Hello! I am working on a game heavily inspired by the game SOMA by Frictional Games. I am however not sure how much I can include from the game. These are some similarities and differences:
- My game will be called ABYSS, not SOMA
- It will have a completely different story with little to no spoilers because it will take place long before the events of SOMA
- None of SOMAs characters are in my game (except from mentions of WAU)
- My game doesn’t take place in any of the locations from the game, but is adjacent to them
- I am refering to sites and terms from the game: Theta, Omnitool, Pathos-II and the pilot seat
- I am not downloading any assets from SOMA, but create my own with blender, based on pictures I screenshot from the game, fx:
ABYSS:
SOMA:
- My game includes use of some of the same dynamics, such as the Omnitool and pilot seat, which will be called by those terms
What can I take from the game without it not being allowed? Can I use images from the game, like the instructional posters or maps:
Sorry for the long post, hope someone can help!
