Didn't Superbird state he wanted to make 12 episodes?
Because technically there are 12 The Great Empires now.
(Including the fake TGE3 and TGEX)

My nerves and my time schedule hopes that it's the end.

My score total (currently at 223 million) hopes that it's not.

I think he should just rename his series.
Right now, he has 500 subscribers and some of his videos have 60,000 views.
I think it should be enough to set the ground for a new universe.

At this point, it would be really cool if the score was saved.

Dunno what version superbird is using, but the MAGLX3 and PAL builds save score across sessions. So if it's possible to play the games on those, that'd be an option.

superbird is all 1.4.

Really glad to hear about score saving in future versions so I'll finally be able to experience score progression live!

Superbird is using 38A.
Also, that sounds pretty cool.

Hi, I Hate SuperBird111

Since the topic's been bumped anyway, I'm gonna put a question forward:
Does anyone know what happened to this bootleg series after TGE 10? Is Superbird111 still around (and is he working on another sequel)?

He has seemingly stopped working on the series (or at the very least not revealed a possible sequel to the public yet).

again, I couldn't care less, but if there's ever a TGE11 showing up, I'm gonna play it again just for the score (and if I can access 1.4.5 in case he's using that lol)

Why play just for the score?
I've never played any of TGE series (not even the originals), I probably will get around to them eventually; are there any that I should specifically avoid (in terms of having poor gameplay)? Any that are absolute must-plays?

Taycamgame wrote:Why play just for the score?

because they're especially high in these episodes, due to their size and abundance of enemy combos, ace / star coins etc ...

Gameplay is really repetitive, basically every level is linear. There may be some bit of creative moments but they just fall under the radar. Some levels and bosses are also insanely hard, especially when they have ridiculously huge hitboxes. At some points there are bugs on the world map, preventing you from progressing further, fixing these was annoyingly tedious. The plot of TGE9 and TGE10 is extremely overloaded with basically every character from every franchise, and the story seems quite dumb (I skipped all cutscenes).

In short, you're not really missing anything if you don't play those.

We don't know anything.
This isn't that special though, TGE 10 came really unexspected as well.
On the other hand, TGE10 seems like it is the end.

New episode is released. This requires an access on google drive.

Oh dear god! Can this "Bootleg Great Empire Sequel" nightmare ever end?!? >_<"

Ok now it's on 1.4.5, since I'll never figure out how to make it bypass the antivirus, it will spare me the pain of wasting hours just for grinding a gazillion of score.

Honestly, I kinda want to play it. Like, The Great Empire 10 was pretty bad, but I enjoyed some of these bootleg Great Empires in the past.

"Only for 1.4.5 and better versions"
Me:
"Ha, it must work on 2.0 then!"

Disclaimer: Yes, i know I'm more known around here for shunning people and talking bad about them, but i'm trying to change this and become someone better so I'm gonna defend Superbird here since this has been an issue for years now!

Okay the only issue i have atm with this is that he didn't just put everything into one folder making you download everything and do it yourself!

Second: I don't think we should talk down Superbird for this at all, sure his works aren't as great like projects from more popular people and also the only similarity between this and Knux is basically the Name.

Did Knux copyright the name? No so anyone is free to use this name and honestly what kind of harm is this even doing? He is clearly having fun with the Engine and likes to create levels etc. Again sure they might not be great but they honestly don't bad either.

The issue I see on the forum is, that people are still very focused onto more popular people Projects/Episodes therefore people not so well known get less attention onto their stuff. I really hope that changes with the current reconstruction around here!

Not bad? Actually due to his complete lack of testing (and also bugs on the end of 38A, like world map paths not opening), his episodes never prove playable and it's a pain to fix them manually a dozen times.
