Re: crazy party beta 74 is underway
lol Nidza, deflecting as always.
Crazy Party stole hundreds of assets from popular games, and used them to great effect. You don't really have to be your own game if you borrow from Mario and Pokémon this heavily. I've said it before. If any other game did this - and yes, I've seen evidence of this - it would be roasted for being unoriginal or even a clone. But a magical exception has been made for CP because it hits players in the feels. Or something. If I made an RPG and borrowed hundreds of Final Fantasy or other JRPG sound effects and music, but made an original JRPG, I would be absolutely destroyed for using copyrighted assets, and rightfully so.
Sure, a ton of code has gone into CP, and I'm not denying its popularity. But you likewise can't deny that it's basically the mother of all clones, floating on hundreds of pirated assets.
Why did I bring it up here? Because believe it or not, it's relevant. I've watched CP's progress over the years, and a bunch of beta releases introduced bugs that had to be very quickly fixed. Zarvox isn't wrong when he says that sometimes the testing protocols for this game aren't very good. Stuff that probably should've been caught before going live makes it to a live release, fucks up people's games, and then gets fixed in the next beta. It's why there have been as many beta releases as there have been. But people are just happy that beta version x+whatever is now live, because it means more games, more updates. I just feel that the standards of expectation for this game are, by and large, considerably lower than for other games. You'd expect other games to have their own assets, but for CP it's okay. You'd expect other games to fix their bugs if they're so easy to replicate, but for CP it's okay. Well, for me, not so much.
