Unfortunately, this is no "inspiration". If you looked at comparison shots, they are direct rips from the respective games.
So it's not a question about texture or sound but of pressing a print screen and pasting it into photoshop. So while we all agree that many games inspire from each other, in this case it's a direct screen grab from tons of existing games including Oblivion, Bloodlines, Silent Hill 4, Fable etc.

I understand people's concerns regarding how this may affect other independent developers, but I can assure you that as far as my company is concerned I'm not worried at all. If your conscience is clear, it's very easy to prove that all the work included in your game is yours: I have all the necessary paperwork and in fact I spent quite a lot of money to insure that everything is not only proved to be mine, but also copyrighted. I can't imagine why a publisher would not want to do business with me.

How in the name of ______ did they think they could get away with this? Their names are in the media, pictures were taken, they were published in NA and Europe.
I mean, sure, they made this game, got it published, got some money for it (that will soon be sued off of them wholesale) but the only way this could've gone unnoticed is if we're still getting games on floppy disks and the internet doesn't exist.
I just can't understand the mentality of the person who thinks that he can slap his name as "game designer" and use major commercial game screenshots.

Darleen, that's what all this is about. It goes far beyond Oblivion.

After all the abuse that Inferno got & the subsequent posts by other members of the team defending S Bovis & themselves I just can't see them as anything but a bunch of p********s. Here are the 'young & hotheaded' culprits: (I hope it's okay to post this link from JA) http://www.kentmessenger.co.uk/paper/default.asp?article_id=9644&slide_id=1& amp;newspage=2&searchkeyword=&searchpage=1 It seems now that their 'fate & destiny' is that their arrogance will cost them a lot more financially than they've made from the game as it looks like they are going to be sued bigtime.

How in the name of ______ did they think they could get away with this? Their names are in the media, pictures were taken, they were published in NA and Europe. It depends, if the intent was to steal from other games to profit by it, I suspect they knew it would blow up at some point. If that is / was their thinking, it is likely they took their initial payday and are long gone. On the other hand if they were so foolish to believe nobody would notice well they deserve the flak. Based upon the reviews, reception and overall end product of the game the former is more likely. If so they have new names, a new location and perhaps even another game under production. Time will tell.

And to the developers of limbo, shame on you. Stealing others work is a crime and i hope they get whats coming to them. Theives.. -- Hmm when was limbo released, it wasnt released on april 1st was it by chance?

Chrissie -- thinking that a now-famous game whose publisher is pulling all copies at the moment of publication would (possibly) increase in value -- is that wicked? Sssshh! Attention! BAAGers find your plastic! On your marks, get set...

Well, although I consider myself a collector of adventure game and enjoy buying 'rarities'; I am glad I did not spend any of my money on these frauds. It may become quite valuable one day, but it'll be a lacking in my collection that I will not regret one bit.
