argument that has been presented and I can't seem to find any facts within the OP's "persuassive essay." I do not find the post either imformative or backed by any citations of the warrented claims being true. I find the demanding conclusion not to support the game unfriendly and very unpersuasive. It seems very emotionally driven and devoid of logic. Clever try but you failed to convince me. I'll continue to support the devs unless something in future changes my mind.

i agree with that gd point

1. don't like it, don't buy it
2. if there would be legal issues, let the 2 companies sort it out, we don't care. i doubt though because buying assets from unity store does not give someone exclusive rights over them
3. i don't like the forest, and i love this game, as buggy as it (for now i hope), so if it is a ripoff, it is better than the original.
4. both are made with unity, and i bet they bought some assets that are used in both products, so what, they could be placeholders, and changed in the future, but if not, meh, they are integrated seamlessly in the environment.

i don't even know what is the purpose for a thread like this.
i get it when we talk about asset flip games. but green hell is already way beyond that.
