you guys need to use some intelligence, they this and protector are clearly similar because they are in the same series of games...

dazedcore: thats bc protector is the sequel.
nayla: it cant be a ripe off if its the same person who made it.
wizard85: NO>.<
cascade: you might be right, i dont work for a game developer, but i thought it was only against the law if you made money off the creation.
zack(and everyone else saying that): its not exactly the same. protector is a lot more in depth.

@MrSun Even if he did, I doubt Richard Garriott (or whoever owns the game now) would have given him consent to use it outside of the ultima world and liscence. Even if everything in this flash game was created byt undefined himself, he still does not have the rights to use them as he please. I work for a game company myself, and it is made Very clear that anything you create, do, and otherwise bring to the work environment is and becomes the property of the developer.
But with all that aside, it is still poor creativity and originality to use something that has already "been done"; that is to say that it already exists somewhere else. While the gameplay is not in question here, his source material is, at least to me.

Looks like pretty much everything used to create this game came from Ultima Online. First of all the grey/gold symbol is UO's symbol (the symbol is U on top of an O), the mage sprites have the same animations as in UO, probably all the sprites are taken from there. Yew is also a town in the game. So much for creativity!

I don't get it. If Defender and Protector are made by undefined, can you call Defender a rip-off of Protector? And if Defender was first, how can it be a copy of Protector? It's all so confusing!

Both games are made by the same person. He borrowed the graphics for Defender from Ultima Online. the second game (Protector) is made completely by him and his team.

this was out before protector retards... and protector is the knock off... either way they are both good games... 5/5 ALL AROUND

I will admit that the graphics are better than on Protector. It would be cool if you could combine Defender's graphics with gameplay at least as good as Protector.

This is not a prototype for Protector, this is the original game. Defender is part 1 of something Noxin created. Protector came about after Defender was out for a good while.

I see, this one is a Protector 1.0. I like some things this one has that Protector lacks, like having the sprite change when you level up a character. I have some problems with the names, thought. One of my Ice Mages was called "Anal Fantasy". Thanks for the game, anyway.

Okay yeah definitely get the 4 general upgrades for mages the range bonus is worth it. (This DOES NOT work for Dexers however, I got confused on this point and ended up wasting much gold.)

You can get the end ones some exp by not developing the middle. Working on the third one - pretty tricky. I am wondering if the melee Dexter unit ever needs to be used.

It's hard to deal with the fact that the guys in the back get very little XP, and thus no upgrades. By later in the game, they end up being useless because they can't do enough damage to get the XP they need. My suggestion: Set up a way to move the guys around between rounds so that we can get them to balance out in XP garnering.
