- girvo 10y agoFine, "heavily inspired by".
- raverbashing 10y agoUsing the direct sprite data would have been a massive IP violation Drawing something similar can surely have people questioning it, but it might be sufficiently different to (try to) avoid bigger complaints.
- NietTim 10y agoI don't think the creator of flappy bird gave a damn about IP violations.
- tamana 10y agoNot massive at all. The pipes are not a substantial creative artifact in their own right. An IP violation would require causing brand confusion or drawing sales away from the original
- Buge 10y agoYou're thinking of trademark, which would require confusion. Copyright is another type of IP, and does not require confusion. It only requires copied content.
- RottenHuman 10y agomaybe from a different Mario game?
- ManlyBread 10y agoLooks a lot like Mario Advance 3.
- justinlardinois 10y agoSuper Mario Advance 3 was a port of Yoshi's Island. Yoshi's Island pipes for reference: http://protipoftheday.com/sites/default/files/yoshis_island_1ups2.png http://protipoftheday.com/sites/default/files/yoshis_island_... Not anywhere close.
- ManlyBread 10y agoActually I was thinking of Super Mario Advance 4, which is the port of Super Mario Bros. 3, thus the mistake on my part.
