Russia is over. The end.

So if I understand correctly, the guy is using pirated software to steal assets from other games and then claims it's ok huh.
Hey buddy, just to let you know, when someone slurps your delicious asshole it means they appreciate you and what you're doing in a possibly non-sexual way.
I welcome you and all your assets; stolen or otherwise; to this place and hope you will stay. Most new developers tend to set up camp in a joyous place called 'Prosperland' where we can all follow their work as it is created in a central location. I would send a message to the administrators to get your own plot of land in that camp.
Remember that the great Cleve Blakemore also spent many a year in Prosperland finishing up his masterpiece Grimoire. Why shouldn't you do the same?
I think I speak for everyone here (even those that like to make jokes) that this place is a perfect fit for you.

He did say (during one the greek...erm...texts?) that he aims for Lands of Lore gameplay mainlyI guess it just makes me sad that there's so much effort being put into a combat mambo RT blobber like Grimrock, and if you were going to rip off something, at least do Lands of Lore or Anvil of Dawn.
You're digging yourself deeper and depper.
So the game was "intended to be the next one in the series" ( not my words, yours ) and you called it "Eye of the Beholder 4" which is an intellectual property infringement. You can't argue that it was accidental.
You ran an IndieGogo with those stolen graphics, and got a cease-and-desist and had to shut it down. Then instead of learning from your mistake, you ran another crowd-funding campaign which also got cancelled.
The fact that none of those campaigns succeded and you ultimately got no money is irrelevant, at no point you're acknowledging that what you're doing is wrong. In fact, tomorrow you could launch another campaign and get money from it and still see nothing wrong from that.
Stop trying to play the victim by saying that you'll eventually replace that artwork. It's not how it works in the real world. Whether you want it or not, including other people's work in your campaign makes you benefit from their work, because you attract backers ( and get money ) from other people's work which they did not give you permission for. That's theft.
You're a thief.

You are talking alone and you made your own conclusions. I didn't run the Indiegogo yet and I NEVER GOT ANY CEASE AND DESIST LETTER FROM NO ONE.
NONE OF MY CAMPAIGNS WERE CANCELED. And these are your false words. I never stolen nothing from anyone and you have read my post wrong.
The fund anything website was closed because was and still is in maintenance mode. My game is not have the title "Eye of the Beholder IV" anymore and I don't say that anything is accidental.
And if I am a thief you are an asshole.
My hovercraft is full of eels.Hey you, Unstuck from your mind.
First games that I made were written on the 286 and EGA videocard (these several pages of video memory was god send for quick changing screens).What are you asking here? You know nothing about game programming in generic.
wav OK.The game uses .png images with transparency channel.
The musics are .ogg .mid and .wav
Also there are lots of levels. What bullshits are you saying about magic bars and rune stones.
Joy! But I asked about inspirations and mechanic. And you could easily understand it if you would take fucking five minutes to read my posts carefully.I am not using graphics from Dungeon Master and Ultima Underworld.
OK, sounds good. But how much of that is in the game already.The game is not just a replica from Eye of the Beholder. There is not Eye of the Beholder IV anymore.
Unstuck , how to explain you in english. The game is much different than Eye of the Beholder and that is I was changed to "Dark Lord Beholder" and I changed whole interface and there are people who complain why I have 2 players in the party.I just keep the retro game play feeling of the originals. The game have lots of NEW dungeons, cities, towns, villages, shops, bosses, puzzles, new battle system, crafting,new spell system, new portal system, new lock picking system, new inventory system, new game rules,puzzles,introduction,mutliple finales,ingame cinematics,town maker,labyrinth maker,there will be voice actors,new armor set, new weapon set,new races,new characters. None from all of these exist in the old Beholder Games. You have just seen some few screenshots from the old Beholder and the engine prototyping
Projecting much?and you have stuck about stollen graphics and your rotten mind. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS ENGINE PROTOTYPING?.
THERE ARE LOTS OF NEW GENUINE, LEGIT, LICENCED GRAPHICS INSIDE.
Only they were animated, or at least their attacks. :hmm:The original "Eye of the Beholder" didn't have cities, didn't have villages, shops, overland map, level editor(Adventure Maker), there are new monster graphics, fully animated graphics, the monsters of Eye of the Beholder 1,2,3 were static monsters.
I haven't stolen a single monster graphic from other games. I have purchased software to create special effect, magic effect, wheather effects, Rain , Fog, Thunder storm, Blizzards, underwater effects, there will be and other NEW WALLSETS for Pyramids, New Dungeons, Castles, Palaces, Towers,Screen area transitions, THE GAME WILL BE HUGE and you are saying what kind of graphics I use or 20 Mb of wallsets.
The game will be larger than 700MB
I HAVE FULL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COPYRIGHTS , LAWS, AND EVERYTHING YOU ARE SAYING I HAVE MADE RESEARCH MANY YEARS AGO. I HAVE GOT IN CONTACT WITH WIZARDS OF THE COAST AND WESTWOOD (PETROGLYPH GAMES) AND I KNOW WHAT I DO.
Then learn to read, my dear cryptoturkroach.his is Fowyr karamalakaros what he asks me now?
I wrote my first program twenty years ago.Listen to what he says bullshit asks if my graphics are .bmp or if the track is great. Not all see the game and knows nothing. Programamtismo knows from nothing
and now he tells me shit laying magic bar laying many wallsets.
He is talking to himself. Troll the cuckold.
Mean shit to a Greek Prosper

Except what people loved about Lands of Lore wasn't the blobber gameplay, it was more about the art, exploration, story etc. It was the AAA game of its time, from the animated cutscenes to the celebrity voice acting.
Totally not an alt.

Nobody think about: "i help him, and get the money later when the game is awesome and sell good" or help him because "iam the fan of the old series".... he work for so long because he is not a team of a programmers... he was alone... and you all tell him he is a thief...because he use placeholders for upcoming better graphics, when we have an drawing artist... and you all tell him he make his work not good... okay MAKE IT BETTER!!!
