Hi,
I'm a little confused. Are we allowed to "copy" or make a template based on an existing game or not ? It seems to depends of some criterias but I don't know whichs ones. Let me explain what I mean :
If I take for example the game "Hill Climb Racing" : at the beginning, an indie dev has got this idea and now we can find a lot of variants of this game on Google Play (Android) with different names or styles, because a lot of others indies devs made them. (Including me because I made a template for Construct for this game ;) ).
BUT about some games published on the App Store (Ipad or Iphone), there aren't any "copies" nor variants of these games.
I'm asking that because I wanted to make a template of the recently famous game "Sneaky Sasquatch" because I didn't found any variants of this game on Android on Google Play. Same thing about "Untitled Goose Game" (although this game has been released on consoles lately...).
So what the matter here ?
Is it a question of copyright ? (the original dev of Hill Climb Racing didn't take a copyright, but the devs of SS and UGG did ?)
Or is it because Apple has a kind of exclusivity on its games ?
Please, if someone could explain that to me and, above all, tell me if I am allow or not to make a template ofr Sneaky Sasquatch for des who're using Construct 2 & 3 ?
I'm sorry, I'm more specialized in the creation than in the distribution laws. But I want to be sure to not break the law.
So, thank you for your answers.
Take care.
P.S : And don't worry, I'm not only a "copier", I have also my own original projects in mind but I love exploit the full potential of Construct to try to create special and rare templates of games for the indie devs who're working on Construct 2 & 3. ;)
