Good lord dude you are a dev monster :p you should make a career of making better versions of asset flips.

Also I was really confused for a bit watching the gameplay thinking "Huh, that looks a lot worse than it should" before realising that this is actually the build I uploaded public and not the recode I made for my own personal use. Big old RIP, I should update that download link with my smoother animations version!

@@IcyCaress even if it isn't the recoded version, the game looks visually appealing and the map has much more to look at than Jao's game.

Please do upload the recode of the game! I may have lost the original due to upgrading my computers harddrive and would lpve to play it again! I enjoyed being able to mess with the size of the dragons and make them ungodly huge c:

@@ShyRukia i still have the original.

I commend you for sticking with it, I went with the first wave three days before the Kickstarter closed. Didn’t pull my money, which I sorely regret, but I’ll certainly yell about how stupid this all is from the rooftops

@@RobertEetheart I wish I knew who or what that was 😂

lol...

just saw the page, it looks good. though i dont like the humanoid dragon species as i prefer a only "dragon" game. hopefully it gets funded.

Just took a look, seems really good. I'll be recommending the game to other fans

Do not look up draconia, look up emberfalls.

@@SolitaryWendigo Both? Both. Both is good. I've heard of Emberfall as well, but the complete lack of singleplayer mode (Unlike in Draconia, which will have both) makes it less interesting for me.

BastetDrake draconia is getting a lot of flack rn.

What Dev team... the game has shown NO real progress since its first showed up on Anth's channel, Jao is soloing this bitch(scam) and pocketing HALF A MILLION DOLLARS for his efforts.

@@darkhowling6425 well that is just not true it recieving regular updates. Just last week Ai was added with ability to attack and other things. Plus tons of bug fixes. I dont play the game a buddy of kine does, but if Ai can attack it already has more complex Ai system than another similar game The Isle and that has been our 4 years now.

@@frostbitemn7395 Clearly you havent played the isle... The AI has been able to attack for a REALLY long time. ask anyone who has died to a velo as a baby. Velociraptor is not a regularly selectable class, it spawns as AI and its hunted me down as a baby utah a lot of times.

@@frostbitemn7395 Don't be this ignorant.

I don't think it's a real team It's his lackies maybe even IRL friends who are getting a cut Because there's no way on earth that any of than money is going into the game

lol..

update: they removed it cause its not "promotional"

@@Zanta100 That kinda sux

@@Zanta100 jk im not on jao's cult discord servers

i have to completely agree. even the discord they use for official announcements has been 90% bad mouthing and trash talk against IGP/ICCaress/SidAlpha; let me explain, a discord used for the sole purpose of informing your client base of game addistions, progressions, and general news, has been limited to nothing but negative heresay and trash talk. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and wait and see; as i have, it has sunk to less than 25ppl per day (TOTAL PEOPLE ACROSS ALL SERVERS), and is now excessively taboo to discuss the things you mentioned initially started the ban happy trend by jao. If anyone doesnt believe the accuracy of the above statement, i strongly suggest you go to their discord ONLY to read the updates and announcements. Anyone with a reading comprehension above a 2nd grader will undoubtedly see what was mentioned above. Fucking disgusting behaviour from Jao.

@crzy J I certainly hope so. I hope he loses all future sales of the game. And honestly he should be charged with fraud at this point.

i wonder how many comments jao will mark as inappropriate or spam off this video lol

I prefer Day of Dumbasses

Day of deadbeats

Dirt of Devs

Years ago, this exact song and dance happened before. Some different vaporware dragon game that was designed around the concept of playing a human to build a castle, a dragon to build your treasure hoard, or a spider to build your nest/swarm. Same type of defenders here, backers who were desperate to see it finished, a developer who did barely anything and kept lying about it, and then the whole thing quietly disappeared in a puff of logic after making a shit ton of money.

Not to mention the Stomping Lands and Mesozoica

LMAO

you toke the words right out of my mouth :)) down with this trash dev ....

So asking questions is now considered starting rumors... seems legit lmao!

Lmao I wanna get in this trashy discord

What was the question?

Honestly, you did good. I would have said far worse things to Jao.

Crab in A Top Hat no you’re not you’re just some kid who took a photo of the internet reverse search that image nice try

@Crab in A Top Hat That make me almost choke. XD But, I think he was referring to the OP, tho.

Nah, definitely not the only one who caught that :P

i um... oh..... OH!

Lol no there are a LOT of us who get it.

To be fair I'd say dragons more have claws than paws. But yea, so far no one's really made a dragon game that's really good. Closest thing I think was Drakengard, but that's an older game.

Unfortunately, I too caught this.

It's f*****g asset flipped!

WHERE’S THE SOURCE CODE!!!

It's RAW!

