Madbook | Should you STEAL game ideas and mechanics? @Madbook | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I often find there is a huge emphasis on creating completely unique designs for every aspect of our games - however, this might be making us less innovative and creative. The games we know and love today are here because they are heavily inspired by by other classics.
Plagiarism is obviously not okay, but iterating on previous design, adhering to gameplay standards and re-inventing old ideas is definitely an important tool for the tool box - and often complements the unique new ideas we do have.
