@Splatterphace@HornofBalance naw it’s probably fine. “Zelda Online” got a cease and desist back in the day, but they were able to keep going after doing a paint over on all their sprites and tile sets and renaming the game to “Graal Online”. It was still very obviously a Link To The Past clone after the paint over, but they never got shut down for it. Horn of Balance’s art is much more divergent.

He’s 100% right. You gonna get slapped with a CnD for assets that similar.

…which is why we’re suggesting altering the assets
They don’t need to if the assets are just similar instead of straight-up copies
