[Release] Legend Of Zelda - Quest Of Link

[tsurumaru]

Why is it that an many new release threads there seems to be so much tension and flaming?

I can see the point that people are making about Zion's phrasing of the use of IP but similarly he did state that the game was a WIP. Perhaps his plan was that they could eventually be replaced and are currently only place holder? Who knows, but Zion himself.

Please, everyone just take a chill pill.....

No you cant walk out of the door

i was working on that next but then the brickage happpened

Ah okay...thanks for saying. I just hope you can get another PSP soon and continue this good looking game!

[Hungry Horace]

I would rather take the side of Zion. Instead of a ****ing noob like you.

Insults from a teen with no life and friends on an internet forum, so insulting... Fuck off

play nicely children.

we've already had one banning off the back of this thread.

lets not make it 3.


Quzar - i certainly see your point, but i also see Zion's... (i dont genuinely believe he was asking ppl not to rip-off the elemets of his game that is a take from Zelda! - rather those parts he has bought into the mix)


the whole IP thing is definately a messy grey area, and perhaps what was said wasnt always done with the best of phrasing, but i think there needs to be no beef here regarding the matter.

lets all move on and enjoy this bit of homebrew, and hope it doesnt go without development too long.

Ok let me elborate on this whole steal the art thing

Now quzar said
"It's sad that you choose to show homage by stealing intellectual property."

yes very good choice of words, but infact they are pretty off

To start there are many, many games being released. Some people, who are what we call "fans" decide they want to make a type of clone of the game. Now the person does take art work from the original game to make the game. So far so good. the person is, obviously not using it for any commercial benfit rather its enjoyment. Now Nintendo does copyright there things, but how come there are so many flash games and other types of games that may be familiar to the original. Well if i could explain this in the ending credits of any nintendo game it says " the game, music and something else, i need find out what it says is copyrighted by nintendo" now if we go into this copyright, it only applies to if the person uses the actual game for commercial benefit S-O what zion has done here was make a clone of zelda, true he used the art work
but, nevertheless he did code it all. Now what he did was use art, am i correct?YES
He did use the concept of the game am i correct? YES, BUT is he selling to us? NO

AND DID HE START THE CODING OF THE GAME HIMSELF? Y-E-S

There is no commercial game being made here, some ripped graphics of a game, which are copyrighted only against commercial use, So everbody lets use our common sense please, give the credit for the coding of this game, whereas u dont need to say "great artwork zion"

This is zions game, just not his graphics

So in the end my freind quzar, what you said was very futile, i must describe it as stupid

and if you are trying to provide insight on a game, saying its artwork is ripped is very obvious and its not like anyone can think for themselves

And if im not blind zion gave CREDITS for the SPRITES

[Zion]

sigh, i cant ever seem to release anything without it turning into a flamewar

im getting really sick of it.

i think only about 5 comments out of the 65 were from people who tested the game and left feedback

Copyrighted means that the work is copyrighted for ALL usage (commercial or not) unless otherwise specified which it isn't at "the end of games". However, you might be able to argue for "Fair usage" as described here:

That is besides the point since the original point was for Intellectual Property was infringed, NOT Copyright.

Zion: Honestly, there isn't much to test. You can work around, there is some animation and you can interact with characters. There isn't any gameplay to give feedback on. I can't even comment on the code since you compiled it (yes I know I can decompile it but I really don't have the time to translate several thousand of lines of Lua instructions to Lua code).
