Asking permissions to put the Smiley Hero from Zeta's world as a guest in a game

Hello!


I am a game dev with a passion for small indie titles, since always, and for my next games, I'm trying to add within it a bunch of guest playable characters.

It's a game that's structurally similar to a nuclear throne, but with a proeminent platformer feeling and a playfull feeling. And I am trying to put inside it a bunch of what made me love video games and wish to be a game dev. Basically, free PC games from the 2000's.

And one of these games I adore and made me into the person I am today is Zeux's World

Man, did that game took me when I was little. And when I got Zeta's world years later, I 100%'d it again. I love it so much. Consider this: I had only a computer, not a single dime in my pocket, and there's a full, complete, and incredibly well made platformer with secrets everywhere that I can just, like, download and play? That felt like a steal! Honestly, the verge engine was really a nice initiative and I'm bummed so much about it seems lost.

All this to say that I would trully love to know if I can put the Smiley Hero as a guest character in my game, as an hommage.

If you have any questions that would need answer to make yourself an opinion, please ask, and if you don't want your character to be put in a commercial game made by someone else, I would perfectly understand it too.

Thank you for reading, I hope I didn't made you lose some of your time for nothing, and I can't wait for the next game!

Marian,
Thanks for the message and for your appreciation of the game! As for your offer, I'm afraid I'll have to decline, as I have other obligations that prevent this kind of commercial association at the moment.
