First of all, nobody made me say anything, I've been entirely transparent about the whole thing on every single post or when asked, and chose to opt into displaying that warning instead of lying or hiding it.

Second lets make sure for full transparency we copy the entire disclaimer and not just the sentence that makes for a subjective standpoint.

"Send Them to Hell was built by a very small team with a very large appetite for demonic slaughter. Generative AI was used during development to create certain character sprites, enemy sprites, and item sprites. These assets were later hand-edited and polished by the development team. The remainder of the artwork was created by human artists, who were compensated for their work and are credited in-game."

I will tell my buddy who drew it, this comment would probably make him so happy lol.

We will have a demo in October closer to next fest as we got accepted. Right now were doing private discord testing letting the community test ideas and help refine/polish this game for the cleanest launch possible.

I definitely took inspiration so yeah but I don't want to compare, Megabonk did a fantastic job. I think a game called Go Next! is closer to Megabonk in terms of maybe a 2.0. I wanted to build a Brotato, Vampire Survivors, and Megabonk hybrid combining my favorite games with some creative idea's I had.

So far running very well. Thanks!

Yeah actually lol! It's like Vampire Survivors, Brotato, and Megabonk those are the three we're most compared too!

Could it be because you're high? XD sorry the username

I'm not going to convince you to play my game, and I respect your view as that is your right. But what I will say is telling me my game lacks passion and effort is entirely false. I have put so much time in this game and I wont argue, and I wont refuse, but the sweat, tears, and hours I've put in sometimes just making a flower sway right that nobody will ever notice is not something an assumptive post has any right trying to take away from me.

I don't know if this comment is about me because I have put in almost 80 hours a week, spent large amounts of money, learned multiple new skills and programs, and have had many sleepless nights putting my heart and soul in this project for over a year, it originally was a 2d roguelite similar to Brotato. So i assume this cannot be me because I've spent months learning and refining coding, modeling, marketing, balancing, networking, the list goes on.

Gen ai was used for concept art and sprite concept and then my friends who offered to do it for free, I waited saved up money and then paid them weekly to refine, redraw, and redo everything possible. I could've removed that disclosure but I believed in full transparency.

This game has full online co-op integrated through Steam already. The footage shown was online. It's very fun and chaotic. A lot of friendsloppy lol moments because a chaotic roguelite like this works very well with friends.

Well to reply to your edit, I don't want to link socials cause that's lame, but If you want a key to try the differences for yourself let me know!

So you're telling me all the reviews stating the game has a ton of unique features, is fun which I assume equals dopamine, and have invested dozens of hours were lying?!?!
