We are working on 2 clones. "PangBang" is a SuperPang clone. "Up&Down"
is a clone of 2 Mac-games. We have a fully working version of Up&Down
with ripped graphics from the mac. At this moment I'm working on new
graphics. PangBang had it's own graphics from the start. As far as I
know, everything is allowed since we don't use our stuff for commercial
use. I do understand that if you rip both the graphics and the complete
concept of a game from the same platform, you could get in trouble. Say
I would rip the complete RidgeRacer-game complete with models, graphics
and gameplay, and I'd put it up for the cover-disk.. I might get a
lawsuit for pirating their game or something. Although if I would be
able to do that, I think the chance is bigger that I would be offered a
job ;)
Anyhow, I can also remember that I downloaded an imagelibary for
freeware games once. That was a long time ago and I can't find it back,
but it was rather good. Complete with animated figures, backgrounds,
tiles for leves, etc.
Anyhow... I would like to know where the exact line would be for using
other games stuff..

DEnnis..

PS. For all the NY-members that know me.. You may have noticed that EA
liked my FreeFall idea and ripped it and calls it SkyDive!. As far as I
understand, SkyDive! is for 80% similar to my FreeFall. Well, I was not
able to get it developed anyhow..
