Hi /heg/, I've had a concept for a game sitting for a while now but I'm wondering if some of the ideas would be too similar to Pokemon Sage's game to the point where it wouldn't be worth pursuing.
Basically the two similarities in question are:
>My region is based on Argentina/Chile, which I know that Sage is also based on somewhere in Mesoamerica or South America
>I came up with a city that I realize is quite similar to that one sage city with the dark overworld and light up buildings (I think mine even had a casino too).
The conceptual doc for my game that I made around a year ago gives that description
>Calypso City is built deep in the mountains and lies in a peculiar location that receives no sunlight at all, meaning that the city experiences “night” for 24 hours. Despite this, Calypso is full of bright lights of streetlamps, casinos and other attractions
So yeah, I'm not sure if this is all too similar. My ideas were conceived independently of sage and most of the environments/concepts were inspired by Final Fantasy X, and the game itself is somewhat of a spiritual successor to Colosseum but with mostly Sinnoh mons. Pic related is the boxart I made for it.
So would this be worth pursuing? Maybe I'm just autistic and overblowing the similarities, because my game isn't derivative of Sage at all. I'd just hate be seen as ripping them off.
