Not really sure what reporting it will do. The seller of the template (DeepBlueApps) allows the purchaser to use all art, sound and gameplay in any way they choose, even releasing unchanged. Templates are great but people who release them unchanged are pathetic. Just check out Slimline games for another example, there are plenty of them out there. The only way to stop the problem is for the sellers of the template to not allow any of the art to be used.
In this case, however, the app description is actually fraudulent. That may be enough to get the game removed from the store.
i can't tell you how much i wanted a real zelda clone/remake. luckily i don't have enough money to even buy this game when i did see it. i've play tons of rpg's on the iphone but i just haven't yet gotten the zelda feel to the games in the one's avilable that i have played. and the one i have to say is the best that i have played is probably heros lore 3
Found the link to the official template at GameSalad. They basically took a free template that GameSalad put together to demonstrate and teach with, and are attempting to sell it as a full game.
Again, it is not a free template, Utopia Games (DeepBlueApps) sells templates and allows the buyer full rights to use as they please. If you go to DeepBlueApps and watch one of their templete videos, they state this very clearly.This is why you see so many exact copies in the store with different names. It will stop when sellers of templetes stop allowing full rights to release as is. If we are waiting on rip off artists to do this on their own, it isn't going to happen.
I can't believe how many people would've otherwise bought and supported this clone. It's like people are purposefully begging for unoriginal lame diluted clones. At least games like Zenonia worked their own art assets and maps.
This is stolen!!!!! it is a template that they bought from deepblueapps. they didnt replace the art or change the name of the template. do not support them. they are worthless! The template is here: http://www.deepblueapps.com/Deep_Blue_Ideas_Ltd./GSTemplateZAN.html
Did you read the thread? Everybody already established that. -- Anyways, I'm disappointed, I was hoping for something semi-decent.
I bought it for sh*ts and giggles. And I went through the same world 5 times, but trees wherein different places each time, lol. Then it said to be continued, after that it crashed
Offtopic: Look, there is a huge and by huge i mean an real huge demand for a Zelda Game on the iOS/Android Plattform. I have talked with a few Investors when i was at the Gamescon and they believe that if Nintendo would create an exlusive iOS/Android Zelda Game it would sale at least 1.000.000 - 1.500.000 Units in it`s first few Months if Nintendo would sale it below 20$. The Question shouldn`t be if there will be a Zelda Game for the iOS/Android Plattform but when i would say...
Do you guys remember when that Mario clone came out a while back? Its title wasn't even freaking in English, and it was able to jump into the top 10 on the paid charts in a few hours before it was finally removed from the AppStore. Doesn't matter what quality people are getting, they want a clone of popular games that they don't have access to on the iOS, especially Nintendo handheld games.
Or not even a clone! Remember Mario TD and Mario Jump? (or Jump Mario?) Those were just copy and pasted graphics OF Mario and other characters in the simplest of games! They sold like hotcakes for the few hours they were on the market. Though I don't know how much of THAT was that people clamored to own a soon to be pulled app.
Not happening in the foreseeable future. Nintendo is a very well established company with a hardware heritage they are supremely proud of. Sure, they are hurting a bit right now against the overnight behemoth that is the iPhone, but they will have to suffer a hell of an economic beating before they swallow their pride and mourn their hardware R&D. The Big N we know today was really built upon the important success of the Game&Watch series. It's deeply embedded in their dna. About unscrupulous devs who steal all but the name of other major IP, it is nothing but theft.
I agree. Nintendo's already stated that they'll never support iOS, even when investors were against them.
Again, to make it clear, this is not the case of an "unscrupulous dev who steal all but the name of other major IP." Whether that's "theft" or not is debatable, but irrelevant here. What "Top Best Adult Entertainment" has done is sold an app that appears to be a game, but is nothing of the sort. They've committed fraud, not theft.
