I ask for your advice and suggestion on how to make it stand out apart from MM? How do we meet a happy middle?
I really want that call feature. ^^;
This response makes me feel a whole lot better. I'm not sure why they feel like fans of the game will call us out for having similar features. I guess they don't want it to seem like we're stealing ideas? I mean, the story itself does have similar plot lines when it comes to the stalker and being in a group chat, but that doesn't mean it's 100% based off of MM. I just want them to understand it from my point of viewSundownKid wrote:Why would there be a backlash? There are plenty of game clones of other games that have been happily received... sometimes fans of a game want more of the same.
In fact the usual reaction to me seeing a clone of a good game is "why isn't it MORE like what it's trying to copy?" (in terms of copying the good features about it).
To be fair, it's Kajou who's the pervert. Okuma is more or less dragged along for her antics.Mammon wrote:Shimoneta
Danganronpa, Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, and Corpse Party are all about a group of trapped people trying to get out alive—two of which take place in a school. The premise for how they can escape is unique, despite the overall situation being similar. So it's certainly possible to write about the same subject from a different point of view. Just add your own spin to it.Mama J wrote:I ask for your advice and suggestion on how to make it stand out apart from MM? How do we meet a happy middle?

Came to say this, too. There's really no such thing an original story--everything comes down to the same basic elements as something else. How you tell the story is what matters. I care more about the characters, their motivations, and how they interact with one another more than some unique setting or premise.Katy133 wrote:Even stories that people describe as "original" can often be compared to other works. The difference between a perceived "remix" and a "rip-off" is that the creator takes already used ideas and does something that feels different than previous works.

A good place to look at for examples of films with similar ideas, but different executions are the video essays by Couch Tomato on YouTube. Each video compares two seemingly different and unrelated films and explains why they are the "same movie."Yunou wrote:There's really no such thing an original story--everything comes down to the same basic elements as something else.
