i love how terraria is the 7th best selling game ever and they are just chill with everyone.

i adore the dedication to fun. they just keep rollin.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 7 months ago (2 children)

My understanding is they keep adding features even though they're supposed to be done because they still play the game constantly themselves and end up wanting more content.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

its true. the biggest terraria fans are the devs.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

If you do what you love, you'll be constantly working the rest of your life.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I know this is probably isn't true but it's my head cannon that they're just really afraid to put out a "state of the game [month]" posts without anything in it

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Re-Logic is just chill overall. Barely any drama and they respect their players. Which I love!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Red making the best Mario fan game is just a weird factoid.

I beg your exquisite pardon?

I don't care how much of a pirate cheapo game this is, watching Nintendo go ape over practically a knockoff someone could have made as a joke is amusing, especially with their playerbase success.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 7 months ago (7 children)

It only has a surface level similarity to pokemon. It's as much like fallout 4 as it is pokemon.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

palworld is more like ark anyway

You cannot copyright a vague idea. No matter how much Nintendo might want to.

The game is basically just magic animals in the world that you can capture and do things with. It's literally every JRPG ever. It's just mounts with extra features.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 7 months ago

I don’t play either of these games.

This post made me happy.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago

Just one more update bro

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Aren't they being sued by Nintendo rn? That's some balls from both sides lol.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That lawsuit might take years, and the requested damages from Nintendo are only $66,000. Palworld isn't going to be shut down anytime soon, even if they lose the case.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (4 children)

The request includes a term to shutdown Palworld IIRC

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There was a request to halt sales until the specific mechanics were removed, with the mechanics being throwing pokeball like items and riding monsters.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Trying do ban riding fictional animals is a tall order

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fuck it, have Nintendo sue blizzard whole they're at it. I want to see a nerd bloodbath.

ackshually 🤓

One of the patents was for seamlessly transitioning from one type of ride to another, as it happens in Legends Arceus, ie: jumping into the water while riding the stag will automatically change to the giant piranha. The irony here is that palworld lacks anything like that, you never transition between 2 different mounts without player input. The closest to that is using some pals as gliders, but you'll just get back on your feet once you touch the ground or water.

Another patent was for throwing stuff at enemies in order to begin combat. They're all hard reads, mostly because they read like they're describing how Legends Arceus works in minute detail.

I looked through a few articles but couldn't find anything about a term that would shutdown Palworld just because Nintendo won the lawsuit.

The worst case scenario would be something like Palworld having to change their "Pal Spheres" into "Pal Cubes" or prisms, or something similar.

The suit is effectively not about the money at all. It’s about setting a precedent in Japanese court to basically allow Nintendo to patent whatever they want, whenever they want, so they can go after and shut down competitors with ease. Pirate Software has a decent and short breakdown on their youtube channel iirc

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

The patents were filed after the features were already in their other game, Craftopia.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Does that mean they should stop functioning because Nintendo is suing them?

That's awesome, I thought they got murdered by Nintendo.

Nintendo are suing them, but Nintendo sue everyone.

The Japanese copyright courts are stupid, it doesn't matter how clearly something isn't a case, it still goes to trial if one of the parties is big and important enough. They don't seem to have proper separation of law and government. So political bigwigs can get involved.

Terraria seems so relaxed. They just kind of seem to be coexisting with everyone which i love.
