Just started it this morning and having fun so far, now I just need someone to make a game in the spirit of Sly Cooper!
Unfortunately multiple sources seem to agree Dong Nguyen has no involvement, which is consistent with the way he originally shut down Flappy Bird due to people spending too much time on it :(
“The Flappy Bird Foundation said it has acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings LLC, a U.S. company that appears to have wrestled the trademark from Nguyen, as well as the rights for the original game and character from Piou Piou vs. Cactus, the mobile game that supposedly originally inspired the Flappy Bird character.”
And the trademarks were sleazily grabbed from the original creator :/
It’s almost baffling to think we still have mysteries like this so long after the game’s (apparently aborted) release, but it’s really cool to read along with the investigation!
“Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec”
Amen to that
It probably would’ve been useful to include the list of actual games:
“The three games included are: The Wing of Madoola, Firework Thrower Kantaro’s 53 Stations of the Tokaido and Ripple Island.”
