Outline

Interesting idea but no tutorial, terrible UI, annoying music, aggravating gameplay. Skip this one.

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Outline is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", XiNFiNiTY Games, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/blinking-line-108570]Blinking Line[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Onefall Games, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. XiNFiNiTY Games has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "Infinity Escape" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/smash-way-hit-pyramids-50962]Smash Way Hit Pyramids[/url] developed by Andrew Oleynik [*] "Lozenge" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/trigon-an-awesome-puzzle-game-102001]Trigon[/url] developed by FMGames [*] "Infinity Trip" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/wavy-trip-73917]Wavy Trip[/url] developed by SgLib [*] "Abscond" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/tutorials/avoid-82067]Avoid game tutorial[/url] developed by Tommy Den Reijer [/list] The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Blinking Line" is just a minimalist mobile app line art puzzle game template, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so a copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips are an insult to both PC gamers and to professional game developers who create genuine, high quality PC games. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from XiNFiNiTY Games.
