Console Wars

Yeah, that’s it. Looking to play CogDis next, though.

And what is that fangame (I presume)?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

It is short for Cognitive Dissonance, and is set between M1 and M2.

If you don’t mind, would you please post the possible tech tree. I am assuming everyone in this FG will use it.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

The tree is in the 1st post.

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I meant posting it here in the forum. The issue is that I can’t access it.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Right, JaDT could’ve posted it as an ordinary image…

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

The problem is that it would be VERY compressed. Also the forum space…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Hm. Maybe you could link it from mediafire then?
Nevermind, it’s already on mediafire. Maybe you’ll just tell AA their current research options?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Yeah, telling them the current options certainly works.

Edit: I will note that companies other than you will release games, so there are AI game companies and AI console companies.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

How many of them are around now?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

None. But expect to start seeing them in the third generation of consoles.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Will there be lawsuits and stuff?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

All they really do is make games for consoles, but if you rip off their characters… Yeah, not in for a fun time.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

How will such lawsuits work?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Basically, the more of a ripoff your character is, the bigger a lawsuit price. I will roll a dice that determines how well you did. If the character is a slight but noticable ripoff, 4,5, and 6 means you win it. If it’s an intermediate level ripoff, 5 and 6 means you win. If it’s basically just a stolen asset, only 6 will let you win. So do not ripoff their characters.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Can other companies sue yours even if you didn’t rip something off?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Can AI companies rip off characters from another companies game, too?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

That might make the whole round-making process a lot more time-taking for JaDT…

No, copyright infringement is really it.