It’s absolutely terrifying, terrifying, you call THIS a game?!?!?!

WHAT ARE YOU [Jao]? A Dirty Dev. A DIRTY DEV WHAT? A Dirty Dev, Chef Ramsey.

Jao and his supporters are really big piles of 💩

@@metalc.s3170 took the words right out of my mouth lol 😂

I think it’s less he turned them and that he attracted this sort crowd, kind of like how YandereDev did. I’d imagine some of it has to do with portraying himself and a near one man team working on a passion project, alongside attracting the furry crowd and those who just want dragon based games that aren’t Spyro.

Dude you ae saying this on a guy who has a four part series on this. Sems to me Jao isnt the obsessed one

@@frostbitemn7395 You're here too. It's funny watching grown men act like children, just saying. I'll laugh my ass off, idgaf.

Due to things like Jim Sterling's lawsuit, the recent Sargon lawsuit, and the older H3H3 suit Jao would lose horribly.

@@Andulvar Yeah, the public has seen too many cases of DMCA abuse. Jao has nothing to stand on, the second he would get brought in to court and gave his defense the Judge would just end it right then and there

Jao be like: "Take him to the infirmary he's delusional"

its the whole freakin landfill on nuclear fire

Nah, at this point it’s a singularity of dumpster fire, dragging and burning anything it can.

Jao had integrity?

So never?

Just be glad you are not too late to crawl back to real world and haven't join their oxygen waster cult.

Well if the stuff is not fulfilled will you not be entitled for a refund?

Pity. Two other upcoming dragon games could have used that support. I hope you bounce back from the loss.

Glad you didnt give him any money.

@@Caffeine_K9 Yeah, a friend of mine played it and bought it for me randomly. I didn't know anything at the time of install and looking into the game so the window for a refund closed before I realized how horrible the dev was.

Just out of curiosity, what kinda game were you thinking of developing?

Step 1:Go over everything Jao did/does Step 2:Make noted of it all Step 3:Do the exact opposite Step 4:Profit

I remember there's a flash game that I played when I was little, I think it was called "How to Raise a Dragon" or something similar, that was pretty good. Check it out if you can, I remember it being fun. It's not MUCH of a game (it IS a 2000s flash game), but hell, it's better than Day of Dragons and has multiple endings and options available for the player.

@@Gamerfalcon Thanks. I'll look into it.

There’s a text game called Choice of the Dragon, a flash game were you got to pick you’re element and alignment and Lair.

Several exist already. Look into it.

Late Afternoon of Dragons.

Noon of Dragons

Twilight of Dragons

Worked through lunch and having an early dinner of dragons.

Without being savvy on law, my hunch is odds are Sid's keeping his cards close to his chest, lawsuit wise. So, I'd throw a comparison to Jim Sterling's lawsuit and say that it'd more realistically be kept "cold", unless a viable case is there. And unlike Jim, odds are Sid Alpha will not have as much mercy when it comes to pursuing charges. That said, if he DOES do a Lawsuit, it'd likely be probably kept hidden? Until the case is closed, then he'd make a video. But until then, it'd be a statement made, and less video's in the short term, for however long a lawsuit lasts.

I'm already hyped for maneater but now i want them to make a dragon game :/

It means sort the f@$% down and shut the h@!! Up. If people read to much into it its because they could not think of anything else

Sit down* stupid auto correct

looks like another hardcoeded ban =/

Which is against Steam TOS. How hasn't DoD been kicked off the platform yet? Especially as the "dev" outright denies these hardcoded bans (which have been proven with hard evidence to exist).

If you hard coded banned as well. Open up the game files and see If your steam ID is in the game. That is then another Hard code ban. That's a third validation of Steam TOS

Still having big regrets, but at least my tax return is giving me something back

Wendys. Expect they actually have a product

cough EA cough Activision Cough Ubisoft cough

I believe, when the Kickstarter launched, no, he did not have a company, or something to that affect. I remember on another video that he actually lost a good portion of the Kickstarter funds, like 10 or 20 percent of them, to personal taxes!

@@noone-gh4dw Holy fuck it jumped up that much since I clicked on? DEFINITELY Jao and his team, then.

its not realy hard to do. all you need is the engine and assets. then put them together with the help of manuals that you can find everywhere on the internet and you can make a bare bones game in less than a month.

@@poundsofslothcigars Yeah. Quartering did a video on it. Some stuff was removed and others have been mass flagged for demonitisation.

@@D_Abellus i think that was already fixed a few days ago from youtube

Lmao

bro same?? dragonvale is hype

@Urazz At least I get what is essentially his 3-section academic paper about an incident. Something I don't normally see from media journalists in 20 years.

