How did you get access to this, first of all, and second that;s fucking amazing.

someone was just beta testing on central so I joined and started recording. It's really not amazing, at all, but I figured I would share anyways. I think we were all expecting this soon.
@3 all fair and accurate details lol. There wasn't much of a point to it, just a ridiculous topic, I still make those from time to time.

@5 I think he was referring to mine.
There was another event that just happened, we started a party and it immediately ended. Someone said they got 3 gemmes from it. I wasn't paying attention so not sure if I did.

Could be betatesting, could be variable editing and not official at all. I think though that Crazy Party has no official beta team because the versions themselves are called betas and I seem to remember Pragma saying something of the sort. I remember suggesting being able to type values one time though and I believe he said that in his opinion the feature wasn't worth the code.

I didn't bash the game itself. It's a great game. I bashed how poorly it is tested before release.
Whether this is legit or not, I wasn't the host of the party. The other game that ended immediately wasn't from the same host, it was someone else I was on the call with who started that game.
The argument of it being not worth the code makes no sense, because you literally just convert a string to an int, and put it in a while loop so you force the player to type an int. And you just assign a min and max value. Rather than having to extend a lit of values every time. Code it once and be done with it, and if you want to change the min or max, you literally just change one number.

@9: I wanted to make that point as well, but I figured it wasn't worth the typing. Thanks for doing it.
@10: I code, I know it's not relatively that difficult of a change, but I believe Pragma feels differently and it's his game. It would just be a quality of life thing anyways, I don't see why it's a big deal. Certainly not worth the bashing in post 1.
@11: I believe that Pragma has said it'll remain beta as long as it's in active development.

@12 the bashing isn't about the game, it's not even about how he codes the game. It is about how poorly they test the version before making it public. You don't need to be a coder to test the game. You do need a coder to fix any bugs, but as I have heard a thousand times on this forum, don't release something if half the new things or old things are broken. I don't understand why this game isn't held to the same standards.

The hell happened the last months? What's with all the bashing all of a sudden? Cp has always been very stabil for me. Yes, new versions can introduce bugs. But that's how it works with *every* single piece of software ever made. Even so, the more game-breaking bugs were always fixed within a day or two. Don't forget what beta actually means. It means you're playing what is basically a public test version. And yes, betas can break things. I find it amazing how people don't roast apple for bugs introduced in beta versions of ios, which are relatively easy to access for even laypersons, but then destroy Pragma here. It doesn't add up. Also, cp definitely isn't a "low-end game". I've gotten far more enjoyment out of cp than I have from most new releases in the past 5 years, you mark my words. It's one of the few games I still come back to and play regularly, even though there hasn't been an update in a while. Need I remind you that many of you were ready to vote cp into the best game of 2016? It came in second place just behind Eurofly. Let that stand for something.

lol Nidza, deflecting as always.

Crazy Party stole hundreds of assets from popular games, and used them to great effect. You don't really have to be your own game if you borrow from Mario and Pokémon this heavily. I've said it before. If any other game did this - and yes, I've seen evidence of this - it would be roasted for being unoriginal or even a clone. But a magical exception has been made for CP because it hits players in the feels. Or something. If I made an RPG and borrowed hundreds of Final Fantasy or other JRPG sound effects and music, but made an original JRPG, I would be absolutely destroyed for using copyrighted assets, and rightfully so.

Sure, a ton of code has gone into CP, and I'm not denying its popularity. But you likewise can't deny that it's basically the mother of all clones, floating on hundreds of pirated assets.
Why did I bring it up here? Because believe it or not, it's relevant. I've watched CP's progress over the years, and a bunch of beta releases introduced bugs that had to be very quickly fixed. Zarvox isn't wrong when he says that sometimes the testing protocols for this game aren't very good. Stuff that probably should've been caught before going live makes it to a live release, fucks up people's games, and then gets fixed in the next beta. It's why there have been as many beta releases as there have been. But people are just happy that beta version x+whatever is now live, because it means more games, more updates. I just feel that the standards of expectation for this game are, by and large, considerably lower than for other games. You'd expect other games to have their own assets, but for CP it's okay. You'd expect other games to fix their bugs if they're so easy to replicate, but for CP it's okay. Well, for me, not so much.

I could mention a bunch of unplayable audiogames, even paid ones, but why bother? It's jayde, and somehow piracy has something to do with bugs in the game. Hint, how was A hero's call when it launched? It was a ton of fun to play with a bunch of script errors and crashes all over the place. The game had a beta team, the game was paid, and it was almost unplayable in certain areas when it came out. Manamon had a few extremely nasty bugs where save files could get corrupted, again, paid game. Am I bashing the games? Hell no, there are no double standards for me. I give each game a few weeks to get polished and fixed, and Crazy party is always fixed within a matter of a few days, not weeks.
The assets have heavily been discussed already and there is literally no reason to repeat that. What double standards? You could go through all the games in the database and find at least 20 with stolen sounds, and nobody will say hey, these games should all go away, but Crazy party should not because we like it. I personally think no game should be removed, but that's another topic. Those who think that they should don't give an exception just because it is Crazy party. I literally saw nobody saying we should get rid of all these games but leave CP because it's a great game.

Let me ask everyone who loves CP a lot a question. Lets say the game had been complete garbage and everyone had attacked it. Would one of those attacks have been about the number of ripped off sounds taken from other games? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, whether it's admitted to or not. We seem to bash clones of trash games, as we should, but say nothing about a game that takes so much from mainstream. Keep in mind I'm saying nothing about the game itself, how it plays, or the time put into it. I'm just saying you can't suddenly be okay with blatant ripoffs because you're getting something out of the experience.
