This game is a blatant rip-off (please don't censor us)

It’s likely. At least from the giant thread on 4chan some of them must be.

#22

what makes you think we come from 4chan? We’re from Reddit.

who knows we might get more people to see that GDT is a ripoff from GDS

Having played this demo, I feel the core of the game, the idea of the game, the execution, and too many details come too close to the game Game Dev Story that Kairosoft released. If this is indeed the case, this game is in violation of various laws. That can’t be defended. Light needs to be shed on the topic for that to shine through. That is what I am trying to achieve

#24

I’ve bought every Kairosoft game with the exception of one or two. I’m a pretty big fan.

Once you start playing at stage 2, the differences really open up.

There’s gameplay similarities - the puzzle aspect, the urge to minmax and find the optimal path to development, but that’s what strategy is I guess.

Have you played the game? Demo is too short to appreciate the differences.

#25

Spot them.

The differences, I mean…

Maybe, but I doubt it. Also I would think at least one of you is because of the giant thread on 4Chan suggesting trolling the forums.

#27

if we are what are you going to do about it? Your only mod is asleep.

#28

There is a second. He hasn’t shown up yet, but he will. Also I am open to discussion, but I don’t want to disrespect Patricks request to keep it small and civilized. I’m not saying we cant keep it civilized, but sooner or later someone will come along and take it too far.

#29

we were keeping it civilized. The thing is you and Patrick couldn’t handle criticism.

#30

That thread was far from civilized.

#31

can you give some examples?

#32

Iso metric views on both…
4 guys/desk
The president isolated from the other
The year format is the same YXX MX WX
Both have 4 main counters, hype level

Sorry it’s too hard to spot the 7 differences

#33

Actually. There are up to 6 men a desk. The leader is very close to the workers and unlike the Fun, Sound, Graphic And Creativity counters in GDS there is a streamlined. Design and Tech bar. You can control which aspects of the game you see as more important, like level design, story/quests etc. Something I always thought GDS was missing.

#34

If I knew how to get to a closed thread sure. The one I can state without going back is how long it became and how fast it got there. It was pretty crazy.

#35

so?
is that enough to call it a new game and sell it for 4 times the price of the original?

#36

Why, yes. Yes, it is.

#37

There are many more innovations I could ramble on a about. Like the special project research lab where you can create an online platform, mmo’s with expanison packs and weekly subscription income and maintenance payout. Creating a console comes with the responsibility of Quality control.

You could do that in GDS, it was called the game direction.
You could focus on developping you game quicker, better of focus on training your team whuile developping the game to gain more reseach data(called research in GDT, weird it’s as if they --)

#39

Game Dev Story was never meant to be an in-depth game, especially with it’s smart-phone release. The additions of new features do by no means validate copying the original features.
