Terraria seems so relaxed. They just kind of seem to be coexisting with everyone which i love.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Catching pokemon in Terraria?

Count me in.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 day ago

I don’t play either of these games.

This post made me happy.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 78 points 1 day ago (2 children)

i love how terraria is the 7th best selling game ever and they are just chill with everyone.

i adore the dedication to fun. they just keep rollin.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My understanding is they keep adding features even though they're supposed to be done because they still play the game constantly themselves and end up wanting more content.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

its true. the biggest terraria fans are the devs.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

If you do what you love, you'll be constantly working the rest of your life.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

I know this is probably isn't true but it's my head cannon that they're just really afraid to put out a "state of the game [month]" posts without anything in it

[–] colderr@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Re-Logic is just chill overall. Barely any drama and they respect their players. Which I love!

"Looks like & are throwing a party!"

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's awesome, I thought they got murdered by Nintendo.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Nintendo are suing them, but Nintendo sue everyone.

The Japanese copyright courts are stupid, it doesn't matter how clearly something isn't a case, it still goes to trial if one of the parties is big and important enough. They don't seem to have proper separation of law and government. So political bigwigs can get involved.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I don't care how much of a pirate cheapo game this is, watching Nintendo go ape over practically a knockoff someone could have made as a joke is amusing, especially with their playerbase success.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 15 hours ago

You cannot copyright a vague idea. No matter how much Nintendo might want to.

The game is basically just magic animals in the world that you can capture and do things with. It's literally every JRPG ever. It's just mounts with extra features.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 day ago (7 children)

It only has a surface level similarity to pokemon. It's as much like fallout 4 as it is pokemon.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 day ago

palworld is more like ark anyway

It's pretty fun, more fun than modern Pokemon, but I'm just a trash gentwo'er.

Summoner class going to eat good. Guess I'll do another playthrough of terraria.

THAT WAS UNEXPECTED

Just one more update bro

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Aren't they being sued by Nintendo rn? That's some balls from both sides lol.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 61 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That lawsuit might take years, and the requested damages from Nintendo are only $66,000. Palworld isn't going to be shut down anytime soon, even if they lose the case.

[–] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The request includes a term to shutdown Palworld IIRC

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There was a request to halt sales until the specific mechanics were removed, with the mechanics being throwing pokeball like items and riding monsters.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Trying do ban riding fictional animals is a tall order

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ackshually 🤓

One of the patents was for seamlessly transitioning from one type of ride to another, as it happens in Legends Arceus, ie: jumping into the water while riding the stag will automatically change to the giant piranha. The irony here is that palworld lacks anything like that, you never transition between 2 different mounts without player input. The closest to that is using some pals as gliders, but you'll just get back on your feet once you touch the ground or water.

Another patent was for throwing stuff at enemies in order to begin combat. They're all hard reads, mostly because they read like they're describing how Legends Arceus works in minute detail.

Are Nintendo suing reality now? I must admit, it would be very on brand for them.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck it, have Nintendo sue blizzard whole they're at it. I want to see a nerd bloodbath.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 15 hours ago

Blizzard of course can't sue anyone because that would require an original idea to copyright.

The suit is effectively not about the money at all. It’s about setting a precedent in Japanese court to basically allow Nintendo to patent whatever they want, whenever they want, so they can go after and shut down competitors with ease. Pirate Software has a decent and short breakdown on their youtube channel iirc

[–] cyberic@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 day ago

The patents were filed after the features were already in their other game, Craftopia.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Does that mean they should stop functioning because Nintendo is suing them?

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 20 hours ago

Does that mean the next terraria update will have 2 crossovers?

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

2024 is not finished for anybody on earth, pal.
