what do you expect
game ripoffs + micro transactions = profit + devex = real profit = greedy developers |

To be fair, it is very hard coming with an original idea.
That's why I think showcases are good ideas, because you can be "original" in building it.

"it's very hard coming up with an original idea"
no, it isn't. it doesn't have to be a completely different idea from all other games, but it can have it's own unique mechanics and assets.
take the game i'm working on (kind of), it's a sidescroller platformer that uses day and night to your advantage. that's obviously not entirely original, but it's original enough.
if you cant stop and think of new things you should probably quit game development because in the real game industry, if you start copying games like that chances are you'll be in some legal trouble. |

I get you're trying to say that you can be semi-original, but what I mean is that it's "pretty hard" coming up with a whole new idea, something unique from any other game. Which is what I think OP is trying to talk about.
Also don't have to be harsh on that last part, Jesus...

sorry lol, wasn't trying to be too harsh.
it takes more time to be creative, but that's what game development is about in my opinion, a lot of the game industry has kind of been dumbed down these days. |

a good game doesn't have to be a completely original game
I'm fine with games having aspects based off of games but when you base an entire game off another game that's when it's pretty much a rip-off |

| and if you are going to copy unoriginal aspects into your game, then at least do it right or better than anyone else has |
