Duckside is a literal copy of Deadside Do the Devs know this

[Bobo]

I downloaded the Duckside playtest and it is a literal reskin of deadside and it has all the same loot. Do the devs know this and is action being taken? because i have found nothing about it anywhere.

I kinda remember reading that it started as an April's fools joke but people liked the idea so much that they ran with it. It is a good way to test new stuff without making all the Deadside haters angrier, like gliding, flying, etc.

The developer of Deadside game is Bad Pixel studio.
Duckside game developer is tinyBuild Riga studio.
Both studios are independent from each other and are part of the tinyBuild family.

Despite the fact that Duckside is technically based on Deadside, it is a completely different game with its own unique gameplay. You can try the game for free during the current playtest, based on my own experience it's quite fun.

Thank you for the explanation, even gaming sites got it somewhat wrong.

Have the Deadside Devs checked it out? I haven't played it but watched a couple of video's on it. The crafting is something that makes it attractive. It would be nice to see the Devs expand on the crafting aspects of the game like Duckside. I would rather see more improvements to that part of the game then say weapons and POI's.
All though Duckside does look fun, I can't see myself getting immersed in it like I do with Deadside.

Yes, some developers have even tried this. Both studios are in contact on various subjects, so I think it's a mutually beneficial interaction.

So when are we getting gliders or planes in Deadside?

I can see bows n arrow, base lighting, better crafting interface and perhaps parachuting features coming soon for us !!

Don't lie in the internet, it makes your word useless in further debates. It is definitely not a different game, and the only thing unique about it, is you're skinned into a duck, and fly. It's a complete copy, and resin of deadside. Period. They helped make deadside, and are allowed to do this, so technically and legally, there's nothing wrong. But don't lie about it, I have a ton of hours on deadside, and I was a beta player for dockside. They are the same, only difference is the flight and ducks, and the amount of cheaters on dockside.

They knew this, why do you think they didn't open up as many servers for dockside, as they have for deadside? Because they knew the gimmick of it was enough to make profit, but not enough to spend money on extra servers. It's a business decision, and they made a good one.

To answer OP. YES, it's a resin, but no, it's not illegal, as they have rights to the game deadside, as it states on the game page, they helped make deadside.

For anyone else, that just wants a review, it's a good game, if you like the duck part, and flying, try or buy it. If you like the gameplay, go buy deadside, it's been out longer, is EXACTLY the same game other than small details, and is more developed, with more in game stuff to do.

lol really? i didnt know that. Maybe thats why deadside has duck hunting?

[PrettyFunkedUp]

Deadside is a literal copy of Scum lol

[Mr.Pickle]

Your a moron haha, duckside is based on rust and everything is copying rust and dayz and atrkov, those 3 games spit out babies of their own. Nothing is original after those games.

[Trippy]

Ufff Which people want to play a war game as a DUCK only ultra trolls? Why Ducks? Why? maybe is funny for the first time u see and then u want play as a Duck to kill other ducks over a long time? FR? No hate speech but u must be brain dead ;D
