Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

I'm considering upping my donation to one with the shirts, but I'm assuming the period to get the Test Subject t-shirt has long since ended?
 
Zone isn't going to do that. I remember Mike asking very nicely on stream for Zone not to do that.
Well, to be more specific, Mike didn't ask me not to do that, I asked him if he wanted it to help promote the campaign and he said no thanks!

I've been hearing a lot of people saying that I've been banned from making porn of L0 characters since I became a contractor but that's not true. I've never been told that I was not allowed to make porn of anything related to L0, I just choose not to out of respect now that I'm doing official work for them.
 
I'm not comparing it to other recent anime, I can't considering I haven't watched any recent anime other than a small amount of JJBA, I just hate the style. If it was done in the Indivisible art style, I wouldn't have a problem with Trigger animating it.
Ah that makes more sense. Well to one his own. I love both styles honestly

So is it disrespectful to make porn if you are working under them?

Much respect, considering your field lol. Glad you can contribute your animation skill to making the games great

The campaign still has it listed for the $125 tier and up (Except the new-ish $350 tier for some reason); does anybody know when it ended?

They were already kind enough to hire me despite me having made porn of their game, which caught them some flak from the media so I don't want to flare that up any more than I have to. They get plenty of criticism about the sexualization of their female characters that me also making porn of them on a regular basis surely wouldn't help.

When I wasn't hired by them it had no actual effect on their reputation.

I see. That makes sense. Not the place to discuss this, but I will say I hate this demonization of sexual content...as someone who wants to make porn myself AND become a video game designer.

But I understand where you are coming from. Guess my morals differ, but I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for being such a helpful part of lab zero :)

Anyway, seems like we are most likely going to meet the first stretch goal!
 
This is soooo nice to have written down somewhere I can link to. I've heard so many complaints of people saying "ZONE only got hired because he made porn for them."
I was hired because I took the animation test and passed, just like every other animation contractor. I wasn't hired due to the Filia flash although they were nice to me about it, which is what made me decide to take the test in the first place.
 
People just want to complain for the sake of complaining. I was reading the newest Indivisible article on Siliconera, and some guy literally accused Lab Zero of "quietly plugging the rest of the money the crowdfund needed to succeed instead of accepting that not enough people want their game." and there's more! "Not even going to go into how the gameplay is nowhere near as good as its obvious inspiration or the sjw agenda it pushes with "muh diversity" being firmly lodged in indian "culture", this is an obvious conflict of interest that should not be allowed to go on."

Z0NE draws porn as part of their job, and lots of people on the internet consume that porn, so why the heck they start talking behind Z0NE's back? I'm glad they are working with L0 to be honest.

No, I agree, I hate that too but no one at L0 ever criticized me for it. I'm just trying to make the right decision here, objectively.

There are plenty of other girls who I can draw naked anyway!

And I totally respect your decision.
 
consume
....a rather ill fated word to use in this sentence...

While I'm one of those people that isn't much of a fan of what Zone does, what's been said does give me more respect for what Zone does.
though I'll admit, I really liked the Starfire one...
 
In the end, it all chalks down to the definition of Rule 34.
The problem is that many people can forget on sleight the exact wording of said definition.

If someone creates content, even if it's free, people consume it, so, unless I'm using the word "consume" wrong (yes, I'm an English teacher, but I've NEVER been at the US or even the UK; I studied the language by myself since I was 8 years old, but you never stop learning!), I don't know what you mean by ill fated.

Haters will always hate, no matter what you do, and L0 is no exception, but hey, even when those haters bark really loud, the people who actually enjoy and support L0's work won't be intimidated by those guys.

Late response but congrats everyone! I know we're all so excited for this, I can't wait to see all the places we're going to go and all the experiences that'll be had with Indivisible.

*edit: Zone loving that you're here talking to people and even clearing stuff up! It's so great to see you on his project, I think no matter what type of art form you're making, it's amazing.

Confirming this, and thanks again. :^) You did some really awesome stuff, too, the Rocket v1 and 2 AND the Mario World thing EEEEeeeeeee~ (and let's never forget the Big Band one).

Zone draws naked people by choice, and though I'm not Zone I would guess that the choice to do that is probably aided somewhat by the fact that porn is an incredibly lucrative and powerful industry. Zone also draws and animates WELL, and exceptionally quickly, which has nothing to do with what they are drawing or animating. Zone is a talented artist, which is a separate thing from what they choose to do with their time. We are lucky to be able to make use of Zone's skills, and indeed would not have been able to complete the Indivisible prototype on time without them, and I for one am happy to judge an artist by their art rather than by their subject matter.

I like how you had to really strain yourself to avoid using a single pronoun.

Wow people are stupid. Reported it.
Damn straight. Did you see the tool accusing Congress of banning "research" into gun violence? They obviously don't actually want research.
 
I was half expecting people to start signing it as a joke. Then again, this place values appearances...
 
Love Them still being bitter about Skullgirls and the psudo racial slur.
