level 2 is a bit difficult for me...the best tactic seems to be let the lava stay just below you so you can see whats next...

The best tactic for the stages with fixed view is to stay as low as possible, observing the enemies, and making progress after they move. The regular stages are the same, basically, just without the 'stay low' part. Also, with a little trial and error, you'll understand each enemy's movement patters--it's a piece of cake once you got that down.

You WOULD be banned. There's an unwritten rule around here, and that's to support western developers. Go ahead and try to do that, then, we will see.

Wait wait, that's what it was? Pirate all Eastern dev stuff and hands off Western dev stuff?

Here I thought we mostly just support devs that communicates with us or cool devs that strikes our fancy. Like ILL san for example... But now you're saying whether we pirate someone or not here is whether they are Caucasian or not?

Seriously though, that sounds so fucked up I don't even know where to start. I'm starting to see why so many Japanese dev hates gaijin traffic, and here I thought it was just their culture.

I've hanged around this site for awhile and but I never did get a racist vibe from it, is this for real?

i think the rule is we're courteous and don't share things when we're asked not to... for example the pretty warrior may cry developer came into the forum personally to ask that we not share it...

other include hataharo who at first requested we dont make mirror links because his free game generated ad funds or something...but he just released his game...which managed to get shared...but the person who did share it refused to actually post a link...just hinted where it could be found...
i still need to buy that oe actually...


im sure there were others...

It's not racist.. But the reason isn't so much courtesy so much as quality control/protection..

Eastern developers can and usually do pump out low-grade hentai games at the speed of a processing plant..
(Just look at the hundreds of rpg maker games they spit out a year)

Western developers have a tendency to go very slow and methodically.. And thus tend to make
more unique games, sometimes of high quality, sometimes not, but almost always unique and/or creative.

When you pirate an eastern hentai game, there's no real repercussions,
since they make the games on the cheap and get profit from them from
all of the EASTERN buyers..

When you pirate a western hentai game, you're taking food out of his/her mouth, since the target/available buyers are almost always all-western, and
thus is usually small and scarce.. (Not to mention westerners usually have a very hard time advertising their games to other westerners, though the
easterners can gets hundreds of customers PER GAME)

Hurting profits and discouraging them usually makes them dissapear or stop
making hentai games.. And since western hentai games are much rarer and on occasion MUCH HIGHER QUALITY than most eastern games, this forum full of WESTERN hentai developers will generally urge you to not pirate from them..

To put it to scale, think of eastern developers like big businessmen in charge of the sales of mass-manufactured teddy bears,
and western developers as small-time farmers who make hand-crafted quality teddy bears..

Stealing one is definitely going to have a bigger impact on the maker than the other..

... Hope that clears things up for you.

What's clear to me is that you're far beyond the point where meaningful communication is possible. Everyone is a little racist which is natural, but you are a true specimen that is so extreme you can't even see it, it's so built in to you that it's a natural part of you, it bleeds into your reasoning without you even noticing it... Which is a bit discourage as that brings about the question: Do many who frequent this forum have the same sort of mindset?

I... what... So pirating from Caucasian is taking food out of their mouth, but pirating from Easterners is not?

It doesn't even bother me too much if someone pirates from everything and know what they are doing, but selective pirating based on race is just...

I can't imagine what I would think if I was say a Japanese Dev, who are real actual humans struggling with this difficult path just like any other Caucasian devs.

I really hope the few Eastern Dev who comes to this site (like ILL, newface...etc) don't see this vile stuff. The worst part is that it's not that you hate them or anything, it's that you dismiss them as humans and thus shouldn't be given considerations like a human. A "sub-human" school of racist attitude is some very, very nasty stuff man.

And that's justification for all Eastern made games be pirated, including the many quality and amazing ones they put their life into...

Well contradictions and hypocrisy is the norm with your sort...

Now that left a bad taste in my mouth...

It's never occurred to me til now, is that the general attitude and unspoken rule for this forum? pirate games based on race?
 
Re: Pendulum (NOW ON SALE!)

Hentie, I'm not fucking racist. I'm just saying my point. Ask Tox or Nunu about the unwritten rule.

Yeah, my post may have sounded racist, but that wasn't on purpose like that...

I know what you're saying and some of the thought process and reasoning behind it, but you don't seem to be seeing what it's really saying.

Let's see if I have it right:

-Sharing any Caucasian made games here is a ban-able offense.

-Sharing any non-Caucasian made games here is ok.

You can't NOT see what that is saying.

I'm fully behind supporting the artists we like, but I would never base my support significantly upon goddamn colors and minor variations of AGCT ...

Imagine what your average non-Caucasian developers sees in this kind of policy and view. Even unintended and as well-meaning as you first thought the policy, it's 100% racially inflammatory stuff.

It's actually worst if it's unintended and well meaning, because that would mean it's so deep seeded that it's a built-in part of your nature that you can't even see it.

You don't think the rule has anything to do with race, I get that, but the fact is the criteria of the rule itself has everything to do with race.

I've always written the dislike some of the Japanese devs have shown to foreigners and the length they go to block foreign access to their unique brand of culture, I'm sure that's still some of it, but now I see that's hardly the whole story.

stopped reading.

so people in the east are all off white, and people in the west are all white?
who's the real racist here?
 
Re: Pendulum (NOW ON SALE!)

HEY PEOPLE, STOP ARGUING ABOUT RACE IN A THREAD THAT HAS ONLY ONE POST ABOUT THE ACTUAL GAME SINCE IT WAS RELEASED...

this is the devs first h game here...BE NICE
 
Re: Pendulum (NOW ON SALE!)

take this race argument stuff to tumblr or some shit

the piracy argument is pretty simple here:

If the develober comes in and says:
"please do not provide links to my stuff here, kthanks"
or something in those lines
(like that guy who made the sailor moon RoR some time back)
then don't do it.

Simple as that.
Nothing to do with race or other ethic shits.
 
Re: Pendulum (NOW ON SALE!)

I am not racist. Case closed. Argue somewhere else.

Re: Pendulum (NOW ON SALE!)

But if you don't have a bank account and have to use a MoneyPak card to load money on your Paypal the 3 dollars turn into 25.
Plus, you can randomly be put through the "Trails of Sparta" making the 3-5 day wait for transferring money from your bank account turn into a month.

Hate Paypal...

Hope my PM clears things up for you :).
 
Re: Pendulum (NOW ON SALE!)

sometimes i like pixel art sometimes i dont and this game is between this two oppinions
this game is fun to play(i guess because i rly liked to play icy tower) but with that lava its sometimes rly hard because u HAVE to avoid every single enemy
and if u got caught ur dead and you have to start again and the checkpoints arent working for me because i always starts at the first level of a tower.
after all this game is still well done and its worth to pay for it ;)
