VN Ren'Py Nephilim [v0.5.3] [BuuPlays]

[Krytax123]

So they literally stole BEAT FOR BEAT Lust City's plot? One. Why? That fucking game is terrible. Two. Why? Are you completely talentless or just a hack? Three. What else in the game is completely taken beat for beat? Anyone got a tally? They reuse their own scenes but to just blatantly take an entire other game and redo it but with different models is... I don't have words. I've no respect for this kinda stuff.

Hmm yeah nobody has an answer to that as far as im aware, not even the biggest fans.

I really like this avn despite the flaws and am an on/off supporter since the very beginning and i cant comprehend why buu did that. Why copy the plot of a worse game with a worse plot, its just so strange.

Maybe he had a bad case of writers block or something and feels too pressured by his monthly releases ... i dunno ... doesnt make too much sense either or its meant as a praise towards ... lust city ? (x for douubbbbttt)

maybe both are plagiarizing some story and he wasnt aware another avn did it already? No clue

Writer's block does not mean "Copy an entire game" There's no rationalizing, no defending. The ONLY POSSIBLE DEFENSE is he is the one who made the other game and you can't legally plagiarize yourself. Even then it's a completely different game. I wanted to like the game so hard. But Love at first sight every ten seconds. Powers that suddenly appear to help. Skipping weeks to avoid dialogue of any kind. I'm out. Everyone else should be too.

I still have to play recent updates but from what I read reminds me of an episode of Futurama

Yeah im not rationalizing or defending, i try to come up with ideas why buu did decide to do that

 

[xapican]

Well, took me by Surprise, opposite to the other member, I liked LC, maybe I'm too benevolent, but I doesn't come to a plagiarize across, he copied a bit of the plot and inserted own characters, it is hard on the edge tho.
Maybe it is a bit of all the possiblitys Krytax listed who knows, I liked it so no problem for me

Yea I stopped playing this for a while because I wasn't really enjoying the pirate story with the 2 sisters but decided to give this a try again and wow... The dude really stole the whole plot from that game. He could've taken the idea and tried to do something different with it but yea it's the exact same story.

 

[Capt. Obvious!]

I'm confused how's he copying? I never played the game y'all are saying he copied

No idea,even if it's the same idea,Nephilim is a lot better...

 

[xapican]

yeah like I wish they actually showed any evidence of copying and shit but they still haven't and idk why if they actually think it's copying the other game

the Whole Amazone tribe set up is 1:1 , the way MC got to the Tribe and pass trough the first test.
The whole Jungle adventure and how he finds Pearl,
although there are also clear differences, that is why I said it is hard on the edge of copying, in my post.
I enjoyed that other game, I encourage you to play it, (if you want to delve deeper in this subject)
What is clear is that the Dev. took a strong inspiration on that game which I personally find apealling.

You can search my previous posts. I posted renders from both VNs in the same post to compare. There are a lot of similarities, too many to be coincidental. Even some of the progression of the sex scene with Pearl is a copy of the first scene the MC has in LC.

[jadepaladin]

holy shit I think the only difference is the chains they used and that's it like how the hell does he think almost an exact replica is good?

I have no idea. I'm personally indifferent to LC but it was extremely noticeable. My belief is Buu got permission to do some kind of tribute/homage. Normally that would come with advertising the game somehow but that didn't happen. Given the audience for both VNs bleed over a bit, someone else has to have brought it up to Buu, either a patron or someone on the discord, I wouldn't know. If he's silent about it there, that's his choice. I don't think it really takes anything away from Nephilim, since you wouldn't know unless you also played LC.

I am ready to move on from it though. It feels like a filler arc.

so who cares? So one of the many stories is similar to another story out there, is that a problem ?

Who did it better?

Nobody cares, people just mentioning/noticing it, nobody has complained about the fact that the story arc is a carbon copy of the other game.
Don't get it the wrong way mate, but you sound like someone insulted your favorite toy.

*see qoute box below*

I see you got Miltons and my point !
He asked about proofs, I told him some that I could percive, and that he should play that game, if he wants to have a 1st hand comparsion, as well there is still the possibility that all this arc is an "homenage, cameo" of a game which Buu loves.

Who did it better?

I don't know since I see both games as something unique, and this all is subjective ,
I personally like both. so no problem.

I mean it's not that Nephilim is a copyof the other game. It's just that one of many story arcs look like they were taken from somewhere. And probably changed a bit, to fit the story...

Of course not, Nephilim has a lot more "unique selling points".

The TLC story arc just came unexpected at least for me. I guess Buu liked it that much, that he wanted to implement this into his journey too. Good i guess.
I liked TLC until the dev decided to add the Sandbox tag to it. So to see it here again is nice

Yeah, you were "wickedly" pissed back then iirc

 

[Badjourasmix]

It's not even because it's a similar idea. The whole plot with the tribe of only women is identical to lust city. The assets for the village and the temples are pretty much the same and even the tests/trials the mc has to go through are almost identical as well. Just play the first season of Lust City and you will see.

 

[Requah]

Has Buu commented on the adaptation/copying of TLC or did he think no one would notice? Maybe he has permission from the Dev of TLC to adopt some of the content?

 

[Maviarab]

Guys..TLC is on Steam, has been for a while. While it would be wise (imo) for Buu to make a statement amount about it, if he he did not receive permission he running a lot of risks, given Candylight has propriety copyright on his work.

So let's just assume Buu isn't an idiot and did indeed get permission.

I mean ... simply looking at Buu's username/logo could give the impression that he may does not give this much of a fuck about copyright laws so who knows.
