So I get a link from a friend who found MY game assets (artwork and tilesets) on GameDev Market being sold by some POS claiming it to be theirs! No fucking way!! ??????? Their site is fucking pitiful and lacks any fucking contact information to bring this shit down! They've been selling my art as theirs since at least 2022, and possibly since 2019. Holy shit I'm about to explode!
 
That just plain sux sis'. :no:
I had my daughter send them a message via social media as they have no other contact info. Apparently the "company" is located in the UK, but the asshole(s) selling it have their own site with my assets (and I'm assuming others) for sale, and have a PO Box in Oklahoma, but no other info.
They seem to have accounts on numerous other sites doing this, including some pretty big names. What a fucking nightmare.
 
Tell me about it...

That's bullshit. I hope you get it sorted out, that's a lot of hard work for someone to just steal it. No difference between someone stealing a song and claming it's theirs.
 
My brother and I pitched an idea for a video game, and those mf'ers at Konami stole it.

Our game was going to be called "Waffle House At 4:00 am" and all those bastards did was change the title.

What's a tile set?
They're videogame background/environment pixel art in a "tile" format that expand/transform to certain conditions dependent on the ones surrounding them. It's a lot of work, these were 32x32 tilesets, specifically. About 2,500 of them at about 5 minutes to hours each of work to design and program to the engine. Think 80s/90s videogames. Hundreds of sprites, too (characters with individual frames(16+ drawings per character) based on movement/direction/setting, etc...).

Trying to get sorted, been up throughout the night emailing sites I've found them on. Luckily (I guess if that's what it is) the assholes are using the same username. It's not even about $ or time, (although the time part really sucks), but about the fucking assholes stealing my work and telling people in the license agreements to credit them for it!!!! Money they're making is prob little to none, but it seems they are doing this to a lot of people on a lot of sites. Going out on a limb and guessing they're probably not really from Oklahoma, USA.

Nintendo told me no mature rated games!
And then they go and pull something like this?!
Sorry for your loss.
 
They probably are - lots of thieves in the US. It's the home of the low life porch pirate. Although I wouldn't put it past India or China either.
Big talk from a guy who lives in a country originally populated by convicts! Oh well, your Chinese masters will make sure none of you m8's never get out of line again.

As I often point out they only came here after they couldn't send the convicts to the US anymore. You were their first port of call before we were even invented. Your education system is very selective. Anyway why is it big talk? It's true enough. You have so many low socioeconomic people there and there is a lot of theft because of it. I have quite a lot of friends in Kentucky and there's always some post about stuff going on. How someone's parcel went missing, garage got broken into or dirt bike got stolen etc etc etc etc. Every day seems to be a new drama. It's like a soap opera.

Yeah, none of that happens in Australia.

On a related note, there’s probably about as many people in Kentucky as there is in Australia. Though I have to say the Bogan population is probably greater in Kentucky. Don’t judge the US by Kentucky. Or Arkansas for that matter. ?

I like how their founding father was The Hon. Ken Tucky.

When I was 15 or 16 I was hitch hiking to Tampa and ended up stuck in Paducah for about 6 hours. Repeatedly hassled by cops. They failed to search my backpack thoroughly though. There was a bottle of Jack in there they missed.

Buncha fuckin rednecks in Paducah. I’ve never been back.