Well... Technically Sid's channel is more about promoting awareness and covering important topic's within the Video Games Industry (at least that's how i've seen it the last few years), it's just that "The Dirty Dev's List" has become more of his bread n' butter of late. Plus it's *very* entertaining watching the pitiful justifications of dev's who simply want to release a "cash grab". He does such a good thorough job with research on topics, professional manner within his videos and the level of critique itself that he's got recognition from dev's, Valve, Epic and a ton of other people within the industry... Hell i wouldn't be surprised if KZfaq actually recognized him by name whenever he brings an issue up XD.

Hard to let it go anyway, when Jao keeps stirring the drama pot up himself.

Actually, no; the channel was once a game reviews channel...

@creapsmantic Check SidAlpha's Dirty Devs series on Day of Dragons/Jao, or the Day of Scams website which has most of the information surrounding Jao. This is a different dev altogether and is not Digital Homicide (although Jim Sterling has recently made a new video about Digital Homicide reappearing).

NR is from a different country I'm pretty sure, terms and phrases tend to mean different things depending on nationalities. I thought he meant sit down and shut up when I saw it as well, never thought of it in relation to a Pirate movie.

the world is bigger than USA and the movie PotC, there are so many sayings that means the same, and so many sayings that is the same but have multiple meanings, as Sid said, only he who said it knows what he meant about it, people can interpret it as much as they like, but it will only be the one who said it that holds the truth of it.

Yes, the world is bigger than the US, but all my searching does not find alternate meanings for both "short drop and sudden stop" as well as "quick drop and sudden stop", the latter of which being the only alternate version of the phrase I could find, which also denoted that it could mean a fall from a high place. I would be happy to see a source that says it means "sit down and shut up" or anything else aside from references to death, if you would be so kind as to provide such a thing for me.

This is a very tricky one indeed. Especially since the meaning of "Sit down and shut up" is actually rather new (honestly couldn't find it on the internet either however upon asking a small group of friends I have around the world I found about 1 in 5 had heard it to mean this, sadly not enough data to know if it is a cultural thing or so new it goes beyond that). The reason we didn't know it ever meant that is because we are all much more use to it meaning "To be hung by the neck until dead", WHICH is the "proper" meaning for that saying. HOWEVER... language is fluid, ever changing, and one thing I have noticed is the same goes for sayings. I have said a thing or two thinking it meant something that those around me didn't. This does lead to one more thing to think about though. No matter what the saying means, if you say it to yourself and it in any way sounds like a threat, then don't say it.

@@hansvonheileger5791 The dude was getting harassed. At the end of the day, all he wanted was for the harassment to stop and they expressed that using that phrase. In the context it was used, I personally interpreted it as "leave me alone". As you said, language is fluid. I don't see why this is a big deal, people seem to be focusing on this and ignoring that the guy was getting harassed by a fan base and by a team of developers. Which is much WORSE than a slip of the tongue. Jao has certainly heard much much worse from disgruntled backers.

He wont. He threatened something similar against IGP and Icycaress and they called him on it. Jao didn't file ANYTHING.

Actually he could sue for defamation and lost revenue if he can prove the videos claims are false. IF

@@chrisward4410 Not that simple. Not only does he have to prove the statements were false, he has to prove they were intentionally false and made for the purposes of damaging him on purpose. He also has to show damages, in order to be awarded anything more than the single dollar that people are entitled to as a matter of law.

@Starfox365 Well if he does I hope there will be a musical titled "Eat Shit Jao"

All games use assets bought from 3rd party creators. Who cares if he outsourced all assets and even programming? He has the mandate from his donators to produce a product. Doesnt matter how he uses those resources to accomplish it.

You would ban people like this content creator who are actively bad mouthing your game still in production.

@@SnuggLeona with all respect, from the evidence we have until now my comment is true

@@SnuggLeona and no of course i wouldnt ban people like me if i were him, i expressed my thoughts and i would accept that if another person did that with a game i developed

@@SnuggLeona I feel like you didn't watch the video, JAO threatened legal action on people who criticized him and just silenced everyone else who had a even remotely dissenting opinion. 1: Problem is he tried to pursue legal action for someone else using the assets he doesn't even own 2: It doesn't matter if the game is still in production, JAO states things like how he has complete tolerance but silences any criticism NOT TO MENTION the fact that pretty much nobody criticizes the gameplay itself but how poorly everything is handled outside the actual state of the game. 3: He is literally in violation of stream regulations and is toeing the line (if not already) of being in violation of DMCA laws 4: It is immature and ridiculous to silence fair and professional criticism, yet JAO does it all the same, from anyone

I would rather have Icy's Dawn of Dragons as well. Icy is pretty cool in my book

@@brandonfulstone7628 Not to mention it took icey like.. what.. 3 days to make that? Jao claimed his version had been in the works for years.

