First things first, aren't unauthorized remakes a copyright violation? I mean, they for sure aren't unless the copyright holder doesn't care, but still. If someone's remake goes big, there is a chance of the developer getting in trouble, I suppose. I would like to take part in your jam but the whole copyright mess has kind of puzzled me for quite some time. Any insights on this topic?
Well, I just saw the description of your jam and it says "to explore the concepts of existing classic titles", so, in my understanding, it isn't supposed to be a remake (like RE remakes) per se, but something that's more like a "title"-inspired game (or maybe like rogue-likes or souls-likes)? What can be taken from the original? Just the concept or some gameplay mechanics or the entire plot with characters etc.? I'm a bit confused here as well, please help!!
I'm personally okay with any of the possibilities btw. Just would like a little clarification!!
