Should I make a game if the idea was already done?

[Fuchsschweif]

I don't know. I asked you. So. How many works of fiction are there, that feature a magical book falling out of the sky.

Name. One.

No, because your question is simply dumb. If you reduce a parody to "a book falling from the sky" then "driving a car to work" is as well a parody. That's simly not enough to be considered a parody, regardless of what you personally think.

No, because there

Isn't

One

Doesn't matter. The definition of a parody is neither that there are no other parodies or original works.

So you concede that a magical book falling out of the sky is not generic?

So Sexnote is cribbinbg from Deathnote.

Cool.

Magical objects that appear to a protagonist in all shapes and ways and grant him supernatural powers are generic asf. This is one of the most commonly used tropes of all.

It's the same with weapons that "only the hero can use". It doesn't matter whether that's a sword in a stone, Thor's Hammer or some Axe stuck in a tree.

 

[MarshmallowCasserole]

Yes, magical objects are generic.

Magical books are fairly generic.

Books falling from the sky aren't generic, magical or otherwise.

It doesn't matter, the "twist" is too small to be significant. The same way you're not really standing out by making a Machete being stuck in magical sand, in contrary to Thor's hammer that can't be lifted by unworthy or the sword stuck in stone or the axe stuck in a tree and can only be moved by the choosen one.

I've started making a game called "Lust Note".

Basically, a parody of death note.

Looking around, there already seems to be a game that has done this

I've never played that game, but I already guessed someone did something like this.

Would it be wrong to continue development?

Morally speaking morals are a social construct created by the human race, there is no god to tell us anything is right or wrong and nature certainly won't disagree either.

Do i think a death note porn parody is stupid to begin with and we certainly don't need two? yes i do.

How is it stupid? It's just mind control by using a notebook which fell from the sky and is guarded by a god. It's basically taking the core idea i guess, not a parody meant for comedic purposes. Maybe I worded it wrong.

"Morally speaking morals are a social construct created by the human race, there is no god to tell us anything is right or wrong and nature certainly won't disagree either."

also that sounds like something L would say

Theres hundreds of games with the same premise

"You return home from college because your dad died, you meet again with your hot mom that is somehow naive when it comes to sex despite having 3 kids, your older sister that loves you but cant say it cause shes pretending to be a tough girl, and your younger tsundere sister that pretends to hate you to hide the fact that she loves you"

And yet that never stopped anyone from making more games with the same plot, just do what you want.

Meanwhile, the actual game overview:

Living with his two adoptive mothers and stepsister made him shy with girls, until one day, he was sitting in the classroom and saw a book falling from the sky... That book was a SexNote, a book that will introduce him to the magic power, where he will acquire a lot of magical skills with the help of Brixxida the guardian demon of the book, changing his life forever and the way he interacts with his friends, family, and new enemies...​

Hmmmm, what does this remind me of... Nope, can't remember.

I didn't read past this post, so maybe someone addressed it already, but SexNote only takes very surface level ideas from deathnote.

Basically, there is a notebook and "guardian." That's it. And I played SexNote. The book is a spellbook that teaches MC various magic spells. That's not the premise of deathnote, so this isn't really a deathnote parody.

A true parody that uses the deathnote mechanics of writing down something in the book would be something new that doesn't exist as a porn game. Although an unskilled writer can only do a typical mind control porn story with suh a premise, a skilled writer could do the original IP justice with mystery plots, high stakes, as well as some poonani along the way.

Yeah i'm not into mind control and i also generally do not like any parody games (league of domination is my one exception)

I am downbad for Misa misa so i guess i could be L.

Just because someone made a similar game doesn't mean they are more competent than you.
Finding games that disappoints you is the first step towards success.
If you are disappointed then many people can be as disappointed as you and have a desire to be properly Satisfied.
