Design / Re: Copied content?

« on: March 05, 2015, 02:01:22 AM »

I think it's great to pay homage in your own game to a game you loved, but I don't like the idea of stealing something directly.  I'm a big defender of spiritual successors and tribute games, but I'm also a big defender of copyright and intellectual property.  If a designer wants to do something that evokes a sense or memory of a previous game, I say go for it!  But I would also say don't copy a whole level or a particular character.  At that point, I feel the designer may be on thin ice.

Ah, I totally see where you're coming from.  That makes sense to me.  Thanks!

Player's Plaza / Rogue-likes and Diablo 3

« on: February 28, 2015, 03:38:32 PM »

Heya,

New to this website and rogue-likes in general.  Since I discovered the genre recently thanks to Rogue Legacy, I was wondering if people who were really into rogue-likes considered the Diablo series to be "rogue-like" or something else.  How do people feel about this?  Just wondering if my prior experience in those games would be helpful in the newer rogue-like games that have come out recently.

Peace,