Better to find one close by.

exactly. Having problems compiling for Linux? Install a Linux compiler.

@@TemplarsWildFire UE4 you can compile for both within 2 minutes, theres a guide provided for us devs lol its simple

The only reasonable thing I can think of is rather simple....they are backers of the game who flat out don't want to admit they have been scammed. It's not a good feeling for anyone who has been taken advantage of in this way. All the other defenders in the comments, are likely Jao himself, because we know he doesn't spend any actual time working on the game.

As a backer I was originally scared when the first video was published, but after the raids stopped and progress was being made in the game everything calmed down enough to get back on track. Personally I still have a very small fraction of doubt for the game, but a plethora of evidence and content has proven otherwise. I don't feel that I was being taken advantage of. Since my financial standing is in good condition I had extra cash that I decided to throw at the game. Even if I didn't get it back I wouldn't care. Its just money.

It's porn. I get that SA is too polite to say it but they are just defensive about their ERP fetish game. Some people fetishize dragons and get very, VERY weird about it.

@@Redwolfless I would question what this evidence is, the exact evidence, the physical kind I can look at. Link it, show me. All indications are that this is still a bunch of store bought assets, nothing original and absolutely no game play has been programmed. It's just an empty sandbox that would barely qualify to be called a tech demo, it's not even a game. I see no reason to be so blindly optimistic, except perhaps being delusional or in denial.

@@Redwolfless So, I'm going to assume since it has been a whole day since I asked for it and you have not replied that the "plethora of evidence" you referred to doesn't in fact exist.

I played the PaD(play as a dino) mod. It's fun

Wasn't this actually announced as an official DLC at one point? Primal something?

Heh, there's no law that says servers need to be Linux. It's totally viable to make the server package for windows too, and use window server services to run them. EDIT: I mean, I agree with you, Jao is just full of shit.

@@janikarkkainen3904 I know... I am a server administrator :P (used to do Windows.. now do Linux) Just commenting on the "dev"s comments at about 4:31 where they stated they "had" to make a Linux Server rather than their "pre-existing" (taking their word here) windows one and just pointing out an example of a game that only offers a windows server package and does quite well and has several 3rd parties offering servers for it for people to run.

@@fatrobin72 Ah, sorry for the wording, I was actually agreeing with you and kinda answering to the claim Jao made on the video. My bad!

I'd argue that the amount of footage Sid used was necessary to drive home just how empty and pointless the game is. Was it a lot of footage? Sure. But it matches how vast, yet empty the landscape is. And that's assuming gameplay footage itself isn't inherently Fair Use. Gameplay is transformative by nature, since you're not just displaying game assets, but also your unique playthrough.

@@Greywander87 Where the line is on that is about as unclear as it can be. I can tell you this, its not "lets plays = fair use". Nintendo's content ID claiming held up legally, as did their "creators program", as have their content claims on gameplay since the creators program shut down. I think the real thing here is that no one has challenged it in court in a trial. What few lawsuits have been made public have self-destructed before trial. It will eventually be part of case law, not actual legal code. I think you have two extremes here. You have games like minecraft or mario maker where your personal gameplay is the only reason people are watching and you have no-commentary lets plays of games like outlast or resident evil 7 where people are only watching it for the story and your gameplay is utterly irrelevant. I think one is clearly fair use and one is clearly not. Anyway, it doesn't matter because for these asset dogpiles, I literally don't think their game is transformative with respect to the assets they put into their particular dogpile. One thing people might not understand is that when people license an asset like the dragon in day of dragons, its not just a graphical asset. Its basically an entire playable character with models and animations and code controlling it and the licensee does nothing except stick it in an environment asset pack which also had models and terrain generation and collision boxes and code for interaction with entities. I would bet that Jao has written less than 500 lines of code, most of which were copy-pasted from tutorials and forums. I've written throw-away projects just to test an idea that were several thousand lines of code.

There's another dragon game coming out which is run by actually experienced devs, called emberfall! Check it out and stay hyped my man :")

My favorite part is when HE made the announcement that Jao left the Discord and started this whole new life thing. It's very creepy and disturbing honestly, even when trolling I've never gone to the lengths of trying to be a different person... it's so weird

@@andrewmeyer3599 Right! I mean, I've been gaming for well nigh 30 years now, and I've done some browsing on forums and stuff for some games...mainly WoW...but all this new online stuff with Discord and Reddit just blows my mind. How, or more importantly, WHY do people still think in this day and age of electronic data that anything they do will not eventually come back to haunt them in some form!? That right there is the entire reason I pretty much stopped posting anything online unless it was a post intended to see who I could trigger in a humorous way. But Jao...he does it because he is 100% ignorant to the fact that what he is doing is that absolute WORST thing that he could actually do in these cases!
