On November 30th, 2024, we released Patch v0.3.11 for Palworld. This patch removed the ability to summon Pals by throwing Pal Spheres and instead changed it to a static summon next to the player. Several other game mechanics were also changed with this patch. As many have speculated, these changes were indeed a result of the ongoing litigation.

Furthermore, we regret to inform our players that with the implementation of Patch v0.5.5, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player's team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

Sorry I'm struggling with how flying on a flying thing was invented by Nintendo

They had a hilarious patent where they tried to copyright, “Player on moving platform jumps and keeps moving” in Tears of the Kingdom. Mf’s tried to copyright physics.

What shitty behavior coming from a children's toy company.

*Vexatious Litigant Law Firm

At this point, their Legal team is bigger than their Games Development side-hustle.

Mod makers, you know what to do

I was really hoping they would change the sphere to a dodecahedron or something

it still wouldn't pass the requirements, the patent is bullshit. It's any object tossed at a creature. Could be ninja stars or an old boot and it would violate the patent.

They also own the patent of riding a claimed char (in both the air and ground if I understand it right) so they are technically still in violation of Nintendo's patents. It's so dumb

Furthermore, they also own the patent of aiming a device and catching in a percentage chance.

Cool, let's pull them into a scroll or something.

Temtem uses cards that circle around the creature when capturing iirc. I thought it worked well.

[–] JohnWorks@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago

I don’t think temtem is affected as much by this since they’re not a studio based in Japan.

Apparently a capsule is a trademark special to Nintendo

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

Not trademark. A false patent

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 12 hours ago

Quick, someone tell Capsule Corp!!
