Its Not Cool To Steal Boys & Girls!

Although this has disappeared, It will gladly reposted.

Take it from us kids, stealing, like copying work that isnt yours is BAAAD.
Why even lawsuits can occur, or even worse, social humiliation when caught cheating or stealing.
This goes for everybody, even young mid teens that even happen to live alll the waaaay over in the UK.

Lesson learned today boys and girls?
Stealing is wrong! Do the right thing and give credit where credit is due, if you can't do that then this work is not cut out for you!

This has been your local public service announcement from The Studios.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled boring programming.

[Press Release] MidKnight Named as Creative Director of Development with the Aluna Games Brand!

2011-02-01T13:58:00.000-08:00

Gaming Season Officially Opens; Michael MidKnight Signs On with Aluna Games

We are delighted to welcome Michael MidKnight to our growing team of business development staff! Having worked with other game development teams and a variety of indie game projects, Michael is well educated on what you, as casual, passionate and hard-core gamers really want. Please welcome MidKnight as our new Creative Director of Development!
MidKnight says:

Quote:

“I am definitely honored to be named as part of the Aluna Games brand. Working closely with them (Aluna Games) with the new launch of the site was definitely a great endeavor, and to be able to give back the gaming community on a much larger scale then just in design form is just a great feeling. To see the work being enjoyed by such a huge community is very humbling feeling.

I stayed up late for days figuring out SMB3 [Super Mario Bros 3] as a kid, hours timing jumps in the Megaman series, even went out on all kinds of missions on PSO [Phantasy Star Online], and now in what seems like a very short time I will have a hand in what thousands of users will have a hand in playing, enjoying, and ultimately remembering in this generation of gaming with Aluna Games.

Thats just a very cool thought.

I hope to bring back that era and style of gaming, and be able to reconnect people to what I grew up with. I look forward to bringing the real fun of gaming back into the forefront. Game On Everyone!"

Michael will be present on the website and forums, so feel free to discuss with him any new developments you would like to see. Alongside this, he will also be active in our GOI (Game On Initiative) Development Team, in aid to bring new content and games to the Aluna Brand.

Ripping artists off of their work is low. Give credit where credit is due, or make it yourself.
