This is how you capitalize. In my opinion, This is the best game idea you could ever get. There are only around two games that are similar to Luftrausers, thus there isn't much competition.
that’s why it’s annoying, you copied a good game and put a new paint job on it (art looks good btw), so yeah there’s no competition for you because you copied a game that was well thought out, just because a game is good doesn’t mean you should make that same exact game just to avoid competition.
You are correct. This was unethical behavior on my part. Making something unique requires far more effort, and to be honest, I'm too lazy to create something unique.
don't say that bro you can totally make a unique game, I just think you should change up the gameplay mechanics so that it's not the same as Luftrausers.
Everybody copies everyone all the time. We can only think of things we've already seen. If it's more blatant in a game competition for fun that doesn't mean it's inherently bad. It's good to change it up, but at the end of the day it's just a fun game.
I see your point but in a competition I don’t think this is the right thing to do, coming up with a game idea is arguably the hardest part, and he didn’t have anything (to my knowledge) saying that he didn’t come up with the idea.
