I'm writing a movie based on the story of an obscure indie

Ree answer me

yeah

>ripping off existing videogame which is on a platform from where everyone interested can gain almost immediate access to

All it takes for the guy is to show that his shit has almost exactly the same story and it was released way earlier. Why not just ask him about it?

If the story is fantastic but the gameplay was shit, chances are that he himself ripped it off from a book or something. You better ask him first hand.

>>82865724
I think you'll be found out.

How about instead of wasting hours writing that bullshit you spend that time coming up with something original?

>>82865724
What game?

>>82866526
I mean the graphics are cool (8 bit) but it's obvious that he's an amateur in terms of game mechanics.

>>82865724
Just ask him if you can use some of it. He'll probably think it's cool someone played his game.

>>82865724
Shia? Is that you?

>>82866771
I'm not totally ripping it off. Just the twist and the basic underlying plot, but with a lot changed

If you cant think of your own ideas you're probably too much of a fag to actual write the thing so go ahead.

>>82865724
Pirate everything, don't be afraid to steal if it's good and change enough to confuse the lawyers.

Meaning the first 10 minutes of gameplay.

It will never be seen anyways. Just write what you want to.

yeah as long as you twist it enough

all the good shit in watchmen was lifted from sirens of titan, which is very well known, and nobody really noticed or cared

still, why would you want to just retell someone elses story

not to mention if your movie ever got made (it wont), you've now posted that you plan on knowingly plagiarizing it one a message board. screencapped this thread to screw you over in the future. happy travels!

Good artists borrow, great artists steal.

But copyright will be a problem if found out.

Which game?
