Not a Masterpıece

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "Not a Masterpıece" 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 asset flipper, Atomic Fabrik (wearing a fake moustache) took a "special forces" character model and slapped it on an Unreal Marketplace platformer blueprint with a few other stolen assets. It has no value or merit as a real game. What's interesting about this particular asset flip is that it's Unreal based and fits more closely with the MO for Tero Lunkka, who frequently uses the same third person platformer asset pack and stolen character models on his asset flips. It is, however, well known that these guys work closely together, co-publishing bundles and using the same fake review services. Gamesforgames/Atomic Fabrik 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/2862020]Let's Park Bus Edition[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellmyapp.com/downloads/smart-bus-parking-games-bus-driving-simulator-2021/]Bus Driving Simulator 2021[/url] developed by The Armor Gaming [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2862050]Spaceship Driver License[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/x-racer-35344]X-Racer[/url] developed by Deer Cat [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2833830]Gas Gas Rocket![/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/hovershift-107789]Hovershift[/url] developed by SgLib Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2477000]Next Station: Zombies[/url]" = [url=https://getunitycode.com/product/merge-train-zombie-defense-unity-source-code/]Merge Train Zombie Defense[/url] developed by Virgil Source [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2124660]Fix My Cat Doc[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellmyapp.com/downloads/kitty-cat-doctor-pet-vet-doctor-game/]Kitty Cat Doctor Pet Vet Doctor Game[/url] developed by Fast Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2864300]Zombodesert[/url]" = [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cXnw-32BjA]Macho Dash[/url] developed by TAPP Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2805630]Botmobile[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/car-stunts-48972]Car Stunts [/url] developed by Ace [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2387820]Beach Gas Gas[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellmyapp.com/downloads/highway-racer-traffic-car-race/]Highway Racer Traffic Car Race[/url] developed by Unity Boy [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2862040]One Chance[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellmyapp.com/downloads/i-hate-fingers/]I Hate Fingers[/url] developed by Fox Game Studio [/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. Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying sound/background music, you'll need to alt+tab out and stop it using the Windows sound mixer. This is obviously not okay and it's unclear why the developers chose not to include this basic feature. 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. "Not a Masterpıece" didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is "LEVEL 1", playing the first level, trivial to get, but less than 37 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, even the people who own this game weren't interested in it. The poor quality of this game is also 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 2 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.

They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product.[/quote] 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? "Not a Masterpıece" has the insane price of $25 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. 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. [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]

Please, don't buy this. I'd rather eat 100 forks than play this abomination. It's not worth 25€, 20€, 10€, 5€, 1€ or even 0,01€. Keep your ####### hands from this ####. Have a nice day :)

no fun

[h3]Эта игра явно не произведение искусства...[/h3] ...Но это 3д платформер с очень лёгкими достижениями! Нужно всего-то пробежать 3 уровня и нажать на красную кнопку в конце. В целом всё линейно, потребуется минут 10 чтобы дойти до конца. Лут по дороге можно смело игнорировать.

Лимб из которого нужно сбежать, играя за персонажа нужно выбраться из него, нужно много прыгать, а упадешь вниз, начнешь сначала, даже коснувшись воды, в игре присутствует 3 уровня, с каждой степени сложности

Макс Пэйн бродил в каких-то видениях, Принц Персии бродил, а теперь и ниндзя на очереди… Проиграть не проиграем, если упадём, но забег на уровне придётся начать заново, а всего их три… Множество иллюзорных предметов встречают нас, чтобы сбить с толку и не дать выпутаться из данного лабиринта. Если же вздумаем на паузу нажать, то не тут-то было и придётся начинать похождения наши с самого начала. Был рад помочь и данному герою выпутаться из кошмарного лабиринта, а заодно и все достижения получил!

Привет, Марио. Твоя принцесса в другом замке. Погоди, а почему ты чёрный? Ах ты не Марио, а омоновец, защитник порядка и каратель угнетённых! Целых десять минут бежал через все три уровня Грибного королевства. Да тут всего-то один уровень, просто ты бегал в разные стороны, пока Боузер покатывался с хохота. Что значит "заткнуться и всем лежать"? Лежу-лежу, все грибы уже облизал, только не ори, голова и так трещит. Что значит "мочить в сортирах"? Тут нет сортиров, только грибочки, облачка монетки. Нет, я не пытаюсь тебя подкупить. Монетки они для красоты, их вообще собирать не нужно. Эй, да что ты делаешь? Не надо так! А ну верни ухо где выросло! Вот же ж извращенец. Хорошо хоть принцесса перепряталась.

Забавная крохотная аркада. Вам надо подобрать ключ и провести героя к красной кнопке. Тут 3 уровня. За каждый получите достижение. Локация одна, она довольно большая. Все действия происходят на ней, но на каждом уровне меняется положение персонажа, ключа и финишной кнопки.
