KF Yeah! More copyright infringement!

[rol']

I don't see why all these people keep trying to steal KF zeds for terrible indie games and apps. 7 Days to Die clearly is using a retextured clot model and it wouldn't surprise me if there were more stolen assets.

Here's the kickstarter page:

Stuck out to me like a severed thumb. I know my zeds any day, from a mile away.

Not really, but whatever. Marketers pls go.

 

[SMIFF]

even if it is a stolen clot the image says pre alpha in the top right corner, probably just a placeholder

First thing that caught my attention when I saw the footage last week. The animations look very similar. I backed this on Kickstarter so hoping they're not ripping other game assets.

 

[Yoshiro]

We are aware of the potential use of our material in the game and the appropriate steps have been taken.

 

[mrsirr]

XD the first thing that I noticed was that guy's flashlight. It's like on of the tiny ones you get from the dentist

 

[Alex_KF]

Aw hell naw. I even kickstarted them too

 

[Alex_KF]

Yeah, looks like a blatant case of ripped content. They even stole the attack animation. :/

Spoiler!

 

[Slappy Cromwell]

It is much more likely that the developers got the model from one of those unscrupulous free model sites that did not provide proper attribution. Since the Clot has its proper animations, whoever originally posted it probably converted the model from the available Source Filmmaker source files as porting it from the Unreal engine packages would have been a total pain.

Only on the lower difficulties, friend.

They also stole sounds from DayZ/Infestion (WarZ) lol.

Even though this is a no brainer, they also stole the block building idea from Minecraft/whatever game it was inspired by. Not sure who did it first to be honest.

But one thing they did outright steal from Minecraft 100% is the crafting interface. Hell, the trailer voice sounds like utter crap.

Ideas can't be stolen, only the means of execution.

This is confusing. As "Dayz/WarZ" it appears they both share the same sounds, which means they probably came from a library. Did you mean "DayZ and WarZ", which would imply 2 separate sources?

I hope this game doesn't get buried litigation. Its a great mix on genres and looks to have emergent game play. If it has a little KF in it all the more reason to love it. They need to give tripwire their due if KF assets are in the final build.

To be honest, they sound almost indentical but I am not sure if they are the same, which is why I put /, as a just incase they are the same. I can't tell if they maybe had contact with each other for sharing or they bought/used from a library. It is something I may actually look into, specially with the hate people give WarZ yet it's the one I prefer lol.

DayZ is a mod, so there team whould either find sounds or make new ones.
The WarZ (Now called Infestation: Survivor Stories) is a game created by a russian guy who already got in trouble for the game. He could have stolen sounds created for DayZ and whould seem...err...okay in his standers.

Only on the lower difficulties, friend.

MMORPGs dont have difficulties


What also catches my eye is the shotgun's animation and their Fat Zombie reminds me of another "zombie"

So if I tell a friend an idea that I would use in my new game and he uses it in his own before I use it in mine (and I wouldn't approve), that's not stealing?

Not in the eyes of the law. Just in the eyes of people

The block building idea that Minecraft stole from Lego, right?

Seeing as, from your logic, Lego has building blocks, and it came out centuries before Minecraft was even though of.
