Sprybug Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I just recently started checking out N.age, even their members are bummed/pissed about this. And yeah, their ripping up deemar over there too. As far as not knowing what the game was.....what the hell dude, how far are you under that rock you live?? Really? I can't find any posts on it. Link? Would love to read up and offer my 2 cents if I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I did a YouTube video about the game and it got a "matched third-party content" thing. Of course, so did my Yoshi's Island for the SNES video... Have you tried having your name or a logo in a corner of the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, so did my Yoshi's Island for the SNES video... I wonder if there's a big crack down going on under the shadows lately. My "My Little Ghostie" Episode 2 (and not 1 for some reason) animated video on youtube got blocked today by a copyright claim, when my video is clearly a parody/remix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 No. It's that picky? There have been pages on the Internet for years talking about watermarking videos and slightly changing the pitch of the sound so YouTube will leave you alone.

Sprybug Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 He won't be able to answer, as I banned him from this thread. ..Al That's okay, I just gave him my 2 cents on NA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprybug Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 There have been pages on the Internet for years talking about watermarking videos and slightly changing the pitch of the sound so YouTube will leave you alone. I should begin doing that. I see other videos that do that, now I know why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks! That's my topic trying to raise awareness. Though obviously not everyone got it. Sent you a PM by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 that sucks that nintendo did that, I would tell them to look under copyright laws under parody and the fair use rule. wonder if sega will go after your soinc clone when its done glad I got the rom princess rescue on my harmony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I tried using a sega genesis controller with PR.The second button feature didn't work. I still had to move up to fire. I think its the latest rom on my harmony running on my 7800.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would say that the use of the Mario sprite and the music were the biggest no-no's. Frankly, if given the choice, I'd rather have the ROM that looked/sounded like Mario than something that didn't and was sold on a cart.

jetset Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 More greedy corporate bs. Same reason Activision roms are not available here. It's understandable these companies trying to protect their copyright, but giving crap to a handfull of hobbyists will have no effect on their new game for their new system, or their "greatst hits" app. Unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as I said before I started this project just to make a SMB game for the Atari 2600 that I wasn't intend on selling, but then the chips landed where they fell and things ended up where they did. Zippy on the other hand is kind of in the same vain but I knew from the start that this was going to end up being a game available for purchase since PR did so well. I'll be sure to have a talk with Al about how we should handle this game before it's finished and is available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggested name to further obscure the source game: Cease the Hatehog Could work. Sega don't what Nintendoes apparently. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just continue as you've been doing and release Zippy as planned when you're done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Gibberish. Well, better to be a greedy capitalist than a commie any day!

PFL Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I just wanted to share my sympathy with you Sprybug. This is a needlessly soiled end to what was a great and inspired project. I understand that these big companies must chase infringement at all times so that a legal precedent of turning a blind eye isn't set but it's still really, really shitty. This is why I have given up on modern gaming in general. I'm tired of the bland, beige and conservative corporate stuff. I actually want to play games that are made by people having fun with the creative process. I don't know, it just causes me to enjoy the game more... call me crazy. I'm sorry Spry. I wish we lived in a more trusting world. *Melodrama ends...* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nognir Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I can tell you that SEGA is more crazy about this. I had to remove several videos from my YouTube Channel, because of the copyright infringement stuff. So changing the game at an early stage like this would be a better choice IMO.

At a guess, I'd say it's more likely it was YouTube that removed your videos and not Sega asking for them to be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use similar graphics and called it Honic the Sedgehog, they wouldn't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
