    I have no problem with developers using content from the UE marketplace. The source of the artwork is irrelevant really, it's how you use it and integrate it into your game play that counts.

    Given the differences in the images, it certainly looks like Snail "personalised" the store-bought artwork. 

    OTOH, perhaps the Snail artwork is NOT bought from the UE marketplace. Perhaps they just copied it... :D

    Or they both based it on some other source of inspiration. xD

    It makes me wonder if you've got something against that game, @Dragnelus :P

    I noticed you pulled up that ARK character creation screen the other day too, and went all "Look guys, they're copying ARK!" because the UI looked similar. >.> (Or at least I think it was you that made that thread)

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    Can't wait to play a dwarf, build and try out some magic (if dwarfs can use magic)

    So no :) Maybe after who knows :surprised:

    Naw they bough the pack.  There is a comment from the author which states snail games used it in DNL.

    Dwarves cant use magic. They can use axe though.
    Damn 100% sure about that?

    I have no idea when they bought/used it but on unreal, it says 27 july 2016, isnt that a bit short for making a whole city?

    Indeed....

    One wonders what exactly they've been doing with DnL all these years. Perhaps the Snail dev team only had 3 people assigned to it ? :D

    Anyone can also buy a ballpoint pen for much cheaper, but that doesn't mean anyone can be a great writer.

    Better a snails pace and come out with an awesome game than another cloned game where it's all rush to "endgame" and then do the same monsters over and over and over and over until your batteries die out.

    On another note, they're missing the sign that says, "No Elves allowed."

    Yeah, this game looks better and better the more that gets revealed....Remember people, its Snail games
