Holy cow. Directly calling a dev a liar is a new one for me.
Lol you're stronger than I would be trying to reason with some of these claims. Anyways, great job on the game, it's top-notch so far
guess what? We don't give a shit what you think either. So let's move on.
Really bringing up sales numbers of a first party game with the great production values of Ori vs an indie like HK... It's not me that needs to get a grip. I was obviously talking about the public consciousness and community, which HK has built a huge following out of.
I credit all the other developers out there that I copy ideas from all the time! I have 0 issues with that. I love Nintendo and From, I bring them up in almost every interview. I love the old Igavanias, I also bring that up a ton. I just didn't like Hollow Knight, at least not enough to copy from it. Team Cherry made a great game and we definitely need more of that and it's awesome that there's more good Metroidvanias out there, since when we released Blind Forest, there was Aquaria and Shadow Complex and that was pretty much it... Trust me, if I take inspiration from something, I have no qualms talking about it, cause I don't see that as a bad thing. Everyone copies from everyone else and that's totally fine. There have been numerous games that lifted our mechanics and art style and so on and I know EA greenlit Unraveled because Ori was a huge success, they told me so in person. But do I have to admit that I copied something from Hollow Knight even though I really, really didn't, cause I didn't like the game? No, get outta here, man :D
Dude, you're taking this way too personal on behalf of Team Cherry with some unfounded accusations. Are you related to them or something? Chill out, take a break from the keyboard.
You have the patience and disposition of a saint to still be here politely engaging with the kind of crowd that spews this toxic narrative. Kudos for valuing engaging the community enough to deal with these most rotten of apples that are so prominent around these parts.
Not disappointing at all -- you expect to spew toxic, needlessly confrontational crap, you're going to get some hard truths back. What's disappointing is the way the community in this thread is treating a creator going out of their way to politely engage them in discussion, as many of us don't do because it's not worth it as we're seeing here. You're proving an age-old belief that is prominent in this industry for a reason, that it's not worth engaging. thomasmahler has been a class act and, once again, ERA is embarrassing itself.
Buying a map for each area isn't a unique concept lol. Do you hear a little jingle when the map maker is nearby in Ori?
It's amazing how these posters lack self relfection and can't see how ridiculous they sound.
To his credit, if I were him I would've told that user to fuck off long ago.
wow wow wow
I.
What kind of post is this? Calm down.
you're really just gonna say this without receipts? okay lol gg man
