The Beta

[Robinson3938]

Now I don't mean to complain, but I recall the game was supposed to have an open beta in December of 2011 but was delayed about 2 months before it happened because Skyrim and Skyward Sword came out. Now I understand you guys are very busy and I appreciate the hard work you are doing. I just can't help but wonder why if the game was so close to beta in late 2011, what happened?

1) The entire coding system was changed, everything needed to be rewritten.
2) A lack of good pixel artists caused the process of creating PU to slow down really hard. We have a few good ones now.
3) a new dialog-, quest- and NPC-system was written.

We want to give you guys a great product to play with, not just a crappy version of pokémon like pokémon crater etc. This takes time so be patient. You might recieve info on what we have done and will be doing in the future sooner than expected.

I thought maybe copywrite , was in the way. Is PU protected from getting shut down instantly by gamefreak ,or who ever does that sort of thing? I know a little of topic ,but I am really wondering.

Since we're doing all sprites, tilesets, and coding by ourselves they can't sue us for completely copying the game since everything is made by PU's own artists and writers.

Yea they are doing EVERYTHING from scratch. They aren't copy and pasting anything from other games onto this one. Also they aren't charging people to play....Which is a huge thing that would get most if they did without consent and proper licsense agreement or w/e from Gamefreak etc etc etc..

have you guys had a lawyer check that, (or at least looked closely at the copyright laws yourself?) because I would hate for you to do all this work only to have it shut down.
