The developers swapped some coding knowledge and Brash invited kindanice to his game dev Discord server.<\/p>\n<p>A year passed, and then this week, Brash sent kindanice a Discord DM to share some cool news: He&apos;d cloned Dire Decks in a new engine, added some new features, renamed it Wildcard, and put it on Steam under his own name.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&apos;t one of those gray area situations where one game derives its basic design from another, but brings its own look and spirit to the table. One game is clearly a copy of the other, and Brash himself called Wildcard a &#8220;clone&#8221; of Dire Decks when he introduced it to kindanice.<\/p>\n<p>Kindanice was taken aback: flattered, perhaps, but confused. He asked Brash if he really thought it was OK to take the art and concept of Dire Decks and put it on Steam under his own name without permission. Now Brash seemed taken aback: He pointed out that the code was original and that he&apos;d redrawn the artwork, but asked if kindanice wanted an &#8220;inspiration&#8221; credit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bro&#8230; there&apos;s &apos;inspiration&apos; and then there&apos;s blatantly copying an entire game,&#8221; kindanice replied.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1313px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:46.31%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"wZcb3YJjc8vMzYSA76oBVk\" name=\"dire decks vs wildcard 2.jpg\" alt=\"A side-by-side comparison of Dire Decks by kindanice (left) and Wildcard by Terry Brash (right).\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/indie-dev-baffled-after-acquaintance-clones-his-game-puts-it-on-steam-and-acts-like-its-no-big-deal-happens-every-day-homie.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1313\" height=\"608\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">A side-by-side comparison of Dire Decks by kindanice (left) and Wildcard by Terry Brash (right). <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: kindanice)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The question of whether copyright law protected Dire Decks came up.
