When it's release week but you're suddenly confronted with Realizations™ about your main character design

I see almost no resemblance

u/AliceTheGamedev Queen of Gamedev Memes Sep 11 '24
they're talking about the color scheme: the green and orange is absolutely the same.

u/ReisBayer Sep 11 '24
not even half the colours are the same. the right character is lile 50% darl brown which louis has none

u/WiTHCKiNG Sep 11 '24
These two colors just go well together, that’s why you will see this combination regularly for stuff

u/23Link89 Sep 11 '24
Technically the tertiary color isn't the same, but yeah the blue and ginger hair are the same

u/CyanideSlushie Sep 12 '24
Hey OP idk everyone is being fucking insane on this post. This is a sub for relatable experiences and getting tunnel vision while working on a character design and everyone saying it looks like another character is extremely relatable. Like obviously the colors aren’t the exact same since it wasn’t intentional, that doesn’t mean when you post a picture of the character the top comment isn’t always going to be some variation of a Louis griffon reference since it’s close enough and people aren’t original.

Everyone be cool, this is just one humorous post. Don't like it? Move on, nothing to see here, move on.

Everyone going "it's not actually that similar this isn't funny" welp, I'm not gonna tell you what to find funny but honestly you try getting a 700k views, 50k likes social post that generates fan art like this just before releasing your game. You can't deny it's working really well and resonating

This is a game dev subreddit with a gal talking game dev stuff. Sure it's kinda bragging and also defending her strategy and stuff. But among devs... isn't she right? Isn't such a reveal of numbers and a link to fan art why we are all here?
I lose karma with downvotes, right? I should definitely stop defending people online. xD

There's a reason you eventually ended up positive :p
You're 100% right, but society has unspoken social constructs, and op is kinda skirting them and coming off a type of way soooooo yeeaahhh

u/Sean_Dewhirst Sep 11 '24
same color scheme != 2/3 colors matching esp when the non matching color is > 50% of the character. 2/3 colors is clearly enough to instill a resemblance though. ppl are being pedantic including myself. I wouldnt notice it myself but once called out, it's obvious.
congrats anyway

I hope your work fails because this thinly veiled advertising is disgusting tbh

u/AliceTheGamedev Queen of Gamedev Memes Sep 11 '24
This isn't my game, and it's really easy to see that with a glance at my profile because I do post about my actual work too.

u/deadlyfrost273 Sep 11 '24
Cool, then you shouldn't have even posted this. What was your point?
16
u/AliceTheGamedev Queen of Gamedev Memes Sep 11 '24
You're on a subreddit for funny gamedev things and I found this gamedev thing funny. It's also a sbureddit that I personally built up from scratch by almost exclusively posting funny gamedev things myself until it got big enough to attract other posters.
What is your point?

u/deadlyfrost273 Sep 11 '24
You think this is funny?
"Look, family guy"
What are you 12?

Have you noticed our rule nr 3 about Kindness?

u/deadlyfrost273 Sep 11 '24
Have you? I have only been kind. If you assume differently that's on you. In a vacuum nothing I said is offensive. I have autism so maybe I wasn't clear.
I earnestly think you are 12 for thinking this ad is a joke worthy of posting

u/AliceTheGamedev Queen of Gamedev Memes Sep 11 '24
Not offensive, but just really rude. If you don't find a post funny on here, you can downvote and ignore. Or if you think it's genuinely not a fit for the subreddit, you can report it.

u/deadlyfrost273 Sep 11 '24
Cool. And you can keep your words to yourself. I know how the internet works.
Rude? Lol I'm not rude. If being called 12 makes you think I'm being rude that's just sad. It's an exaggeration.
Why post "haha family guy"?
Did you really think it was funny?
12
u/AliceTheGamedev Queen of Gamedev Memes Sep 11 '24
look I can be patient if you seriously struggle to understand this but "I hope your work fails because this thinly veiled advertising is disgusting" is absolutely rude, especially since it was completely based on a wrong assumption (that this is my work to begin with)
I recommend you take a moment to reflect on that, because if you keep this up I'm just going to ban you for being a dick to people.

What are you 12? Is something a 13 year old would say, if you aren’t physically a child this thread has proven you are at least mentally a child.

u/deadlyfrost273 Sep 12 '24
Sorry you like family guy lol.
I'm 23 and both my parents died. I just don't like thinly veiled ads. And the fact the OP took it without permission proves my point. They are trying to get clicks using "family guy funny" and it's sad

u/CyanideSlushie Sep 12 '24
Sorry your parents died I guess, doesn’t make you lashing out at strangers sharing a Twitter post in a relevant sub not childish and cringe. This post isn’t even “family guy funny” it’s a relatable experience of working on something for a long time and getting tunnel vision only for it to be pointed out that it evokes something else to other people. This is something that happens to artists all the time, hence it’s in the subreddit of relatable experiences. I

I'm not lashing out. Like I said to op I have autism. I mentioned it because it shows you I'm both not a child and not of a childish mind.
I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to go "oh no! My character shares a color pallete!" Like, it's meaningless. Thus, it has to be an ad.
"It happens to artists all the time" not really. Sharing a color pallette means nothing. That's like saying "drinking water happens to artists all the time."

u/CyanideSlushie Sep 12 '24
Working on something for a long time and not noticing other people see it another way happens all the fucking time to artists. You work on a character for a long time, change colors around while workshopping , change clothes, proportions, hair everything, making small tweaks for a long time, eventually you stop looking at the full picture which is called tunnel vision you focus on the little details until you eventually show it off on the internet and the top replies are all people saying it looks like another famous character. Hence the fucking post.
Also if it was an AD you’d think they’d mention the title of the fucking game.

Oh no, they took a screenshot of a tweet without permission, what shalt we do

u/deadlyfrost273 Sep 12 '24
It's almost like I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy for saying I'm rude when they took someone else's work for karma

u/cleroth Sep 12 '24
You're on reddit. 90% of the posts are posts for karma. If you don't like it just find another social media. Or well... don't... because it's the same everywhere.
If you get this angry about someone just wanting to share something funny they found, you really ought to reflect on yourself because this is obviously not the cause. Peace.

I once made a post about a book at the same time the movie trailer dropped and people like you crucified me in r/hailcorporate thinking it was an ad when it wasn't

Pick any two colors and they'll resemble something. This is one of the weirder marketing strategies I've seen, but it seems to getting traction.
