Hii Tartarus, hope you’re doing well.

i wanted to reach out with you because I played Bloodbark some time ago and i really liked this game. I think the concept of the forest and the trees as a psychological metaphor is genuinely brilliant.

this year I have to present a project for a science fair at my high school, and I want to develop a small psychological horror game focused on environmental awareness (deforestation and human impact on forests).

i’d like to ask if you would be okay with me using a similar core idea (trees with blood-like sap and their hallucinogenic psychological effect) as inspiration, without using any assets or specific characters from Bloodbark.

the game would be free to play and published online, and I would clearly credit Bloodbark as an inspiration.

If you’d prefer that I didn’t use this concept, I completely understand and will adjust my project accordingly.

thank you so much for your time, and for creating something that inspired me so much.

I am so happy to hear that my game inspired you that much! Of course you can!

The hallucinogenic trees that bleed originally come from Valdevia's artwork, called Bloodbark as well, so maybe you'd need to ask him too? I'm not sure since after all this game does credit his artwork anyway.


If you do ask him I'm sure he would be glad to give you permission and as excited to see what you come up with as I am :D
