vsb

very excited for wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

neither company works for the other - little orbit purchased the STFU ip as part of the settlement and assumed the responsibility of releasing the game, probably to avoid the much steeper penalties descendent was seeking as far as i can tell descendent studios was created solely to handle STFU and has been inactive since offloading the project

descendent studios just sued the balls off little orbit, i dont think theyre sharing office space

game mechanics cant be copyrighted afaik, so as long as no names or assets from apb are used, theres no basis for a lawsuit

wow can't wait for wednesday!!!!!!!!

my assumption is it costs several hundred dollars a month to keep at least 10 instances up at all times they had to sell the ip for cash years ago when the pop was much higher, i doubt things have improved since then

why don't you do it?

i think you have a very strange definition of lucrative

chaos/anarchy districts need to have objectives otherwise the game mode will be dead in the water like the last 2 times it was run

chaos/anarchy districts were essentially district wide fight club, but the lack of any objective meant players generally ended up trading potshots across the park i still believe if orbit had put a year into polishing that game mode instead of riot, apb would be in a much better place

damn thats wild bro

i'd consider divorcing it entirely from apb - no references, no copied assets or art its better to start clean now than have to go back and change everything (or shut down) once you get hit with a c&d, if your copy ever gets off the ground something something history repeats itself

hilariously bad take just about every player gave riot a chance and there were thousands of constructive feedback posts, the responsibility rests solely on little orbit for dumpstering a year's worth of dev time rather than working to improve it

little orbit no longer owns the ip, so they can't make apb 2 a "spiritual successor" could be made, but it couldn't have any actual connection to apb aside from general mechanics without being sued into oblivion

stfu is the descent game orbit just purchased as part of their settlement in court, im not surprised theyre trying to leverage nfts to at least break even on that disaster

to be fair people said that after rtw, and then after g1 went radio silent, and then when little orbit fumbled riot the real moral of the apb story might be that there's always a sucker out there

this is a good opportunity to increase my post count

most ambient apb music was either made by farfletched or re-used songs from the original tracklist (available here or here) there are a few short loops like green planet sorting factory that i dont think are real songs, if its one of those then its probably only ingame

make a new apb where no colby players furries are allowed

didnt we already do this thread? tko is gold 10 and everyone else is silver 3, gg ez

poll seems biased

you don't have to bother with any of those fields other than the ones marked as required with an asterisk is this your first time filling out an online form?

another banger

[abortion joke]

has anyone been dropping dps calculations in this thread? i dont find raw dps all that useful in apb, it only slightly matters for niche stuff like specific av weapons or kevlar
