As one of the developers of HHS+, I am actually concerned about this.
I don't want to allege
@Errilhl of bad intentions, but using a name that's easy to mistake for an existing game that's been around for a long time just seems like the author is trying to cash in on the popularity of another game when going onto Patreon. Having a preceding "H" in the logo (which also uses red and white in its color scheme, like HHS+) to result in the letters "HHSS" doesn't help to alleviate that suspicion.
I have honestly never heard of HHS before I started this thread, and I apologize for any similarities. I tried finding a logo of yours, or a website apart from the forum - do you have one? I also tried finding a logo or anything like that online, but couldn't find that either. Do I have to download the game to find these things?
For the record: we have been developing HHS+ for several years in our spare time, without every taking any kind of donations, despite all the Patreon craze. And we intend to keep it that way. It would be really bad, though, if people mistook your game for ours and went on to think that they could support us by pledging to you.
I am aware that nobody has a real copyright on the name "HHS", but I'd really appreciate it if you could come up with a name for your game that's less prone to be confused. Since you are just starting off, it may not be too late for that.
I don't think I will, unfortunately. I have no intentions of stealing from you, and if any of my eventual Patreons voice disappointment or concern that HSS is not HHS, which they assumed it was (how, I have no idea, but people have been known to not be able to read and/or see differences in art styles), I will happily point them in the right direction and refund their money.
But, the whole HSS-bit is part of the story (the HSS in the logo for the game is also the logo for the school, with its own name matching the logo), and rewriting it will take a bit of time - I would also have to redo the logo, menu and internal graphics... so I don't think that it's in the cards as of now. Sorry about the unintentional confusion - I repeat, I was not trying to use your game for my benefit (frankly, I've never heard of HHS, but that's on me, not on you).[/QUOTE]
