yeah, but what's a game style that ever infringes on a copyright? from what I hace read ( mostly AI's response to my question's, and the legal precedent's that have been through court and lost), as Long as I do not use certain things that are graphicly copyrighted, such as pacman, we all know him, the ghosts and such. The map layout is up to interpretation, maybe an homage to a classic game that came before, but it's not a top down game. it's a 3d view of a derivative game that came before. And pacman inspired... what game came out after pacman that was not inspired by it. I'm going to make a video of where I am in my project and post it. If the map can cause an issue, it can be changed.
