Early Access: Day of Dragons’ Latest Store-Bought Asset Looks Terrible
Couldn’t look more out of place it if was cel-shaded. Continue reading “Early Access: Day of Dragons’ Latest Store-Bought Asset Looks Terrible”
Early Access Title Day of Dragons Already Teasing Paid DLC
Day of Dragons is in Early Access and barely qualifies as a game, but that hasn’t stopped developer Beawesome Games from teasing additional income generators in the form of paid DLC dragons.
Beawesome Games is taking some flak from their community regarding recent teasers for the “Blitz Striker Amphithere,” a paid DLC dragon set to release in Q3/Q4 2020 for the low low cost of $5.99. Despite raising over half a million dollars and being on the top selling list in December on Steam, Day of Dragons currently stands with three dragons all of which are placeholders in the form of bought premade assets from the Unreal store.
Some of the angry sentiment comes from Kickstarter backers who are upset that Beawesome is advertising paid DLC dragons when the dragons that people had already paid money for as part of the game’s Kickstarter campaign are nowhere in sight. Additionally, others are taking umbrage with Beawesome teasing paid DLC dragons when they have yet to finish a single dragon that was not bought from the Unreal engine store. Beawesome has claimed that there are over a dozen dragons in development or scheduled for development. There are seven Kickstarter-exclusive dragons.
All of that of course is meaningless since if you look at the latest developer list on the Day of Dragons Discord, you’ll see that they do not have a character rigger/animator or a visual FX artist on staff. For now backers will have to make do with what they were given. A glorified tech demo. One run by a man of dubious ethics.
Dirty Dev Beawesome Games Abusing Copyright To Silence Critics
(Update: The Tweet originally sourced in this article was removed by Twitter. We have inserted SidAlpha’s video response as a replacement.)
Today’s story covers Jonathan Slabaugh, aka Jao, head of Beawesome Games and developer of the bestselling mediocre asset flip also known as Day of Dragons. We’ve spoken briefly about Day of Dragons in the past, from the company’s unethical behavior in hardcoding bans of Youtube critics causing their games to crash upon startup. Conversation surrounding Day of Dragons has prompted an almost fanatical response from some of Beawesome’s community base with critics being harassed off of social media and one Youtuber receiving death threats for no longer supporting the game.
But it looks like Jonathan has finally struck a fatal cord in his attempt to silence critics, as Youtuber SidAlpha posted to Twitter that he will be contacting an attorney in response to a failed attempt to copyright strike a video by Beawesome Games. The Tweet contains a snapshot of an email from Youtube confirming that a video posted by Sid had received a copyright infringement notice, but that Youtube would not be taking any action under the belief that the video content constitutes fair use. The copyright notice attempts to claim that a video showing the software interface constitutes copyright infringement.
MMO Fallout has had our own encounters with the sycophantic subset of Day of Dragons fans.
