This is what I found so far: http://www.kloonigames.com/blog/general/wanted-constructive-criticismThis means th3e first prototype of crayon physics is from Friday, June 1st, 2007, means about 2,5 years ago. On the page of http://complex.ovh.org/ I found only this date, but this doesn't mean that he couldn't have published it earlier: "PhysicDraw (Download: Mirror1 - Mirror2) - Last release: 03/16/08" I suppose 03/16/08 means 1,75 years ago, but it is possible that he produced this engine/game earlier. ++++ Found this site with the names of both developers: http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/sitemap/developers/Here there profiles: http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/user/Sphax/http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/user/Petri%20Purho/Sadly, these pages don't shad any light on whether who developed first. (Petri Purho has a video in his profile which looks like quite some fun. I like its sort of mechanic and graphics.)

Crayon Physics was first. The developer, Petri, is a guy who used to run a blog about make-a-game-a-week, and was experimenting with all sorts of ideas, coming up with great concepts for games every week. On June 1st, 2007 he made Crayon Physics and posted it on his blog here: http://www.kloonigames.com/blog/games/crayonDue to the great response for his game, he decided to improve it which resulted in Crayon Physics Deluxe a year later. He started selling his game for 10-15 bucks, but I guess sales weren't that good which pushed him into the "pay what you want" offer. That other game is made with MMF2 and came between Crayon Physics and Crayon Physics Deluxe. I'm guessing it was Crayon Physics that influenced the MMF2 developer to make his game (which is why he's not complaining about any of that himself) Btw, interestingly, even though CP had great potential, somehow the full game didn't amaze me as much as I expected it to. It was still worth every penny (when it actually had a price) but I enjoyed Armadillo Run infinitely more (another great physics puzzle game. Give it a try..)

so let me get this straight, because you use the same genre of game that makes you a thief? maybe the wonderful end of the world by dejobaan games should have never been made then right? or maybe mario should be considered the only platform game that was original. Is every free roam game a GTA knockoff, or skate game a THPS knockoff? maybe WOW should owe everquest royalties for being a fantasy based MMORPG............. Nope, I don't care if anybody develops a game that's essentially a knock-off of another game. At the time it just bugged me how this guy had won such an award, when it seemed to me that his game was almost exactly the same as PhysicDraw. But since nobody really knows for sure who came up with the idea first (and it seems that Petri came up with it on his own), the issue here is resolved. Sorry for the trouble.
