We'll let you know what they say about it and will respond accordingly. We decided to be preemptive as a sign of good faith and a generally very pleased customer at the Epic Marketplace.

"I've submitted a ticket raising the concerns of the community to Epic Customer Service and outlining the animation accusations. The developer has also contacted Epic Customer Service to echo the sentiments of the community. "The only other things from the Epic Marketplace that I use for generic VFX that was a waste of time to make since I'd make things that looked virtually the same anyway, and things that are so generic (like some rocks) that didn't require artistic direction." The marketplace was used to fill in generic art and was still edited to fit in the general needs of the art direction - about 10% of the total game art is from there.”Īnother developer known as ‘ubermensch42’ on the game’s Discord channel chimed in with their own explanation. “We're willing to rework things if there's something amiss going on in the marketplace but we've received no notification from Epic and we too are their customers. Any other question or concern should be taken up with Epic themselves.” “We've heard this comment before, but you can buy the animations yourself if you want as they are publicly available and have been for a long time. “Any animations not made in-house are from the Epic Marketplace and have been up there for years, rigged to an Epic Skeleton,” said one of the developers known as Rola on the Steam Forums recently. They claimed the assets were purchased from the Unreal Engine Marketplace for "animations that are good and fit our theme". 9JHGMeu9asĭevelopers Archangel Studio have responded to the allegations on the Steam Forums and on Discord.
#Is bleak faith forsaken ps4 software#
I do NOT condone people using my DS Anim Studio software to aid in exporting animations to include in commercial products or sell them on Epic Games Store.

Bleak Faith: Forspoken is 100% using animations ripped directly 1:1 from Elden Ring. Rather than taking inspiration from FromSoftware titles, they appear to have been extracted straight from the game using the DSAnimStudio software, and then subtly tweaked. While many games have used animations that are inspired by other games, such as Genshin Impact's similarities to Nier Automata, these appear to be in a distinct category. One character has been compared to Malenia and the Abyss Watchers. Comparisons have been made between Bleak Faith’s claymore attack animation and Elden Ring’s uchigatana and straight sword.
