Cat Adventure

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "Cat Adventure" is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unreal Marketplace packs, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.[/quote] Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. In this case, the Russian asset flipper took a couple of very basic, minimum quality assets, and dumped them on an Unreal platformer blueprint. They didn't even bother with proper backgrounds or textures beyond anything the stolen assets came with. This is a minimum viable product cash grab. It has no value or merit as a real game. In fact this is basically a reskin of the same game from the same developer, he's done this a several times: [list] [*] Boss of the Mafia [*] Cat Adventure [*] Cat Adventure 2 [*] The Duck is in Danger [*] Dog Adventure [*] Funny Panda [*] Save The Bear Cubs [/list] These are all the same platformer game but reskinned with different stolen assets. Repeatedly copying and pasting the same game onto Steam! This has absolutely no value for gamers at all... it just gives indie developers a bad name. Quarlellle have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1801850]Cats War[/url]" = [url=https://unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/polygon-town-pack]Polygon Town Pack[/url] developed by Synty Studios [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1903600]Zombie VS Police[/url]" = [url=https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/polygon-city-pack]POLYGON - City Pack[/url] developed by Synty Studios [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1776260]Crazy Truck[/url]" = [url=https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/polygon-city-pack]POLYGON - City Pack[/url] developed by Synty Studios [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1819190]Rescue Helicopter[/url]" = [url=https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/polygon-city-pack]POLYGON - City Pack[/url] developed by Synty Studios [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1937600]Crime City[/url]" = [url=https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/polygon-city-pack]POLYGON - City Pack[/url] developed by Synty Studios [/list] Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visuals, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent/interest in doing the graphics properly and trying to disguise it under the name of "art", or "We made it look bad on purpose", which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with. It's unclear why the developers weren't willing to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets and high resolution textures for the game. It looks bad as a result of their decisions, and that's just another reason to avoid it. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 4 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. This kind of asset flipping isn't harmless. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games from ethical developers. It makes it harder for genuine indie developers, who put hard work into trying to make real games, to find an audience for their products. It gives indie developers a bad name. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? "Cat Adventure" is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. Remember that if you buy a game from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

when will my suffering end

Jesus spoke about the end of the world. He explained how the earth will one day pass away. He also shared that there will be an increase in earthquakes, famines, wars and pandemics before the end. But, in the book of Revelation, the apostle John shared how God will then create a new heaven and new earth. Jesus was very clear that no one knows when the end will come. He explained that he would one day return at a time that no one expects, like a thief in the night. Followers of Jesus are therefore encouraged to “be ready”. Believers were never promised to have less troubles than other people. However, Jesus does promise to help those who ask through any and every trouble of life. Nothing you will ever face in your life can surprise God, not even the end of the world. The speech that I give now is not a speech; it is a warning. I must tell you that our heavenly guides left us no details. The end of a world and the end of billions of lives may sound difficult to bring about, but I have studied the Bible, the Koran, and the Vedas closely. And I have learned that there are dark forces around us. There are dark forces under our feet. There are dark forces above our heads. There are dark forces floating about in the air. And these forces, if combined, could destroy this world a thousand times over in a thousand different ways. They are deadlier than the deadliest atomic bomb that any group of scientists could put together. And, ladies and gentlemen, there is only one thing that I, a decorated scholar of spirits, can tell you. That we must be prepared for the darkness to strike. We must be prepared. Another thing we must do, ladies and gentlemen, is to never lose faith; not just in our gods, but in each other. As the world around us crumbles, as it will, we must hold hands and hope for the best. Surround yourselves with the ones you love. Surround yourselves with the things you love. Surround yourself with your most magical memories. Surround yourselves with love. And, ladies and gentlemen, live your remaining life to the fullest. Whether or not it was the intention of the spirits that watch over us, we have managed to turn life on Earth into a beautiful thing. And as our planet withers, we must remember that above all else.
