My games were banned and I originally made them from free templates from GDevelop thinking it was ok to do so yet they still got taken down, I’m confused? The game develop rules didn’t help with understanding the problem with using templates made to be reused and posted. If possible, could you repost my games? Thanks

Your games aren't getting re-uploaded any time soon - you hadn't made them from GDevelop templates, you copy-pasted them those same templates and called it a day.


Your shit was in blatant violation of the Game Guidelines - pointing to specifics:

Your game must not be a modified version of someone else's work, including tutorial files.

So basically… I can make a game off of a TEMPLATE MADE TO BE REUSED AND POSTED because it’s “copy and paste” even though that’s what TEMPLATES ARE MADE TO BE?

Newgrounds is specifically meant for your own original work.

Asset-flipping some template files you found on GDevelop isn't gonna fly here.

There's a difference between using a template to kickstart your project, using its core mechanics and then adding more content, replacing art assets, polishing it, adding more features.

That's what templates and tutorials are meant to be for, and no one will get mad at you for using them this way. Everybody uses a tutorial for a small part of their project at some point.


What is often the case (and I didn't see your project specifically) is somebody just publishing a template with only minor adjustments, or the end result of the tutorial video. Or downloads Kenney's assets or free Unity templates and just publishes them as is.


It takes minimal effort, there's hardly any influence you had on the final game (despite being called its author) and bigger problem is that templates are usually a pack of features, or a proof-of-concept. They purposefully don't tend to be full games with enough content and fun gameplay.


Lurk in the games Under Judgement section for a while, and you too will get quickly tired of the somewhat frequent Construct platformer tutorial results which are single screen long, showcase collecting coins and getting killed by spikes, have the same exact bugs which the tutorial didn't account for and most of all there's thirty seconds worth of boring content.

It's a good start to build your own platformer, but not when you declare it finished at this stage.

Listen man, you gotta know STUFF to develop stuff. just doing the same shit over and over again isn't art or a fun game in general. I also see you used AI art for your game "Paddle Battle" you also have to have an account for gd games in order to play it which shouldn't be required to play a fucking web game, the only game I see having like one little slither of hope that's sorta fun is Wave Defense Game. but other than that you're a joke.

  1. there are other ways to tell me that then doing this and being a prick about it.
  2. i know it’s ai, I don’t draw, so stop making claims thinking I can draw like a professional.
  3. learn from my feedback and not being a prick when giving feedback, your using destructive criticism, not constructive criticism.
