Very rip offy! It basically had the same story, same skill, same action lines, same noises! There WERE some diffrences, but it's still THE SAME THING!!!!!!

I'm not even going to download the stupid thing. At least Escape from Paradise added some creativity. And EfP was funny because they ripped off from EVERY major type of casual game out there (Match 3, WordSearch, Dash games, etc).

I just have seen some pics of that game and I really do not like the graphics!! The strokes are rough and without fine details, without matter (the beach looks like colored plastic!!) And I don't want to speak of the grass and the leaves!! The villagers' faces are just "la tête à Toto" (0+0 = the Toto's face)
all the same without any expression!

Really! That works has got nothing to do with yours, Arthur, Carla, Barbara and all your team!
I love my LDW's villagers!! Especially those who dance every time to show that they like playing!!

Here's my take on My Tribe and Arthur, Barbara and Carla know that I love them and their products very much.

Yes, it is a cheap knock-off of our beloved VV series with some differences. Have I played it, yes; have I bought it; yes. Heck, I buy lots of games from BF.

Had there been a post from Arthur before this, I wouldn't have purchased the game. I knew some of the wording and voice sounded oh so familiar but I didn't realize to the extent of the voice overs and using the same studio/actors.

Now I feel bad, feeling sad like I hurt a dear friend.

I agree.
People should create their own ideas because it's like they're taking credit that they didn't work hard for!

Yet,I wasn't panning on trying My Tribe.

The VV games seem better,from what most people say.

My take on this is...

If something is good, people will copy it. If an idea is a money spinner, people will jump on the band wagon and cash in. i.e. if a 'villager' or 'tribe' based game is what is in fashion lately, every game manufacturer will exploit it to make money.

SO don't be so surprised that this game has come about, and don't be so eager to point out it's flaws.

Obviously if one manufacturer made a game based on this theme first, then any other manufacturer is copying the idea.

My point is - how come ldw didn't copyright/patent/whatever is the right term the game/idea to stop others using it? Obviously this is not fool proof as sometimes copies fall through the net no matter how many precautions are taken. But if the idea and concept etc. is so precious, why not copyright or whatever it?

I'm just saying that the argument is mute. I have already tried to discuss this but it definitely fell on deaf ears in this discussion http://www.ldwforums.com/ubbthreads/ubbt...y_be#Post167332) - because this is a BIASED forum.

YES ldw came up with the idea of a 'Villager' type concept for a game (I believe!), but apparently Anyone can make a game like that.

So I say play the one you prefer and leave it at that.

Well that just makes me mad that they took all LDW's ideas ..... I am not even going to try my tribe VirtualVillagers Is the best!!!!



Long live Virtual Villagers





P.S. Thank you LDW for making such great games that we can count on !!!!

You say that like is is a dirty word.........
Of course this is a biased forum !!
If people don't like it thats fine, there are other forums.
I would like to thank LDW for all of their hard work over
the years and making the games "WE" love !!

If this forum was biased, all threads about any games non-LDW would be deleted.

The folks here at LDW have given lots of freedoms here on the boards unlike other gamemakers.

I agree QuickStorm. I can remember when the LDW Forums even had a corner where they suggested other games that might interest us.

I didn't even know about My Tribe until this topic appeared, so I downloaded the game to see what it was all about. I didn't like it so I deleted it. It somehow didn't have the feel of any of the VV games.

There is only one other non-LDW game that really holds my interest, and that was suggested here on the LDW forums.

So NO, this is not a biased forum
