    Such a waste of energy. They should have made a new game so that they could sell it and not just get a lawsuit for their project.

        Fair enough but these fan projects are a waste. At best you get a cease and desist letter, at worst a lawsuit and all your work scraped.

        Make an original game based on the concepts and mechanics of these games.

              Creative coding is your friend. Look for p5.js . Instead to get the output in a cmdline console of your hello world, you will see it in picture you render. It is more exciting.

              Once you understand basic principles, switch to a game engine.

              Hope it helps.

                I know a few languages to do stuff by hand; I’ve just been super curious about that flow chart method of providing logic that UE5 has. I originally started with things like Klik’n’Play and always thought the “code a thing without writing any code” was neat.

                I just keep putting it off. Like how I also keep putting off learning how to play the guitar I spend $500 on. 😩

                  I have adhd too ( adhd symptoms for be more precise, due to narcolepsy) So I can understand your struggle.

                  Maybe you could look for taking lessons with someone for the guitar.

                  Then you can’t imagine the number of games I started and gave up with unity.

          Not every project’s goal is to make money. I’d argue that spending time learning now to remake a game that you personally love is not a waste of time. You get the thing you wanted (a remaster) and you’ve honed a skill.

            If you actually are allowed to finish the project without getting sued up the ass. Sure.

            You can learn the same skills making a game that’s inspired by your favourites.

            Making a new game and selling it are two different things. You can make it and give it away for free like many do.
