Greetings,
So some time back, I made a game heavily inspired by the Steam game Lunch Lady. In a nutshell, it was made to be a Roblox version of it. Ultimately the owner sent a DMCA to have it taken down. (there’s videos on it on Youtube if anyone is interested to see what it looked like in comparison, Exam Week was the name)
We’re focusing on relaunching the game, using just the general concept of collecting items, while avoiding an entity, and escaping.
The entire map concept and character design is going to be different. Additionally, it’s not going to be school themed at all.
At this point, the only similarity is the concept itself: find X items, and escape the premises.
I also took down any unique mechanics they had in their game. e.g: they had steam pipes that would burst out at you. I used to have these in my version, but I will no longer include them in the new game.
I see no possible concern as to being taken down again, but I wanted to verify this just to be absolutely sure if there is anything I missed. The game concept is so generic, I see no problem in using it to make something new.
One last thought, we’re extending the functionality as well. It’s not the exact same, it will have new features and mechanics not found in the original Steam version.
Thank you guys for any insight.
