So, I recently finished Night in the Woods, and I have to say, I really liked the art style. And it got me thinking, if creating game with graphics and playstyle based on another game would be considered as plagiarism? I don't mean stealing assets or copying game story, but creating something new, with similar animations, playstyle and graphics, in such way that people could notice similarities between these games. Would such game be considered plagiarism? Could it get me into law troubles? This is more of general question, I don't have plans for creating such a game at this moment, I'm just curious about that stuff.
