>Why don't these people use their talents and make an ORIGINAL game instead of aping an existing IP?Yeah? And what would people say if they made a game with totally original characters and gameplay ideas that are clearly something that would fit better with an existing franchise? It would just be seen as a hollow knock-off with no originality. Better to have it hitched to a recognizable gameplay base if they're just going to be doing it for fun than try to make money on something everyone would call out for being a pretender.
>>729047935They make the game because they like the franchise. It is the same thing with mods.
Sonic-inspired characters look really bad. The only one that looked okay was Jester.
>>729048124Eh, I liked Lilac.But not necessarily because of anything she took from Sonic. Her ricochet star dash is fun to use.
>>729047935If the game ends up feeling like a knock-off of an existing franchise then it wasn't very original
>>729048124If you're talking about that yellow thing, no it's fucking not.

I mean what is someone supposed to do if they have level design ideas and one of them includes running around in a loop? What are you supposed to do then but make a Sonic game? Trying to incorporate this level design concept into something that isn't Sonic will probably get thrown in their face.

bum
>>7290479351. They specifically want to make a game with Sonic or whatever IP it is because that's what they like 2. Fangames can actually be easier for people with less talent since you can just use pre-existing assets from other games since you're not selling it. Look at the image you posted, it's mostly assets from the GBA Sonic games.
