all you seen was the little white guy lol and the games are so not the same one is like zelda with combat thats fast with base building and other is a survival game with base building thats more exploring and chill combat ....Only when we see full game will tell.Alot of games are the same and share things that are alike doen't mean its a rip off.........forager has lots of inspiration from other games to.

Why does it matter when Forager is abandonedware.

Because it's still intellectual property?

Since when is it abandonware? The game got full release and several updates afterwards... How delusional are you?

Except its roadmap was abandoned, we never got multiplayer, and Linux support was dropped entirely AFTER it was promised to people who paid money for it.

As well as other fun and exciting[yal.cc] things the Forager dev got up to, that game is not worth your money and even if another game is a total ripoff, I'd rather pay for that.

It does very much look like Forager where you play as Sans. But then again I haven't looked into both games too much.

I was very surprised this game was not by the same developer of Forager!
Visually, they look very similar. Some mechanics are also similar: the biome thing, the furnace/building stuff, fighting underground.
I have spent several hours playing Foragers, and I've spent like half an hour on this game.
As long as the developer of Forager does not complain, I guess I will see how this game goes on.
After the multiplayer drama happened, Forager has been abandoned, by the way. Of course the developer still holds the rights, but I guess they may be okay with similar games being out.

Edit: after playing a little bit more, I am impressed by this game. I still agree that it is "very" inspired by forager, but it has its twists.

The visuals look so much like Forager that I came here to ask if it was from the same developer. That's... a bit much.

Honestly speaking, the graphics of the game are in different style so I am not sure why would you say they are so similar, as for some mechanics or solutions introduced to the game... Yes, they look similar but Miniland Adventure is a different game.

you might need your eyes checked. It's fine to be "inspired" by other games but to say they don't look almost identical is just nonsensical. From the store thumbnails, to the tree design, to the main character down to the eyes and posture. Also you lifted the hunger and hearts UI directly from minecraft so don't try to act like this is 100% original design on your part. Just embrace what it is, an inspired amalgamation of other ideas.

That's not how IPs work.

This game is different. It has different style, mechanics, and more.

There is no such thing as truly original, the point you are making is idiotic. Minecraft didn't create heart healthbars nor is the design innovative. Are you 10? Do you not realize how much Minecraft "ripped off" according to your standard?
