I recreated Tales of Rein Ravine mechanics and now I’m unsure what to do
Help me. I refuse to let Tales of Rein Ravine die because it has so much potential and some of the most realistic controls I’ve seen.
I managed to recreate the mechanics from scratch, but I’m still wondering how ethical what I’m doing really is.
My project isn’t a 1:1 copy, only the core mechanics are similar. I have the frame what the story is, what features can be build into it, basically what I hoped this game will be. I don’t want backlash or people thinking I’m stealing Maia’s work, because that’s not the case.
I honestly don’t know what to do. Nothing happened with the game since 2024 but what if Maia comes back and continues development? I would be hated for this? ToRR should be left as a masterpiece of horse games and leave it as a good memory? Why we can’t have this control mechanics in other horse games?
I’m an axious person, I can’t handle risky situations and I have no idea what’s the right decision here.
What are your opinions? Should I continue, or stop putting effort into this?
