So i’m trying to replicate a combat-zone type-feature that is from Criminality to my game since i really liked the concept of forcing players to fight in a certain area, however i have a very important question and that is, am i allowed to replicate it the way criminality did? and will this get me in trouble? and RVVZ if you ever see this please let me know too!
For anyone wondering how it functions here it is: Combat Zones | Criminality Wiki | Fandom.

“replicate” can be interpreted in different ways but basically make it yourself / pay someone to make it is fine, stealing stuff from another person is not fine. If you mean just taking the idea and not any scripts then yes that’s fine

Other games have this feature as well. As long as you don’t just copy exactly the same it should be the fine. You can have same features in a game (e.g loot boxes and stuff) it just should not be 100% exact the same.

Oh, no, i’m making the entire script by myself! thanks for the advice though!
This would be like saying since someone else put an apple on a desk into their game, means I cannot as well.
It’s just an idea, and unless that idea is patented or made in a way where it’s oddly specific to one person and not an idea that one can come up with on the spot, you will be fine implementing it into your own game. Doesn’t even matter if it performs in a similar matter, it’s too generalized to be copyrighted.
