hello my name is orion me and my friends have been looking for a game to remake just for passion and since I have been playing your game since december 23 2024 I thought we could make a remake of your game since this project has so much potential dont worry we will credit you and will make sure to make it free now we know its just a prototype and probably wont be the final game but if the game will cost money then we will make it a mod if you release it on steam, our indie studio name is molten metal and we thought it could be pretty cool ofc we need your permission to make a mod to release on steam so if you can respond to me thank you and goodbye!
oh no im not saying to completely remake it im just gonna add some minor stuff that I think can make it a bit better but I wont release the mod on like major stuff like steam just on like a less known place like gamejolt since your game will spark inspiration its a really good design so ya I wont go over board and since some other games like celeste and hollow knight and pvz have such a dedicated fanbase the fans make mods of the game which shows the love of the game being made so thats what we will try to do but we dont go overboard also will it release on steam? like the game
Thanks for the clarification. In general, I’m supportive of mods as long as they don’t redistribute the original game (and as long as it’s very clear that they’re unofficial mods, with proper credit given to the original game’s creators).
In the case of Hollow Knight and Celeste: Mods for those games require a legal copy of the base game to play. Mods for these games don’t redistribute the original game.
So, your mod would need to require that people get the base game from me first, before they can use your mod. If you did that, and also made it clear that what you’re releasing is a mod, then I think that’s probably fine.
Fair warning though: People spend time writing “Mod loaders” for games like Celeste/Hollow Knight to solve this problem, and it takes time and effort to do that.
To answer your last question: I do have plans to release the full game on Steam eventually (and the final version may cost money).
thank you I will make this mod and we will do exactly what you say since I am one of your largest fans ever! and I will pour my heart and soul into this project but also maintain the base game but I have a question if you would be willing to do trailers for it can I help? since I am pretty good at pixel art and ya I would be honered of you said yes
