Hammerwatch Discussion / Re: Plagiarism?

« on: June 08, 2014, 12:08:56 PM »

In most places the author can't enforce a copyright on core game mechanics.  No one is alowed to put a stamp on "the first person control scheme."  Art, sound, story, setting, levels, all those are the intellectual property of the game.

If you're asking if you can make a top down game where you run around and kill things then yes, go ahead.  If Hammerwatch inspires you to make something new that's great.  Hammerwatch certainly isn't the first, nor will it be the last, game to let players press keys to run around slaying monsters.

It does happen to be a pretty fun one though.

So the controls of the combat system can be passable?

Hammerwatch Discussion / Plagiarism?

I have a question regarding the Hammerwatch combat system: if in another game with the same combat system (using arrow keys for attack and skills) is a plagiarism or it can be passable?

Hammerwatch Discussion / New Classes Idea

« on: June 06, 2014, 06:36:29 PM »

I would have an idea for new classes for the next updates of Hammerwatch.

Summoner: Shoots 2 magic spheres and can summons 3 minions.
Sorceress: Similar to the Wizard, but it can corrupt the enemies into allies.
Cleric: It is not very strong, but it can heal himself and allies.
Barbarian: Very strong, but has has very little mana.

What do you think?
