The plagiarism part is about creature designes. They are very simillar to Pokemon at times, down to proportions being nearly identical
That isn't the most especially convincing thread to me (I'm not entirely sure I buy that those models being similar means anything, but will wait for more info before rushing to judgment), but more to the point it's so sad that after leveling these accusations, they have to go so far out of their way to tell people not to harass the artist. Like yikes, it's wild that people who don't like a game have to be convinced not to harass somebody instead of, you know, just.... not buying the game?
And? You realize how little that holds up in copyright court? Have you heard of aquaman and namor? Or Donald duck and daffy duck?
Why does this has to mean anything legally? I see an obvously traced asset, and what I get from that is that there was not a drop of passion put into the designs. It just adds to the feeling of this game being uninspired as fuck.
Whether it's legal or not has nothing to do with if it has a drop of passion.
Look dude, I don't get a rats ass about this game. It looks like a shit game. But it's not illegal to be a shitty game.
