Gone.

Hello everyone.

So today I have sad news to bring to you, I’ve been plagied.

I had some messages there telling me if I made a game that I released lastly, knowing I didn’t I asked no and wanted to know why many people asked me this, then they gave me a link to the Facebook page of the company :

 https://www.facebook.com/fortafygames

I looked on it, and directly saw the icon that is, quasi my little pigeons I animate bouncing, then I was like “ mmm … maybe they were inspired but they could ask for permission because it’s way too similar for my taste, it’s really like my animations”  then I saw the videos and it was terrible.

You may already what I animate, but when I saw the video of the gameplay, I had no words.

All of my motions, bouncing animals, Dancing frames are exactly the sames !!

They totally copied my art !!!

So I contacted them, I wanted to be sure, they replied me that it’s for game and that my art is for animation so it’s not the same. Sigh 

So I told my friends about it, many tried tu put messages to discuss with them, no success. Some even were blocked when they put proof of my work.

I’m lost, I didn’t sleep last night because of this, I contacted lawyers and got some explanation, so it’s still going but I have to deal with it and I wanted you to know my current situation.

I share this with you because I’m an artist, this kind of thing happen to us WAY too often and I want to act, for me, for you, for any artists on the internet!

It have to stop!

I have so many proofs on my blog, but also you know me and my art well. 

I can’t let this pass and stay there.

Please be aware of this and tell people that it’s total plagiat of my art.

Thank you.

Yo! Please avoid downloading or supporting this game! What was done was a plagiarism of intellectual property, it’s rather illegal! If anyone has more experience with law and how k-eke can fight for their work, please let them know! For those who can’t, spread the word and reblog this post! Thanks!

As someone who works in mobile games unfortunately this might fall into a gray area because they can cite it as reference only because it doesn’t look exactly like the original creator’s characters.  This is why there are so many rip off games especially in the google app store because their rules and regulations are so much more loose. BUT It doesn’t hurt to still report it to the google play store and the apple app store for inappropriate/plagiarized work. If there’s enough reports it will be looked at. The second thing you can do is HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS in their ratings. Leave 1 star reviews as much as you can so they fall further and further down the list of top rated apps and bury them from getting attention. Don’t download or play the game because it makes money off of ad revenue that automatically appear during gameplay so even just playing it can make the company money even if you don’t make any in-app purchases. 

Also, many companies have contacts where you can call them for customer support so there’s no reason you can’t call them and politely point out that what they’re doing is plagiarism. They might be rude and ignore you, but they can’t overlook the fact that many have filed complaints about it.

Right now their reviews and ratings are still pretty high so many average players will not even bother to look into if it is plagiarized. So make sure to downrate “Pigeon Pop” on Google Play and the App Store and leave a 1 star review about their misconduct. Animation is still hard work and 100% considered art. It’s one thing to reference and use another artist’s work for inspiration and another to completely copy it with no thought or effort of your own and then profit from their hard work.

some fool: wokeness is killing humor, only offensive jokes are funny
