I LOVE this so much!! The graphics could be better but the story and characters are simply wonderful! I'm pretty sure it's all inspired by the Bridgerton TV series are something similar, so if you like that you HAVE to try this!
Lol this came out way before Bridgerton, the latest update clearly says 2016. Kind of seems like you're calling the writer(s) unoriginal so it's a bit of a backhanded compliment and rude. And no I'm not affiliated with any of them, it's just that if I worked hard at something as an artist, I wouldn't want people to come in and make assumptions that I copied other literature. It's incredibly rude.
Well, it seems you only assume the worst things and want to call me out on something I didn't even mean, so that's quite rude itself. I was NOT saying it was unoriginal. Everything we say/dream/write/create is inspired from something. Why would that be a bad thing? I never said and I never meant "copied". I just wanted to let people, who were considering playing this game, know how it feels like. It was purely a very positive review. And regarding the timing: I said "or something similar". And besides the books have been around since 2000-2006. But I don't even care - if the author says, nah, it wasn't Bridgerton, then I guess it wasn't Bridgerton but something similar, like I said. It doesn't really matter at all - it was more of a description, so people know what they are getting themselves into.
I have no idea why that made you so mad. To me YOUR post was incredibly rude.
Nothing I said was rude nor implied anger, if I was hostile in any way or going off then you'd have a point but I was just calling out to you to be more mindful and aware of the words you choose to use because it can come off rude.
"I'm pretty sure it's all inspired by the Bridgerton TV series are something similar" the line speaks for itself, it definitely comes across as if the authors just took another body of work and regurgitated it. It's not about it being Bridgerton, it's about the words regardless of the art you claim they got inspired from. (And you did say TV series, not books, so it doesn't make sense to try and switch that up now.) Clearly, I'm not the only person who felt your comment wasn't the most considerate. Even if you meant differently, I'm just saying it comes across that way. As an artist it's not always fun to be compared to other people because it takes your own identity away. Especially when you put a lot of time and effort into something. Yet even though I made that point, you still insist on claiming it's inspired from something else. That's your right to still say, I'm just giving you food for thought that it's not the most considerate. Yes humans all get inspiration from things in some form on the unconscious/subconscious level, but that's clearly not what I'm referring to. Even if they did get some big inspiration, to make that assumption from the start and go on to claim it as an implied definite by saying "I'm pretty sure," without any actual previous knowledge/reasoning just may come off rude.
Just a PSA: Someone disagreeing does not equal anger and hostility. That being said, this is my last reply and engagement since you clearly got a bit defensive over a mere counterpoint that was entirely civil. There's no need to get so defensive about disagreements in life.
Well, if you call me "incredibly rude" over something I meant as a positive (!) review, I think I can very well call you rude too, so your "nothing I said was rude" doesn't really make sense to me. Accusing someone of something is not a "disagreement".
And I still have no idea, why it would be negative in any way to say something was "inspired" by whatever. I have a completely different view from yours. Art is compared to other art all the time without taking anything away from it. Especially if compared to something really good.
But anyway, since you already said you will not engage any further, I guess this ends here.
i know this was a long time ago but i don't get the discourse in the replies and the many downvotes on the original comment, im an artist myself and they mightve heavily confused it with being completely inspired by Bridgerton, but even if it was after Bridgerton had been released, there still wouldnt be anything insulting about it whatsoever. perhaps it was based on the style, setting, or some of the story aspects that coincidentally resembles the following series. and i dont think they meant to come off as backhanded or insulting, whenever i finish a movie or series i also tend to look for stuff that resembles it because its a current interest! yall shouldnt jump into conclusions so easily, im not totally sure but perhaps that was the commenters intention. :D
My heartfelt thanks! I really just meant to say something nice and something that would give people an idea of the game's style and theme. Maybe it came off wrong because English is not my native language but I still don't get why "inspiration" should be something bad when every creator uses it. The way I see it you can't create anything without it. But anyway - thanks again!
