Yet another too similar game to Starbound....

There is also a game of the same genre called edge of space http://playedgeofspace.com/
But I don't like how it looks like.

 

Signs of Life looks okay. Kinda wish I could see what customization they had in terms of the player character though.

 

Minecraft isnt just a game. Well it is. But it started its own genre.

Think of Starbound like that. When it comes out -w-

 

I'm getting sick of people thinking that you can sue for 'stealing' an idea.

Video games learn from each other, it's how the market grows. Besides, you can't place a copyright on an idea unless you are able to get a patent, which I don't think Tiy has, or will try to get.

Besides, if you like Starbound, don't you want more games like Starbound? What's with people and the idea of 'rip-offs?" The truth is, rip-offs don't exist.

According to you and many others, Sonic is a rip-off of Mario. Call of Duty is a rip-off of Doom. Faster than Light is a rip-off of Spelunky. Braid is a rip-off of Cave Story.

Stop with this rip-off BS. The two games being compared right now share almost nothing. You remind me of those idiots who kept calling Terraria a Minecraft rip-off.

 

Unless they steal code and art, it's not a rip-off. I don't see anywhere here where they stole any code or art, just the idea.

 

I dont trust that articles credibility. Its pretty short for being one. And it doesnt have much info. Something that starts out by telling us someone else is bad is merely trying to force opinions. :/

That said, stuff published like that tends to be the reason why we had government control problems over the internet with things like SOPA and lately the ITU Conference. You win some you lose some.

 

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ripoff

"an act or instance of ripping off another or others; a theft, cheat, or swindle."

 

it actually looks pretty fun c:

 

I'm a bit late to the party, but this game looks like my kinda game. Theme Hospital meets Star Trek I love it.

I don't see any "ripoff" elements here. It has pixel art... so what. thousands of games had pixel art before Starbound was even a thing.
Edit:

That is the magic of the English language. A word can have more than one meaning. It is dependent on how the word is used.

"He ripped me off and stole my code!" is very different from "He ripped off my idea!" when it comes to interpreting the law.

 

I think that game looks Good


Anyway - About the Spaceship game, As its been stated blah blah blah of It doesn't look like starbound, might i add it looks pretty fun In my opinion

 

Yeah you can. It's called Intellectual Property. It is 100% possible to copyright ideas.

 

attention everyone in this thread

op is a straight up dumbass just like most fanbois....

the game he linked was announced LONG before starbound....

wish op would get a life kthxbye

 

I honestly think that making a Starbound meets FTL is a great idea.

 

Doesn't really look like Starbound.

Also, doesn't really look interesting to me.

 

relax dude..
there was no need to insult the guy and say he needs to "get a life"

you could have just commented "the game he linked was announced LONG before starbound...." and it would have been fine

 

Depends on the idea, and how specific it is. You can't copyright a circle or the theme of outer space exploration, for instance.
