Hello, hope you are feeling really well today! Yesterday, I was in a discord server and I was talking about my game, then I post the link of my game and someone decided to look on App Store for the name “The Lost Land” and a game appeared.

My Game:

  • How old: 1 year.
  • Name: The Lost Land
  • Context: Survival Game

Game Found.

  • How old: Since comments on the games are like two years ago, I will say the game is 2 years old.
  • Name: The Lost Land
  • Context: Survival Game
  • Famous: Idk how famous this game is…

I never knew about this game’s existence until yesterday. Should I take action and change my game’s Name. Or should I just leave the name of my game?

I am worry about copyrighted issues.

Depends, I think you should take action before anything bad happens.

No you’ll be fine. As long as you aren’t directly stealing IP from them. Maybe as a precaution, don’t make your game 99% the same as theirs.

No offense but your game name is very generic, so it’s not uncommon that there would already be a few games with this name. I would suggest either changing the name of your game, or contacting the owner of that game and asking him if he would change the name. I personally don’t think you can get in trouble for using the same name as another game, as long as it isn’t trademarked.

Someone helped me, and searched for the name to see if it was Trademarked and it wasn’t. Just two names that contained the word Land and Lost, but not the exact format of the name.

I never saw that game, until yesterday. Also, I saw it and the only thing that is similar as all other survival games are: Thirst Bar, Hunger Bar, Tools Slots. Just that.

Trust me you’ll be fine and save from a copyright strike.
