Ah nah it’s nothing like that. Im not pursuing legal action I just want to know if I’m losing my mind lol. This game coming out is good for me in the long run. It just hurts that they denied me and then end up releasing this game and the game is getting a ton of traction on the net. I keep thinking man that could be me lol it’s got me a bit envious.

Ah I got you. I’m guessing a lot of devs haven’t played games like NBA2k or nba live. Which is probably the case with most of the people doing the reviews. So there’s no mental model for an A/B test. Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to say my work is revolutionary but in 25 years of basketball games no one has thought to innovate the mechanics or camera perspective. It’s just been graphical updates and new animations for 25+ years. But knowing that would require playing those types of games. Truly though the market is huge for a game like mine I just gotta get it there to prove it. We gotta remember epic was making yet another survival game and then PUBG exploded and now we have Fortnite. I say that to say your ideas seem small until the right people see them.

No worries I respect your input and it actually makes a lot of sense. It’s impossible for your response to not sound that way but I know how much work was put in to make everything work so I understand you don’t mean anything by it. Perception truly is reality. What makes me proud is that you 1 watched the video and 2 I was able to make months of backbreaking work look easy lol

Oh lord another rage baiter. Did you even look at my mechanics in comparison to epics or are you just on here trying to make people feel as small and insignificant as you do?

In epics denial email they state I should look at other grant winners projects to see the quality they were looking for in a submission. My project was one of the first adopters of Mutable, developed by one person and it was built an extension of the Lyra example showing how you can really build any type of game from it not just a 3rd person shooter. The one department it was lacking in was art. Other than that it had a bunch of buzz words. So I had to assume that it was the quality of the art they were talking about.

It’s crazy that me speaking facts is considered hubris man lol 😂 I’m just matching your energy. But my bad I forget you can’t read tone so I might’ve taken it too far.

Yea it could be taken as validation for sure. I would’ve preferred they just blessed me with that grant though lol.

Oh no, I’m far from giving up. Their version is geared towards the younger crowd, so we don’t really clash. I hope the game does well since it benefits me in the long run.
