We actually didn’t just yet. It was fixed originally on the main branch, but reappeared on the Experimental branch where the original screenshot is from. It will be fixed on Experimental when we update it.

Had you left off that last sentence on the comment I responded too I would 100% agree, but you used the term misinformation twice in this thread yet put your own out there (presumably inadvertently).

My issue is mainly that people tend to jump on the narrative that it’s a big bad corporation enforcing their brand, throwing lawsuits at everyone. It’s not Coca Cola going for an organic limonade stand.

Fair enough, but they have been known to very selectively enforce their trademark (which contrary to popular belief, is not optional like copyrights and patents). They have been known to let particularly high level donors use the logo without the express consent that those laws often require.

I don't have an issue with an organization protecting their trademark/copyright/patent, I just have an issue when they do it selectively for blatantly obvious reasons. (Again though, defendin...

Also, thanks for the corrections! It’s appreciated!

I think the last part might be vital for the aggressive impression people have apart from clickbait game journalism. AFAIK over here they are not actively investigating, but will reach out if they get a report, and ask about content. That might be different with American Red Cross.

While I cannot see the original post that you deleted, I can say that you are also not 100% correct Jacob.

Regardless of any red cross involvement or lack thereof, and regardless of GSG's reasoning, the red cross is actually trademarked in many countries, and the various "Red Cross of (insert X country)" organizations do in fact "bully" many companies into changing their medical logos, even when they are being used otherwise correctly. (Strongly worded letters is typically as far as the "bullying" goes though).

Here's a excerpt from the American red cross website: https://www.redcross.org/lp/brand-standards.html

The American Red Cross name and logo are trademarks of the American Red Cross. Our trademark rights in American Red Cross and the red cross emblem date back to 1881. With the exception of a few individuals and companies that used the Greek red cross before 1905, the ...

Take your misinformation elsewhere.

I removed your post, because you’re spreading the narrative that Red Cross is bullying anyone using the symbol. The use of the symbol is restricted as per the Geneva Convention intended to protect non-combatants. The purpose is to have an easily recognizable symbol that isn’t used out of context, and THAT is why it is protected. It’s not a company protecting their logo or trademark.

Edit: I’m also not entirely correct. See below 👇

I did not get the reference, no.

Where are my sandwiches, Jacob?

Fed them to my kids.

Remember: All feedback is valid if it’s constructive and reasonable. We value it all.

Edit: Not as a reply to this post specifically. Geez.

Isn't it already? All critique to the game is shut down by "it's small indie company" or "GSG are the best in all industry". Those who don't get downvoted have to apologize in advance and put praise to the game before any negative input.

It might not be obvious, but even if there is a heavy lean towards positivity towards us, we can still measure the feedback and we’re still listening.

u/GSG_Jacob Are you guys not expanding the team on purpose(policy for example) or because people don't apply for spots?(No hate, I am genuinely curious if you'd be willing to answer something such as this.)

Yes and no. We are expanding, but slowly. We need the right people, we need space for them, and we need to have the internal structure to manage the teams too. There are many reasons to not just put up new desks and fill the spot easily. Crew needs to be managed, and getting to a spot where you can do that also takes time.

5.5 million copies sold, that's 165 mil? plus dlc on top, small team, the owner is giga rich and of course minus taxes etc. But still, resources are abundant and here we are...

Your math is a bit off. You need to consider sales, license fees, Steam/ Sony/Microsoft takes a cut, publisher takes a cut, hardware and software costs, backend, rent, insurance, utilities, food, marketing, and paying 30+ industry professionals for years. We also have the occasional party at the office.

We’re also investing in developers in our local area to bolster the game dev environment here + our new publishing branch and investing in the future. Most of our founders bike or commute to work, and live where they lived 6 years ago, so there are no gold plated Teslas pulling into the office yard. Also, we don’t have any parking spots at the office, so maybe that’s part of it.

What happened to levels 91-100 in the narrated trailer, you didn’t show them? Mistake, or did you not want everyone to freak out over blue hair?

It was supposed to be a surprise!

I'm quite intrigued by the equipment randomization, but what I'm curious about is if it'll come with the ability to randomize framework and paintjob on weapons, much like you can do at the cosmetics terminal? I've frequently wished I could randomize those for a bit of inspiration or unexpected combinations.

I… think so? 😅
