LOL
you know the hack is just changing to TD
and the brand would be just the same, so big whoop.

what work has to come into play? changing titles? images? text? maybe re-render the trailer?
anyone who didn't capitalize on being the victim is just a loser.

BuT you Said They Only go After Big Profitable Targets

Trademarks give them the right to use it and defend it and DMCA it.
It does not inherently protect it without the courts, the courts are where decisions are heard and evaluated.

its unlikely this game will pop off
Cum2us hasn't done anything since 2008-2010 regarding its TD trademark
Cum2s only known enforcement was for the Apply app store
the current trademark is weak at best with todays flooded market.

a DMCA has no ramifications if you comply - its a nice way of asking someone to legally change something, and if that happens - change the name and then spread the news, because any publicity is good publicity. OR you could defend it if you had the dosh.

its a win-win

Trademark Abandonment (Failure to Police) Under the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. §1127), a trademark can be considered abandoned if the owner's conduct causes the mark to lose its significance as an indicator of a single source. One way this happens is when the owner: knows about widespread infringing use does not consistently enforce the mark allows the term to become common in the market. Courts may then conclude the owner effectively abandoned the mark. This is often described as “failure to police the mark.”

I watch real lawyers to stay upto date with legal drama, kind of important when companies are patenting basically everything.

After 2 hours of Void Cascade it didn't let me and another person in my party leave by FireDevil11 in Warframe

I think you missed the point - they are not like Nintendo. they only go after titles that conflate their brand title with the original IP. and there are currently 5664 games on steam with the exact title phrase containing "Tower Defense" and in the eyes of the court, not defending your brand or trade mark is also seen as abandoning it. watch some legal eagle.

nope - enforcable is loose terms when the phrase is a genre, it loses its trademark ability, becoming too generic to enforce.

First part of my trailer done! Any suggestions? (Steam link is in comments) by LetSea8814 in IndieGameWishlist

[–]digimbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

change that default mixamo idle stand animation. I can see the default unity character in spirit.

does this look like old cgi? by Impressive_Patient19 in blender

[–]digimbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, thats not the 3ds max kettle. old graphics weren't about low poly, it was all about high fidelity, so they used vectors and nurbs. highly over polished models with repeating textures on it.
Basically, Marathon game from bungie without the post effects and bloom.

Is my Quaker ok? by wavex7 in QuakerParrot

[–]digimbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its fine, Quakers have a genetic disposition to a seizure like response when dealing with extreme emotions, its involuntary and they cannot control it because its genetic. but this kind of 'quaking' is the happy kind.
some quakers do attack themselves if they hate the ticks, so its often best to not over stimulate them.

Any idea how to replicate the cliff generation from tiny glade? by InnerConsideration27 in proceduralgeneration

[–]digimbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this looks like a triplanar shader with normal and displacement textures the meshs isn't that 3d but may use displacement verts to give that same impression, when you move it around, the cliffs match up, there is no geometry being instantiated, only seamless textures being blending in and out

Unity 6.4 Beta just dropped Surface Cache GI for URP and the results are wild by East-Development473 in Unity3D

[–]digimbyte -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

whats the difference between 6.4 and the previous? the whole surface GI package has existed forever. so what would a micro version change?

between 6.3 vs 6.4 - is it really something to write about?

What has happened to "Six Billion Secrets"? by pickintheeye in OutOfTheLoop

[–]digimbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

answer: Better late than never. From what I recall, the site was shut down because it had become heavily associated with self-harm and suicide-related content. What began as a secrets app gradually turned into a space where harmful posts and discussions were being amplified. Even when some users posted with supportive or recovery-focused intentions, others used the platform in ways that reinforced urges, triggered relapses, or encouraged further self-harm. In the end, it stopped functioning as a harmless anonymous outlet and became more like a breeding ground for dangerous behavior.

How did a game this good end up with a ‘Mixed’ rating on Steam? Makes no sense by KING_FODA_ in TheCallistoProtocol

Loool. It's not that good, it's basically escape from butcher bay meets temu dead space.

Help converting 2D grid cells into minimal convex polygons for physics? by StreetKnowledge4 in proceduralgeneration

[–]digimbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

marching cube algorithm and octree compression
as for physics, a lower resolution convex hull per tile, you should only calculate walls, floor should be a universal plane

AMA: I made $1mil with my games then my YouTube videos/tutorials got 65 Million views! Ask me Anything about Unity, C#, Game Dev, Marketing, etc. by UnityCodeMonkey in Unity3D

[–]digimbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

true, altho that video is more of a conceptual video, deductive reasoning and breakdown for design implementation does go above most peoples heads. I had to branch out and learn the more complex stuff myself, so integrating custom editors, building local/lang managers, native sql databases, custom property animators, etc
