Clones: Advancing the Discussion

Speaker/s: Rami Ismail (Vlambeer) and Jan Willem Nijman (Vlambeer)
Day / Time / Location: Tuesday 11:50-12:15 Room 2003, West Hall, 2nd Fl
Track / Duration / Format / Audience Level: Independent Games Summit / 25-Minute / Lecture / All
GDC Vault Recording: Video Recorded
Description: In 2010, Vlambeer created Radical Fishing, released it as a sponsored Flash game and began work on an iOS version. As we were working, a third party suddenly released a game - which, down to the upgrades, was almost identical to Radical Fishing's design. This resulted in a lot of thinking about defining cloning, the dangers it poses to upcoming indie developers and the variety of strong opinions that keep the issue from being debated in a useful manner.
Takeaway: Vlambeer will talk about the practical dangers of clones to our industry and what we CAN do, instead of discussing only what we cannot do. We want to pick up the discussion at its impasse and provide a starting point for a new, more practical conversation about cloning.
