Revealing the ONE THING I still dislike about V8!

[Michi]

I'll say the same Dave replied before, never heard of SUCH rule especially since I'm a GFX designer, but now let's come to aim something important, you're comparing Gunz interfaces with LoL, Gunz is a dying game that we all do our best to keep alive, how would something like making interfaces similar to LoL would help Gunz to live without the fact that it would be said at least 10 times per day "Those interfaces look like LoL's" "You copied LoL's interfaces" and bla bla bla, can you explain a bit your idea of a such a dumb rule please? Clearly at my 21 yo I'm a dimwit for not knowing such thing.

the thing is games rip off of each other all the time and it doesn’t seem like they get much, if any, heat for it. game developing from my pov seems like an art and never will be perfect. if it works, it works.

ot: I love the v8 interface a lot... and it is very functional.

The thing is that people of these days notice and start all the time saying "You copied this from that" "this is a copy" and in the end not even original ideas come up now because people always finds something that looks like from another game(Though nowadays no games copy gunz cause it's way too old already).

fortnite = a bunch of ripped off games combined into one
fortnite = $7billion dollar game

gunz is very old and changes should always be welcomed, and if an interface is “ripped off” but in our own style and creativity, I don’t see a reason for anyone being annoyed (and if they are, it wares off within a few minutes of gameplay)

This is very true, don't know what the other guy is talking about. Game designers copy each other all the time or rather 'borrow' elements from other sources because frankly, it's much easier and a lot cheaper. If you look at most game trailers/concept art (even for AA+ games), you'll start to notice a constant familiarity in themes; it's solely because originality is expensive. The same holds true for pretty much most areas of game development, right down to even the game mechanics; if something is known to work well, it'll probably be recycled a bunch of times until it's worn out.

You could get into a whole separate conversation on the boundaries in what defines 'stealing' ideas and what constitutes 'being inspired' and the whole ethical dilemma that comes with each. Point is, borrowing ideas is extremely common in game development and even encouraged.

Also @Amers, dark mode would like to have a word lol. I swear dark mode themes are found in pretty much every site/app now. I wouldn't say brighter colours necessarily means better, especially considering apps like flux aren't really compatible with games.
