Today is the worst day of my life. :(

I mean WOW. How you are not ashamed of yourself that you steal other people’s games and upload them as yours?!
You stole 4 of our games, those were taken down. One of them was a copy of Bottle On Head, who’s predecessor was a flash game which we made back in 2013, and published that year in March!!!
Here you can see the game:

We reworked the flash version to html5 and published in 2015. Unfortunately the code was not obfuscated just minified, and from the 8 games you stole just that 4 which was just minified (the other 4 was obfuscated because it is a Game Maker Studio game). You blatantly painted over the logos, and put the image atlas in a Photoshop project to claim as you made them…
Although the graphics were originally made with Inkscape vector graphics program, and we have every single piece of art separately!

Here are the 4 original games which you ripped off:
Foxy Blocks, Bottle On Head, Steal The Chips, Ten Basket
http://icedevel.com/

Also I would like to mention that I found you just because SlideMe Android Market rejected my app, because some of your costumers bought it and uploaded there, and told me that the game is already on their marketplace. So you are making damage not just to us, but to your customers too kid…
We make games for more than 3 years now, published more than 20 titles (flash and html5), so I would just shut the f.ck up in your place and consider yourself happy you got away with the money you earned by stealing!
edit: Sending fake counter DMCA’s is a crime just like stealing!

Ok, and now question to Envato staff. Why this “author” is not banned from this marketplace yet???

What a twist

That’s a good question. As some developers did some investigation on http://www.html5gamedevs.com/ forum, all other 6-7 games are probably ripoffs too. Someone mentioned that the original creators are warned, so more DMCA’s will probably come too and finally he will be banned.
This is what a user found:
Green Monsters == Hellboy: Fist of Doom, Alex Ogle
Eighteen Pieces == This Shell, Legwork Studio
Bubbles == Crazy Gems, Bushido Games
Scroller - A Portfolio Page == Victoria Nine http://orion9.net/iW...ork/#!/With/You
Brain Improving Game == Animory, Bushido Games
Grey Asteroid == Apophis 2029, Shannon Larratt
23 Sliders - Mega Pack == Various eg. Elastislide, iView Slider

Wow! What a shame! The plot thickens :joy_cat:

It seems like you didn’t tell the whole story @UDX
I visited your CodeCanyon portfolio once (one month or two ago) and I played that game through live preview, now the game itself was uploaded to newgrounds.com almost 3 years ago and you don’t have even the 1 year membership badge!, @UDX how do explain this situation?

"He hit me and cried, he raced me to complain"

Oh and one more thing @UDX. We have all the source project files, not crappy Photoshop imported over-painted png atlases… All the editable vector graphics Inkscape project files are archived, and our games are all over the internet on many places with timestamps and proper credits screens, so good luck with the counter DMCA. I hope @UDX will be banned.

Banned? You should sue him.

Why your theme http://themeforest.net/item/aline-dental-treatment-html5-template/12702901 that is still a stolen awwward wining website http://www.awwwards.com/web-design-awards/l-avenir-dental-clinic is accepted again on TF? It was taken down via DMCA notice.

Maybe I will, but the kid is from Pakistan so I don’t put too much hope in it. I will be happy if he will be banned, and his fraudulent activities will be stopped.

Damn OP, today IS your worst day.

Someone got banned. Thanks Envato!
And please, rethink your strategy about banning. I mean he should have been banned right after first take down of that rip off HTML template. There is NO excuse for such thing!

Can’t tell if people are getting too impudent or too naive…

I knew that Hellboy thing wasn’t his game, glad he’s finally been caught out. Hope he gets banned from the site and they should send his frozen funds to the real authors.

Interesting spice to this story is that when I called him out that he downloaded the games, he tried to prove his ownership with a screenshot taken in Chrome with the console log opened. In the URL bar the piece of the url pointed to his Downloads folder. Something like:
file:////C:users/usama/Downloads/game1… something…
So the kid just busted himself.

I’d have sleepless nights with a font size of 109.604%. What’s wrong with 110%?!

I don’t know :smiley:
That is not my game, I’m innocent in that subject :smiley:
That’s one of the other stolen game.

OMG! I saw this one! (the original theme) http://avenirclinic.com/ I saw this this, and I thought wow, what a great theme and now I see the original website! It was the same design and animaiton. A very very obvious copy!

Man, its really the worst day of your life.
