The developers behind ‘Needle In A Haystack’, which is a game that’s a clone of ‘Needle In A Haystack Simulator’, have accused another haystack clone of copying their code, as reported by Kotaku. ‘When we looked through [A Game About Needle In A Haystack’s] files, we found 13 of our classes inside it with the exact same names,’ said studio NoGlyph in post on Steam. ‘More than half of the functions in that part match ours exactly. Some of our own error messages are still in there word for word, including one that points to a shader from our project that doesn’t exist in their game.’ According to NoGlyph dev Jahvin on Discord, ‘A Game About Needle In A Haystack’ contains “same-name methods” that are “byte-for-byte identical” to their clone ‘Needle In A Haystack.’ It seems this new game had used Claude-assisted decompilation to take the code of NoGlyphs title and paste it into their own. #indiegame #gaming #pcgaming
