Despite having the FAQ it seems like there's a real communication issue RE: The art style, as most of the places I've glanced have commented on how people are uncomfortable with the Prison Architect look being copied :<
Maybe Flash the message. Temporary Artwork, in big friendly letters on the screen before videos.

And then hope people don't mistake it for the studio.

Watch the video dude! I did this!

Yeah, I'm not even sure how you'd make it even more clear than it is already. But the mistake is still appearing frequently - even in the Rock Paper Shotgun article, all over the greenlight and youtube pages..

Clearly, the letters are neither big nor friendly enough.

Or people are just being dumb.

I got a $30 gift card recently that I was hoping to throw at this but it seems that it doesn't like being used outside the US.  Curse you, dark secretive world of prepaid gift cards! :P

I'll probably just see if there's any way to give it to my bank instead and then pay.   Must...get....pre-alpha...

It could be worth just quickly changing some of the sprites that look the most like PA, I think it's mostly the men that make the association so easy, I think :)

they look like Cyanide & Happiness characters, which BTW makes it cooler :3

Awwww man. I meant to get the prototype but accidentally bought the alpha instead. I'm so disappointed. I was looking forward to taking it for a spin, now I gotta wait months. :(

Judging from the support, I don't think the whole 'Prison Architect rip-off' concerns anyone.

I think i heard about him making the engine from the ground up while you can clearly see the similarity between prison architect and this game.

Dont get me wrong, i have nothing to say against that, i really like that engine and everything, i just hope 1. he doesnt get in trouble at a later date that will foreclose the game. 2. Well after the warZ fiasco.... when a company/guy/kickstarter tend to have just a wee-bit of inconsistency i tend to go all paranoid.

To reiterate, i hope it suceed and bring up the game to a successfull endeavior because to be honest, i saw a *fallout-ish* vibe to that game too and i love zanything that give that vibe :).

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?
