1. I actually played Ultra Power. I think it was Ultra Power 10 or something. I found it boring and thought the map travel points were to jumbled. That's why i say its unfair to call Constant Battle a clone. I think BC is a way, way, better game than Ultra Power. I think, it was good for its time, but old and outdated today.
2. To all the people who say bananas are terrible, I say, you are aliens! That or the bananas outside Trinidad tastes horrible like the KFC. I could understand not liking plantain, but not bananas. Plantains are a staple of Trinidadian foods, but I Don't Like it. Too oily. But bananas, however, rock. Especially the small cheekytoe bananas.
               UP WITH BANANAS! DOWN WITH RED APPLES!
I could stand the green ones, but screw the red ones!

You may have not meant to, but it really came across as a personal attack. Look. it happens, and it's only one warning. We all have those days.

I think he was speaking more to a group of people, but yes. The way the message comes across is very attackish. is that a word?
Waiting for Jayde AKA the human dictionary to confirm or deny. Lol.

I think he was trying to rephrase my post according to the emotions it caused when reading.

I admit. That was pretty harsh on my part. Especially when I said don’t show your face on any platform. I did take that 1 step too far.

So, as both a consequence. And a chance for you to let off the steam. I will tell you a secret.

I didn’t finish reading the post before I started writing. I also didn’t take time to think what they were asking. I flew off the handle when I heard them say game will be banned soon. If I put topic up before the ban I can’t get a warning. Reminded me of post 4 in Sam’s leaving topic.

There you go. Let the corrections begin

go bananas!
I could do for an apple but I like bananas better. and anyone that dares to not like bananas will be destroyed by slipping on a banana peel! muahahhaha!

There I go running my mouth again, so I’m going to quickly follow that up with another post stating that I don’t play very many games anymore, so I’m just speaking the first thing that comes to my mind. I don’t bother to do research on anything, because I honestly don’t think it’s too big of a deal. All I’ve been hearing was the word clone being tossed everywhere in the short amount of time that I’m  actually able to go on the forum and look at what’s going on, so I’m making assumptions based off of what I’ve read. Also, someone please correct me if I’m wrong about scrolling battles pro. I do think it was cloned by somebody at one point.

As far as I know, SBP was never cloned.
The last version Mason made allows people to put up their own servers, so maybe that's why your getting confused.
After that, the rights were transferred to Charley by Mason, and Charley has since continued development by coming out with his own somewhat different version.
Either way it's a shitty game.

Thank you Defender for clarifying that for me.

So the oldest version of UltraPower with server list was something like 0.22 or something like that. Looking back at it, I probably should've just left it at that and not touched it again. It'd probably have been better for everyone's sanity. But no. So that version was a topdown style shooter with 4 or 5 weapons, you could run around and kill people and that was about it. It had a couple of interesting things, like I made a bot once upon a time that would target a player and chase after him and if you killed him you'd get something, a level or something, I don't really remember. But after that was version 1.0 through 1.1 I think where I was working on reducing lag, increasing stability, which I worked on until version 2.5 or something like that, where after that I started to make stupid decisions. The first was to make the game paid. And then 3 versions later, make it unpaid again. Which was a very common thing for me. But version 2.5 was the last 2D version of UP before the rewrite, and that version was kinda cool, as it had a map with a safe zone and a few other things. When version 4.0 was released, it was the first platforming version, and that whole version from 4.0 to 5.8 in my opinion was the best versions of UP, because it had the most things to do. With updates came things like the ability to build on the map, al be it kind of very messily, new voices, and just general stability improvements. Version 6.0 saw the rewrite of UP. This version attempted to take UP back to it's 2D days, and failed spectacularly. So when version 6.1 came around, it was converted back to platformer where it stayed until EOL. Version 7.0 saw the introduction of things that were all removed in 8.0. Titles, levels and a few other things. Version 8.0 was where the real mess started. The map system was converted to Sam's map system, and an inventory provided by Sam based on the STW inventory code was added. At the time this code had the permission of Sam to be used. So starting with version 9.0, Damien Blunderfield (Pendleton at the time), entered the project and planned to do a major reworking of the game's internals. This of course never happened. After version 9.1, X0 AKA Colton Hill entered the project. You can see how this is turning into a huge mess, right? Yeah. So a few versions later, I decided I didn't trust Colton and I didn't like the changes he had been making to the game. It had basically turned into a sounds playing, dev ruled ultra shit fest. So I removed him from the project to which he got angered by and threw the source to Ivan Soto and they planned to make their own version. But instead, Ivan Soto decided to leak the source code to the entire internet, causing the ultimate demise of the game and the beginning of the clones.

After this, there was a 2 or 3 year long battle of killing clones and banning clones, to which eventually I decided that I didn't really care about it anymore and so I just said, Sam if you really want to continue with this I'll just transfer the rights to you so you have full control.

Fastforward a year. I was frustrated at a time because I saw people just genuinly curious about games like UP and TK that just wanted to play and they had no idea of it's history or even about the clones and were being judged and treated harshly for it. I had the idea to host the official UP version with the server so people could do so without worrying or getting killed for playing a clone, and I'll admit I acted quickly and went back on my word which is a very stupid and shitty thing to do. I'd appologize but I know it'd fall on deaf ears, and the damage is already done.

But yeah, that's basically the history of UP in a nutshell.
