Revenge of the Fallen Official Trailer!
This has probably been mentioned somewhere before (I haven't paid much attention to all comments), but... Where is Beat? :(
A couple new additions
I'd like to make a case against blurring the background of that acid-trip area. It creates too stark a contrast next to the sharp nature of pixel-art... If anything, try not to blur it so much, or just leave the pixel version using a less distracting combination of colors. Link
Edit: That looks awesome. =)

Ready, Set, Donate!
The origin of the graphics is a genuine concern, but it worries me that from now on people won't be able to see anything Sion does without a price tag attached to it; Not being able to judge things based on their own merits is a problem... Also, his money is his to be spend however he wants. As long as the graphics are not actual rips, I don't find their resemblance so objectionable.
As for: "a bad name to the community" (Damn, that's harsh!) While I don't think anything Sion did was wrong-wrong, I do believe we can hold ourselves to better standards. So, again, let's talk about it, but let's take the discussion elsewhere.
Edit: It's all well, then. But I'm really going to follow my own advice and stop posting in this blog...

It's possible to be scathingly critical of someone while still wishing them the best. You've had parents, haven't you?
Critical, yes. "Scathingly" critical, I don't know... It all depends how far things are taken; Now it turns out Sion can't even post a screen in the screenshot topic without people bringing up the issue again. There's also an status on the subject. And something tells me it's going to be like that for some time... Give it a rest! He's already got his 5k and nothing you do will change that.
At least, stop throwing around words like: "thief" or "liar" so non-nonchalantly (Talking about petty exaggerations xD). Truth is, the only thing you sell in Kickstarter are promises, and people know this. At this point in time, when the whole internet has had this debate many times over, I refuse to believe anyone willingly giving away its money is being "robbed" or "lied to". And Sion doesn't owe anyone any explanations about that money. Specially to those who didn't donate (us). ...Just leave it to time and his conscience.
Don't like this kind of practices? Fine, let's have (yet another) discussion about Kickstarter projects. Let's change the site's policy so if a game starts a Kickstarter campaign it's hold to the same standards than commercial games, and it's required to fully disclose budget information if it wants the support of -this- community. THAT I could get behind of. THIS? It's gotten old already.

Ok, this is getting a little out of hand, don't you think? ...First of all, I don't know all the intricacies that constitute "False advertising" but I doubt it applies here. (And if it does it pretty much applies to every other Kickstarter campaign I've seen in this site) People who donate to Kickstarter know the risks they're taking with their money. Period.
Secondly, if Kickstarter doesn't care enough to police it's own site, or if companies don't care enough to protect their IPs, why should we? I mean, it's not like they're not aware this kind of thing happen all the time. They don't even have to sue anybody as far as I know. All they have to do is report the infringing material to the site that host it (Doesn't the DMCA cover that sort of stuff) or send a C&D letter to the infringing party. That would pretty much send anyone on a straight path.
I too find this kind of practice unsettling, but from a practical point of view how's this project different from any other on this site? It does not infringe OUR rules, and not one cent came out from OUR pockets, so what is it to us? ...If anything, we can amend our rules so this doesn't happen again. But railing against a single user or considering selling him out is even more unbecoming of us as a community than anything he has done, which may be too soon to judge anyway.
Edit: "Morals" are not the only consideration to have here...

Completed Ace revision and a new encounter system
Yes new demo plz k thx ...I've kinda been holding on feedback thinking on how much things may change between versions. ;P
Mission Mark: Nuclear Bomb
This game has in technical progress what it lacks in epicness. This monster should be called "Firecracker" and not "Nuclear Bomb".
A monster called Nuclear Bomb should deal you damage just by being in the same map as it because of the "intense heat", forcing you to wear map damage reduction armor and cast regen in battle. It should look like a blinding spot of light and take 1/4 of the screen (or start small and grow as you damage it). And it should laugh at your NullBlaze spells. :|
Edit: @Noel_Kreiss: I'm sorry, man. Did I step on your favorite game? =(
