>guy starts developing a Hotline Miami fangame called Midnight Animal

>just straight up traces Persona artwork and puts it into the game
>/v/ has a laugh with it for a while
>now this
Wish I'd saved the collages of all his stolen artwork back when there were still threads about this.

>>388110927
Oh wait the guy who traced Persona assets because his gf broke up with him?
Well shit I forgot. Anyone got the proof of the tracing, don't have it on me anymore.

>>388110979
Oh wow what a fag, did he think nobody would notice?

Spencer Yan was creating a free standalone mod acting as an unofficial Hotline Miami 3, which got greenlit. Midway through development, likely after his girlfriend leaving him, Spencer changes the game entirely to a Persona life sim with HM elements. After backlash from the community, some anons saw that he had been tracing assets from Persona, leading to another huge shitstorm that culminated in Spencer going into radio silence. Now we have this.

>>388110979
Shit like this shows how much of a shut-in and self absorbed/out of touch with reality people can be that they thought they could get away with this.

It's honestly fucking astounding.

>>388111085
He admitted that he didn't trace it, but looked at the art and copied it.
In his mind that wasn't stealing

>>388111172
>He admitted that he didn't trace it, but looked at the art and copied it.

What fucking difference does it make when the result is the same?

there is quite a difference from the skill and effort involved but you're right it's still very obvious plagiarism

>>388110473
inb4 it gets leaked in less than in an hour, if it doesn't than that just means he doesn't have any friends

>>388111657
>there is quite a difference from the skill and effort involved

That's beside the point, like you said plagiarism is plagiarism. And copying someone else's work is going to do very little to improve as an artist anyway, and most definitely should never be used in anything other than personal sketches let alone a game that was going to be released to the public.

Reminds me of Project Goliath plagiarism.

>Personas are A Story of Love and Forgetting‘s interpretation of the mask system from Hotline Miami, and they serve somewhat similar functions. Canonically, they’re inherited from the similarly-named Persona series, where they represent psychic fragments of the collective human unconscious. In A Story of Love and Forgetting, they represent roughly the same thing, except rather than serving as fragments of a collective unconscious, they serve specifically as the remnants of individual people who are found and functionally absorbed into the personality of the player character, John. I’ll discuss the details of this more in terms of the meaning behind it in my next entry, which will discuss the story and themes.

>The player unlocks personas by first finding an artefact left behind by the person who owns the persona. These artefacts are referred to in-game as mementos, and can take the form of anything from old photographs to former possessions to even fragments of conversation overheard from others about them. After they are found, these mementos are brought to a certain location where a certain individual will be able to ‘process’ them, and awaken the personas from the mementos. The ability to awaken personas is tied to John’s understanding of the world around him; this is based on the strength of his connections to others.

His earlier dev blog posts are from May and I think the threads took off around the time or a bit after those were posted, so I'd guess it's brobably something like that.

I'm very glad that it's cancelled, because now he can release his persona fan game and not have it be tied to Hotline Miami.
Plus, we'll never have to deal with his fucking lackey Ash Davis again, which is a plus.

last one I can find, there was something with the gun UI matching Hitman 2016, and the level from the vids was ripped off from some game map
>>388112941
Depression induced autism

>It's an exegesis of himself
So it's confirmed the MC was literally just Spencer's self-insert?

>>388113071
Honestly I can write off the Hitman level design as coincidence but everything else was obviously stolen.

I guess someone has to be the new cleve.

>>388112565
Hopefully him, Ash, Boxcar, and Lenny all Jim Jones it with a pool of koolaid

Surely, a noble soul will arise that will keep """""""being inspired by""""""" Persona 5 in place of Spencer.
