The thing is they literally took pokemon 3D assets, edited them a little and that’s all
Because pals look like this

self-explanatory
For the thumbnail image, they took meoth face, purugly body and that’s it
These designs are not “inspired” they simply imported the assets from a pokemon game on blender or something, used “copy and paste” for different body parts and that’s it, job done that’s their completely original creature, totally not copied
it wouldn’t have sold millions of units
People started to sell their steam accounts that owned the game and keys for the game for hundreds of dollars when it was announced the game was some bad that it was going to be removed from steam
If something is popular it will sell, the quality does not matter. You have the best example in Pokemon itself
No one will know what you’re looking for better than you, but people have been making games inspired by Pokemon for a long time now.
A Pokemon clone with high production values made in Japan. Or if it’s not made in Japan one that uses it own art style, I simply can’t stand the “Fake anime” aesthetic that most indies use, like they learned to draw using this as refference
Think of Shin Megami Tensei (but not SMT V, that one sucks, they removed the dungeon crawling and the puzzles)
As far as I can tell The Day Before was overhyped early and people bought it because of the marketing
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDayBefore/comments/lwaach/people_keep_saying_its_a_scam_whats_the_scam/
That’s a 3 years old post. Everybody knew it was a scam back then. to the point the studio released “We are not a scam, trust me bro” statements (which made it more obvious it was a scam)
I don’t remember hearing about it before
Internet has been talking about “pokemon with guns” for 2 years or so since the developers were already famous because they launched a “Breath of the Wild” knock off (Craftopia) that also sold well (not at the same level of palworld, but for being the first title of a brand new indie studio it sold really well)
The problem with TemTem is that it’s an always online game, if the servers are turned off you won’t be able to play, not even the single player campaign so it’s a hard pass.
And the art style of both games are not my cup of tea, the do a disservice selling me the game.
Pokémon with guns wouldn’t have gotten millions of sales on its own
The day before sold millions (but this one was refunded by millions too) and everybody and their mom knew it was a scam since it was announced like 2 or 3 years ago. Internet is weird, if something becomes viral it will sell, the quality does not matter, people just wants to be in
I don’t thinks so. It popular because “pokemon with guns” became a viral meme which sucks.
A a discontent pokemon fan myself I would love someone to make a pokemon clone since Game Freak is not really interested in doing good pokemon games anymore. But “Ark Survival Evolved with knockoff pokemon skins instead of dinosaurs” is not what I want
The last Pokemon game I played was Y. It was largely the same game as Blue and Gold
Except they removed all traces of dungeons/caves (they are simple hallways with no exploration) and puzzles
If it’s so sad, developers could, you know, stop developing for iOS
from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) to its successor, Counter-Strike 2
It’s the same game. CSGO was updated to CS2
That’s cool and all, but the game is not on sale anymore and most people refunded it
*Not confuse it with “The Outer Wilds”

It looks like it was not made for the type of content I created
Are real alternatives out there?
I wanted to create content in the fediverse for the fediverse, but after giving it a though uploading videos on youtube was the best option
I looked at peertube but:
-Most instances have limits
-I’d need to research who is using that instance because
-if it’s filled with tankies or other types of undesirable people some fediverse users will ask to be defederated from that troublesome instance and I’d get punished even if I did nothing wrong
In the end upload a video on youtube was the option that gives less headaches
Yeah, you can use wayland on nvidia (like I said wayland give me less headaches than xorg), but the drivers do not support it officially
I posted my issues in the official forums of a couple of linux distros, followed the instructions they gave me and the conclussion was that my speciffic hardware configurarion does not get along with linux for whatever reason
Do we know when AMD is going to launch the new hardware?
The thing is I tried linux and I have issues. To the point Wayland gives me less headaches than xorg (and nvidia drivers still do not support wayland. Yeah, that bad)
I had bad luck with my specific hardware configuration and linux
Another issue is Microsoft and the end of Win10 support later next year (my hardware is not compatible with Win11, I can’t update). It’s the perfect storm
Also my current GPU does not have DVI neither (I have a HDMI to DVI cable, so that’s not really a problem) it’s more about missing modern features (like freesync) and the whole pc being “limited” (not in the literal sense, I know monitors don’t cause bottlenecks) by the old screen
Will they hire Hideki Naganuma? he composed some tracks for a couple of indie titles inspired by JSR
Could we sabotage the LLM training so the data became worthless?
Like adding to our comments stuff like “2+2=5” “Abraham Lincoln discovered America” and whatever silly statement you can think of
