If anything, it seems similar to Terraria. I'm not going to call it a clone because I personally find the term derogatory. I'd rather call it a 2D platform sandbox game that has similarities to Terraria but still unique.
A clone of Minecraft in my books is more FortressCraft / UberBlox / Manic_Digger.
Congratulations to the OP though. Overall looks pretty good.
- eigenbom 13y agoYep it's definitely influenced by Terraria and has similar mechanics. But I see these set of mechanics as forming the base primitives of the game, like running and shooting in Doom and Half Life, selecting and targeting in starcraft and c&c, or pointing-and-clicking in maniac mansion, etc. Hopefully I'll be able to colour this game enough so that people don't just write it off based on the core mechanics. :)
- bostonpete 13y agoYou avoided using the term "clone" because it's derogatory and then applied it to three other games... (?)
- andrewb 13y agoYes. I should have added an additional statement that these games actually promote themselves as clones. UberBlox "Im making a kinda of Minecraft Clone" https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/605337 https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/605337 Manic Digger "an open source clone of minecraft" https://github.com/henon/manic_digger https://github.com/henon/manic_digger I made a mistake with FortressCraft. After reading the Wiki apparently there was a dispute between themselves and Minecraft.
