Universe of Comics Forums - General - Looks a lot like a RIP

#1 May 26 2012, 12:33 pm

That's funny, because we didn't, at all whatsoever. I will admit that my inspiration for some of the systems come from Charmed; Rebirth of Magic, those systems only being the how world information is displayed, aswell as Character Information, and I've always been a fan of Black Interface.

So again, before you assume that of which you do not know, please, try to understand what was actually done.

Thanks.

Yut Put	Either way, it's a piece of sh*zt. It doesn't matter if you rip it or not if you're just recreating the same crappy system. For once I agree with mr. Eternal here

Sage of Light	I like how the description tag for this game claims it's "inspired" by DC and Marvel. I figured that meant it was like City of Heroes or Champions Online where it was a unique setting. To my surprise everything is quite literally ripped from every possible comic medium. There's a difference between inspiration and plagiarism.

Terrabear	The entire point of it is so people can roleplay things from DC Comics and such. They are added the same. To be honest, I don't care if you don't like it. We have players who do, and who will play because of what we added. It's made for the players enjoyment, so if you don't enjoy it, don't play.

Yut Put	I could honestly care less about the fact that this is a fangame or even the fact that it sucks, the thing that irks me is that it is on the front page and most definitely does not meet the standards a submitted game should meet let alone a game that represents the rest of the website by being on the front page

Terrabear	Alot of our players like it. The game is pure RP, and alot of games that are on the front page aren't even active, or have ever been hosted. The game is fine in somes standards. In your opinion it is not. It is more or less pure text based with a map and icons. The verbs are not used and only there to provide a general idea of what each powerset can do.

Zane5494	Yutput, I agree... this doesn't meet the standards to be representing BYOND and be displayed on the front page. Terrabear, Yeah, that's all that should really matter to a game developer... if your players like your game, stick with it.

Yut Put	The game is "fine" according to the shallow standards of the legion of 10 year old children who play it. We do not like our community being represented as a bunch of 10 year old kids making and playing games. That's the stereotype that has ruined this place already

Terrabear	Interesting how you can just openly and blatently insult someone and their game, yet you have the nerve to call another immature? Most of the people who play the game are fairly old, and sure, we get some people that aren't very.. 'sensible', but I'd love for you to point out a game where every player is an intelligent, wonderful person.

Kindredtown	Yut Put, I guarantee you Universe of Comics is not plagued by ten year olds that your games may have been plagued with. And to be honest, I've seen one of your games that's on the front page of Byond and from what I saw the coding pales in comparison to that done by Terra.

Kindredtown, I disagree on the part about his coding pales in comparison to Terra's... but I agree that insults towards someone and his/her game is completely unnecessary "trolling". Yutput, I understand your reasoning and intentions...but don't blatantly insult someone in such a manner... that's immature in itself, isn't it? If your criticizing this game's community for being "immature 10 year olds"... why act like a "immature 10 year old"? Be respectful....

Falacy	This is obviously a Zeta rip, but even if you want to believe their ridiculous claims that it isn't, it is still themed on Marvel/DC comics, so why is it listed as original? The very first screen that you see when you connect has copyrighted material plastered all over it.

Well, I really won't try to change your mind about it, as it's useless. It's not ripped, but it does have material that is taken from non-byond games such as Chrono Trigger. Some of the systems are based on CRoM's systems, like the way you recieve information(Yellow "Client Information", Red "World Information", Green "System Information") but that's about it.

I'll change the 'original' wording to something else if it 'pleases' you, but I consider it original. I did all the coding myself, and as a coder with a year of experience, I think I did fairly well. Yut Put, your immaturity shows no limits. It's sad, you may not remember me, but we played your Pokemon Game together, the good one(Titled "Pokemon"). Don't know what happened that made you such a douchebag.

Oh well. Not my place to care. It's a game meant for us to roleplay things that are Comic Related, and that's how it's going to stay.

Yut Put

But not on our front freakin' page. It's a fan-game, it's of horrible quality, and it would not pass under the most basic submission conditions.

Maturity is being able to step back and see what you are and what your flaws are and be able act on that. If you see this game as being good or original, then BYONDite laws state you are an idiot

It doesn't matter if you programmed it from scratch or not. The fact that this is of terrible quality compared to games it is listed up near(feed, etc) is embarassing

SevenSinsGaming	Funny that I don't ever recall saying "PUT THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE." I have no control over it, so stop bitching about it and talk to an admin. You speak of how being mature is being able to step back and see your flaws, when you're only calling names like a child. That game is not going to change for your liking, as we like it how it is.

Okay, now this has just turned into a trolling contest.

Yutput, It really is immature of you to start insulting Terra and this game.... Okay, fine... it may have terrible quality in YOUR opinion... but from as far I can tell... it has more players than a lot of games right now... so stop with trolling... it's pathetic. I understand where your coming from... but BYOND is ultimately community based and this game has players... enough to be on the "front freakin page"... so chill.

Terrabear, you should probably just lock this thread... only way I can see this ending.

btw, I'm not on anyone's side... just think that Yutput is randomly trolling right now and I highly dislike when people pointlessly insult someone else or their property... even though I do agree on somethings he has said.

Yut Put	its called "giving up"

Eternal_Memories	It seems like you've used one of those old dragon ball sources to create this game, the character creation, the tabs, the verbs... Awful!
