Palworld is craftopia with pokemon. Without pokemon it would be almost 1:1 craftopia. But the addition of the pokemon, which for some odd reason the people eating that up are somehow oblivious to the monsters being near identical to pokemon, somehow makes the game a 10/10 for those very people although it's a very low-tier game, with jankey controls, jankey models, jankey animations, jankey building mechanics, it's a

10 bucks says in 3 years it's still in EA, and the updates have improved the game with very minor updates, as they've added 2-3 new projects that are EVEN MORE ambitious. Just like what they did with palworld while craftopia is still in development.

Where does that description come from? Also, asset flip is really subjective. Some will say it's what you posted, others will say it's different. I don't think there's a definitive explanation much like what's a zombie survival game.

From basically every site when you google "Definition of asset flip". It's not "really subjective" it's the same thing. Buy assets, throw assets into crappily made game.

Asset flip has never meant "with it's demo level and just publishing that and not making a level of your own" It's meant people who take pre-purchased environments, objects and sound effects, slapping them together and making a shitty game to make a quick buck.

No, an asset flip is taking an asset with it's demo level and just publishing that and not making a level of your own. Using assets for their intended purpose is fine. This dev just tends to overuse the same asset.

"An asset flip is a type of shovelware in which a video game developer legally purchases pre-made assets and uses them to create numerous permutations of generic games and sell them at low prices. While not technically illegal, they tend to be viewed by gamers as uncreative"

No, that's definitely exactly what an asset flip is.

I went through and looked at all of the games this publisher has. I guess I can say they're trying. No, they're not asset flips but they do use assets and that's all they seem to use..

Isn't that exactly what an asset flip is?

Pretty shady if you ask me. Like the Playway.SA or w/e games like Theif simulator, mechanic simulator. etc.

I think it was nice enough, just lighthearted counter-jab. Why don't you want to discuss the matter at hand? What pushes you to derailing the conversation into this silliness?

At least I am not the one swearing here for no reason, mate.
As for conversation - there is nothing to say because we don't have enough power to do anything about all this. This is Valve platform and its all up to Valve to decide what they are gonna do with it.
If you don't like majority of the games on store then sorry but that is not Valve fault.
If you don't like people voting for tags sorry but that is not Valve fault.
If you don't like preorders and early access games then sorry but that is not Valve fault.
If you don't like constantly looking at low quality indie games then sorry but that is not Valve fault. And no - those are not overshadowing good indies at any point.

Who cares if he's using swear words? your original comment was just as rude and condescending as anyone using swear words.

Also, People can discuss their own opinions,

If you don't like other peoples opinions, Sorry, but it's not those peoples fault.
Don't like them, Don't make rude sarcastic comments on them. Just express you think differently. Does it mean your thought is correct? No, does it mean everyone is going to agree with your thought? Not at all.

If you don't like that. Go somewhere else.

Supposedly, WarCraft started as a Warhammer license game, although to my knowledge nobody at the Warhammer license owner (Games Workshop) ever heard of such a thing. Although Blizzard admitted in the past times that Warhammer as a game was a blatant Dune II/C&C1 rip-off, and considering all their other games are freely "borrowing" game design ideas from everywhere else, at least nobody was surprised there. But their entire WarCraft world is an obvious Warhammer clone with just enough changes in some art and names that it is not holding up in court as a copyright infringement. Pretty much every game they ever made follows this formula, you can trace back most of their stories and art style to known elements, and a large portion of them are openly taken by Warhammer and other Games Workshop stuff.

Welcome to just about any concept ever.

Sounds like the developer is a tool, and it's probably a good idea to just ignore that game and let him ruin himself.

What kind of games are you making?

I like 'choose your own adventure' so I've been doing a lot of that. My older projects I hand drew the art. Now I'm working with pixel art, making a game similar to Reigns.

I noticed there is a creative lack in the pinball genre, so I would like to make an adventure pinball game sometime in the future. Perhaps it is just nostalgia for those old Sierra games.

It sucks when they were all taken over by telltale.
