Yet another too similar game to Starbound....

^ This. So much.

I'm getting tired of people saying CLONE! or RIPOFF! on everything.
Especially if it has nothing to do with the "original" in question.

 

There is theoretically more ideas than there are atoms in the universe. The thing is that our brains are wired to only see a certain spectrum of that, making most ideas similar to one another. It's possible to go beyond that, but it's really tough to think of them.
That's what I theorize why, despite having so many combinations, we can only think of a certain number of them.

 

I understand that, you do have a valid point.
It's just, every major company is so lawsuit trigger happy.

It's getting to the point where people are like "HEY! YOUR GAME HAS PIXELS YOU'RE COPYING US YOUR GAME USES C++ SO DOES OURS YOU ARE COPYING US @(*@^y*(^@!*^&)!@(^!@*($ WE ARE SUING YOU!!!"

Seriously.....
You can get your butt shoved in court for the most RIDICULOUS things....

 

Well, monopolies aren't exclusive to our generation. It's unfortunately nature itself to be selfish and greedy too.

 

I have been told in several psych classes that the need to be selfish and greedy is something that is genetically hardwired into our brains as a survival technique. Who ever gets the most food, stays alive to pass on their genes.

 

That game is rip off of FTL more than anything.

 

...And what is FTL if I may ask?
I'm really terrible with acronyms.
I'm a person who will most of the time use full sentences.

 

Faster Than Light
I think...

 

Just looked that game up,
It looks amazing.

 

It kind of looks like FTL:Tactics. (not a criticism)

 

The only game I know of that's actually similar to Starbound is Edge of Space, but even that looks pretty different, especially now after looking at it again. Starbound still looks a million times cooler.

 

Soup, everytime you post I feel the urge to go get some soup.

I don't even like soup...

 

My plan is working perfectly...

 

If I'm not mistaken, (which I might be) Star Command was announced in July of 2011, where as Starbound was announced in February of 2012... By this logic, one should assume that even if there WAS an issue of one copying the other, it would be the reverse of what was concerning the originator of this thread...

...also, i think star command is copying toystory more than anything else...

"Buzz Lightyear to Star Command. Come in, Star Command."

 

Rather devious of you sir...

 

And this is why research needs to be done first before judging a game.

 

NOT ON THE INTERNET! NOT WHEN MY CRUSADE HAS BARELY BEGUN!

 

When I clicked the link and started laughing because the only similarity I can think of is that the game takes place in space.
I've been following the development of Star Command for a good while. The game is highly anticipated and has a huge following. As stated before I remember seeing posts about this game back in 2011.

Check out this video if you want to know more;
Another huge plus is that is developed for iPad as well.

 

Man, why do people get so territorial over games... this is only vaguely like Starbound, this seems more like it would fall under likeness to XCOM territory.

It's like XCOM: Taking the Fight to Them. "Tired of responding to threats on Earth and playing protector? Why not take to space with a reverse engineered ship and bring the fight to the aliens for once!"
