Hello from tonight's stream!

At first, I was having a lot of fun with the ridiculousness of this game. Sword vulneraries, sword shields?! How insane could this get?! I was excited for what was to come.

And then I made a discovery, one I'm not happy about. One that has outright stripped any joy or positive opinions I had of this game.

You're either borrowing artwork or outright stealing artwork to make your enemy spites. Depending on which it is will drastically alter my view of this game. For the sake of politely, I'll assume the better option.

First, to validate my claim. Many if not all of the enemies come from Fire Emblem Heroes. I have at least three characters from FEH that you've traced for your enemies: Amelia, Sheena and Frederick were copied to be used for the Lunatic Axe, the Axe Witch and Axe Rebel respectively.

When I first saw this, I decided to see if you were selling this game yet. While you don't charge a price for it, you do allow people to pay for it if they want. As such, you may also be in a dangerous legal situation. If Nintendo were to find out about this game, they would no doubt sue you. I would recommend pulling the game off itch.io for now and replace those graphics.

Sprites were based on Fire Emblem characters. If they ended up looking too similar to the original ones, I apologize,  In order to play safer I've uploaded a new version that no longer uses those sprites and disabled the ability to offer donations. I'll be working on fresh art, thank you for your helpful comments.

As a means of expressing my thanks for this change, I'll be sure to play it again towards the end of the jam so I can give you proper feedback. I'm just glad it wasn't an issue of trying to hide it. I would say you should continue to take donations, just be mindful of using artwork from companies like Nintendo. They're very litigious.
