Stafelloni Posted November 24, 2016 Here's a Reddit thread that talks about it. Notably, Space Trucker has ripped assets from TekWar, Strife, Half-Life and, Blood. And unfortunately, possibly from other Doom's modders and community creations as well, Brutal Doom being the most noticeable. Also, they used DoomNukem's sprites at one point, presumed during the alpha stage. 0 Share this post Link to post
HavoX Posted November 25, 2016 Tsk, tsk, tsk! Let this be a good example of how NOT to make a video game for profit! 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted November 25, 2016 What happens now? Petition Steam to have it pulled? Class action lawsuit? Raise public awareness that the game exists? I thought this thread would pertain to the Space Truckers game from the 90s. Its sure from the 90s alright by the look of it :-) 0 Share this post Link to post
Lila Feuer Posted November 25, 2016 You'd think being in the year 2016 people wouldn't be this stupid to try something like this still, as everyone would undoubtedly notice. Especially the fucking Doom community. 0 Share this post Link to post

Voros Posted November 25, 2016 The weapon sprites alone are shit, turning me off. AND the fact they stole so many things for this, is sad. Haven't they heard of Freedoom before? 0 Share this post Link to post

Avoozl Posted November 26, 2016 I have noticed a lot of people are speaking of how it ripped sounds from other games but isn't it common knowledge that some of these sounds come from sound libraries? 0 Share this post Link to post

If you don't purchase a license to use the sound library, you can't legally use sounds from it. It's not a free-for-all. 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted November 26, 2016 I have a friend with a small game not even released yet that was hit with 2 cease and desists. 1 for the name, 1 for a monster that looks like another monster. I can imagine on Cyber Monday that Space Trucker will be hit with the same things. Then again they need to comply. I wonder who gets sued in this case. Do you go after "We love wolves" for being the publisher or the 2 devs? Shit rolls downhill so if the publisher gets sued, the developer is next. Looks like the developers don't have a company. I'm surprised one dev has 3 games released and the publisher has 2 games released. It looks like people were mixed on the other 2 released games from the developers. There was also someone that made a Mugen fighter and got it Greenlit using all sorts of Simpson's characters. 0 Share this post Link to post

PureSlime Posted November 26, 2016 Big surprise, this kind of stuff gets onto the Steam store all the time. They really have no quality control beyond the hundred bucks to get it on Greenlight and enough votes on Greenlight to get it on the store. 0 Share this post Link to post

However there is not yet any evidence to indicate that they didn't actually acquire licenses for the sounds from the sound library creators/owners other than the assumption that they stole them like all the other stolen game assets. 0 Share this post Link to post

Pencil of Doom Posted November 26, 2016 I supect there's more stolen content, not only from Tekwar, Blood, Strife, Half-Life, Duke Nukem 3D and Doom, but from other commercial games as well. 0 Share this post Link to post

geo Posted November 27, 2016 I'm not sure if Valve cares if someone uses their sound. Here's the Gabe Newell Simulator that has pictures from a lot of Valve games. http://store.steampowered.com/app/407420 0 Share this post Link to post

Da Eediot Posted December 2, 2016 Although it is a rip off of other games, it looks kinda fun. But there's no way I'd pay $19.99 for it when I can play Brutal Doom for free. 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted December 2, 2016 $20 is questionable, but maybe they expect it will be on sale for $1. Otherwise people still have to pay $20 to cover it on a Youtube video about how the game is stealing assets. Then again they can record 15 minutes of footage and get a refund. Perhaps the developer needs to charge $20 because of the license fees for the assets... Maybe they're hiding under parody, fair use or journalism to use the visuals and images. 0 Share this post Link to post
Wild Dog Posted December 3, 2016 I did the same as the developers with assets and played the game. Oh boy it sucks big time... First time you hear are sounds from HL.... The gameplay is very very shitty. Not even fun. I think they also took sprites from Freedoom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jaxxoon R Posted December 3, 2016 To be fair that's completely within the license Freedoom uses and one of the goals of the project for the most part. I highly doubt they bothered to include the required copyright statement, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Clonehunter Posted December 3, 2016 I'm really confused as to why the FP graphics are so bad. Still, I managed to recognize the Chasm: The Rift mega-destroyer in one screenshot. That's an odd one to pull. I do remember seeing converted sprites show up on Realm 667, but only in the forums. It was never approved for the Armory. 0 Share this post Link to post
