Sprite theft?

[StephanosRex]

Alright, I decided to stop teasing myself with betas and the like so I haven't been following the project since around...01 I think, but I saw this ad and it sparked a memory:

Am I just hallucinating or is that one of the SRB2 Sonic animations at the bottom there?

 

[Senku Niola]

Why yes, yes it is.

 

[SRB2 Guy]

Yep, that would be Sonic's diagional walking frames.

 

[StephanosRex]

Thought so. Looks like somebody got spritejacked. Lemme dig through my history and see if I can find where the ad headed to...

Whoop. http://www.internetgamebox.com/

Dunno if this happens often now or what, but there it is.

Yeah, that website often uses SRB2 as its main hook, "3D SONIC GAME FREE DOWNLOAD OMG". Sadly, there's nothing anyone can do about it except for SEGA, which owns the rights to Sonic as a trademark. A small fanbase can't really contact them and tell them to take it down or... that's just it. It's impossible to say "OR WE'LL SUE YOU", because it's a fangame. We're lucky SEGA didn't step in and ruin this game as well.

 

[StephanosRex]

Ah. Yeah, I had a feeling it was something like that. You'd think Sega would take more of a notice to them using it to pump out their adware or whatever they use it for than STJ just making it though -.-

 

[Mikesword221]

It's kinda polished...

 

[tertu]

...but definately SRB2.

And guess what?!

THE REAL GAME IS ULTIMATE FLASH SONIC!!!1

I got so boared of UFS. It's just Sonic Advanced 2, and that boared me too.

You know, seeing this makes me realize something. Sonic needs another two head angles while walking to make the animation smoother. The arms move smoothly, the legs move smoothly, but the head just doesn't fit in with the smoothness of the animation.

On topic, I think finding some people to DDOS them would be a great idea. Thieves deserve punishment. Did they give credit for all the things they stole? No. Did they make any of this? No. They just profit off of the successes of others. In the meantime, I'm going to start flooding them with requested "support" that plays on their guilt.
