Hey guys!

You've probably seen that there's a game in development called "Salvation Prophecy". I had a quick look at it and noticed something quite interesting...
See for yourself:

The station, as well as (apparently) one of the fighters look quite similar to the station in Evochron Mercenary and the Vonary capital ship in Arvoch Alliance.
Is that just a coincidence? Did they actually steal from Evochron Mercenary/Arvoch Alliance?

If anyone is interested in my sources, here they are (except for my own screenies of course;) ):

What do you guys think about that?

Creators of space ships, planets, stations, etc etc sell/license their designs to lots of people who create the games we play. You may see items in different games that look like ones in other games due to that fact.

Ok, so this is more something cool than bad

nice to share with other creators, then they dont have to rebuild all stuff and can focus on gaming core.. in other hand they could make a little transformations to original design then we dont get confused as gamers..

"oh wait i'm in the wrong game !!" lol

It is already hard enough trying to figure out if your dreaming or awake and which is real and what reality you are relatively in at each given moment!.......

I knew that there was something like a "pool" for sounds, where everyone can pick one and use it for their games/films/whatevers. For example the wilhelm scream is quite popular.
But I didn't actually know that the same thing also exists for designs. ^^

Well, it seems like everything's just fine after all

This is from a game called Dangerous by Binary Helix. Again the same space station.

Looks like from all the games we've seen here that all use the same stations, we sure picked the one with the best graphics!
