@humble companies don't do queerphobic shit while using your June-only rainbow logo challenge: DIFFICULTY IMPOSSIBLE.

[Noteworthy Video Games @NoteworthyVGame]

hey, @humble — maybe don't do a CEREBUS BUNDLE. maybe do a modicum of research into Dave Sim and see that he's an avowed misogynist, queerphobe, and child groomer? you know someone's a bad guy when they have a section on Wikipedia called "views on women". kinda a bad idea!

@itsVeeVR @bridgerald @AgeMarkus to buttress my point:

Tiny Survivors didn't steal assets. it took visual inspiration from Tiny Rogues and applied that to a different genre. just like Tiny Rogues took gameplay inspiration from Archvale and applied that to a roguelite structure. this is entirely normal and fair.

[Noteworthy Video Games @NoteworthyVGame]

@itsVeeVR @bridgerald @AgeMarkus can't believe I have to keep making this point, but Tiny Survivors wasn't a ripoff. it was a pretty obvious homage. it is visibly derivative, yes—but so are Halls of Torment, Zangband, Duke Nukem, and Tiny Rogues.

Wildcard is a completely different story, though.

@colorgravemhin people see "copy paste garbage" and it feels more meanspirited than playful critique.

that being said, folks are also overly defensive of Nintendo, so that could be part of why. I have gotten plenty of how dare you 'tude just from talking about why I don't like SSBU, lol.

[Noteworthy Video Games @NoteworthyVGame]

@colorgravemhin not really, cuz there are loads of classic Zelda spiritual successors. what I miss are 3D Zelda-likes (Darksiders, etc.). but I do prefer discrete dungeons and your game does look rad.

(FWIW, I think this is just an instance of "text doesn't always convey cheekiness well.")

@worthlessdoggo @coeurdeliqueur @CodeRed_dev @kindanicegames @terrybrash the real thing to be asking is... what the hell did he expect to happen? he just blatantly obliterated his credibility for NO reason. did he just want to be the villain of the day?

[Noteworthy Video Games @NoteworthyVGame]

@worthlessdoggo @coeurdeliqueur @CodeRed_dev @kindanicegames @terrybrash ehHhHh. it's derivative, but it's in a completely different genre and employs a Kenney asset pack Tiny Rogues used to. felt like a pretty clear homage. by this logic, Halls of Torment is a ripoff of Diablo.

not to defend this nonsense. it's untenable. js, it's a shame.

[kindanice @kindanicegames]

hi everyone. @terrybrash copied my game “dire decks” and is releasing it on steam under a different name without my permission. i have tried to get him to take the game down but he is unwilling to do so. not sure what to do in this situation…

@jasonschreier rn this just seems like Zelnick is using the tenses to try weaseling out of a tough question. "oh, we haven't SHUTTERED them (but we are SHUTTERING them)."

notice how nothing he says is a simple "Roll7 is staying open for the foreseeable future."—what he would say if they were.

I've been messing with the lighting again, now your flashlight flickers in dark environments (makes it more obvious when you left a dark area) and I think I improved the transition animations a bit

*Goodbody stated that

[Noteworthy Video Games @NoteworthyVGame]

@TubaronAzul @fucrate @thesofacommando @DUSKdev again, now. they're getting sweetheart deals *now*.

and even then, Goodbody (a stock analyst firm) that they're already lowering payouts to boutique/"indie" publishers such as Devolver and tinyBuild. why on earth would that not extend to smaller names, too, if it hasn't already?

Kinda diggin' how this acid ocean effect is turning out :)
