wow - another gem of genius there... perhaps people who actually want to hear a different opinion on the topic?

how about actually commenting on the threads topic rather than just trolling me? i believe what you are doing there is against forum rules in fact.

you must have a pretty shallow mentality to hold such a grudge all this time "scarphy boy"

why dont you go away, grow up, and come back when you've something relevant to say?

i've already commented on what i think of this topic, and dont want it turning into a multi-layered flame-war. Zion has put a lot of hard work into this project, and i know he's somewhat gutted to have to release it in its current state. So how about everyone do something useful, like play the damn game and give the man some constructive feedback?

Great work Zion, im gonna try it soon! Keep it up and dont be discouraged by flamers,etc., although they do have a point that this is a zelda fan-game and the idea is taken strait from someone elses game so its not really fair to stress that you dont want people copying your idea. The game looks great tho and im really exited to play it. GREAT JOB!

As for the 'flamers', thanks for the tips on what not to say when(if ever) i release my zelda tribute(fyi, probably not any time in the next month)...

WOAH, no need to take a swing at DaX here man. I honestly feel really bad that you bricked your psp but dont go blaming people. It's your choice it you want to use his work or not and he does warn of a possibility of of bricking your psp.

nah - i doubt it!! although i have no idea to what level SAT's are meant to be at!

just to clear things up;

Homage - Homage is generally used in modern English to mean any public show of respect to someone to whom one feels indebted. In this sense, a reference within a creative work to someone who greatly influenced the artist would be an homage.

Pastiche - The term denotes a literary technique using a generally light-hearted tongue-in-cheek imitation of another's style; although joking, it is usually respectful (as opposed to parody, which is not).

both of which i think could be said to apply in some sense to Zion's work.

well who's to say if it's a good game, it may be a bad game.

There's really nothing wrong with taking the zelda theme, but then to say don't take my ideas, you could do without that.

That was most certainly not flaming.

Neither I, nor any other currently acting member of staff has ever banned somebody due to simply disagreeing with them. If you were banned, you broke the rules of the forum, repeatedly or severely. Ban evasion, is also a bannable offense, by the way.

How so? I did not insult him, nor his work, I'm sure he has done a great job. I was simply expressing my opinion that he should not have used art that did not belong to him (and that it is legally dubious, hence the use of the term steal).

Good point, thanks for making it more obvious.
