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

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 44 minutes ago

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

[–] Masamune@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

"Looks like & are throwing a party!"

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 11 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 29 points 11 hours ago

I don’t play either of these games.

This post made me happy.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 hours ago

THAT WAS UNEXPECTED

[–] lorty@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Nima@leminal.space 61 points 15 hours 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 25 points 11 hours 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 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

its true. the biggest terraria fans are the devs.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 hours 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 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 2 points 8 hours ago

Red making the best Mario fan game is just a weird factoid.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 54 points 17 hours ago (2 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.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 37 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 14 points 11 hours ago

palworld is more like ark anyway

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Idk I literally went around just catching pals and spent 30 hours doing that, seems pretty pokemon to me.

[–] Valencia@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

What were you doing for the majority of those 30 hours? Most likely resource gathering, building your base, optimizing pal usage, etc... Basically the only similarity is that you throw spheres at creatures. There's no gyms, no turn based gameplay, no trading, no evolution, and not even really trainer battles, just some unique encounters.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

You: "bet you had to optimize and synergize and energize..."

Me: "haha, crossbow and pal sphere go brrr."

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 1 points 4 hours ago

The day Pokémon adds crossbows it might be fun again

[–] Valencia@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

As long as you can see it's not pokemon lol

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 37 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Restaldt@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

Idk man there is a reason silver is always second

Emerald was the best pokemon game of all time

Just one more update bro

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 27 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 58 points 18 hours 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 14 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

The request includes a term to shutdown Palworld IIRC

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 25 points 17 hours 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 36 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Trying do ban riding fictional animals is a tall order

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

I looked through a few articles but couldn't find anything about a term that would shutdown Palworld just because Nintendo won the lawsuit.

The worst case scenario would be something like Palworld having to change their "Pal Spheres" into "Pal Cubes" or prisms, or something similar.

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

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

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