Did the creators of Banished collab with Settlement Survival??

[Mae_B_Today]

I was watching Let's Game It Out today and he was playing this game called [edit: Settlement Survival, not Mythic Heroes, MH was just the video sponsor] ... a lot of assets looking extremely familiar. Just wondering if the creators of Banished collaborated / were involved with the creation of Settlement Survival or if StSv just ripped off a bunch of visual elements from Banished.

I am not sure. I donno much about other games like banished, other than it has one single developer, and he dropped it on the market in 2015 or 16, not sure which. He has been working on a second game now, that is similar, but different than Banished.

I can tell you though, there are Many many many other games out there that have tried and failed to replicate this game. Some are okay, some are not good, and some have enhanced the ideals of Banished. But Not a single one of them is the same as banished. Nor do the copycat games have the intensity that this game can have, Most of the other games that claim survival city builders, don't have the uhm, learn the mechanics of my game or die, that Banished has. Most other city builder/survival games, are much easier to learn than Banished as well.

I could not find this game on Steam. I checked it out with Google and from what I saw it is nothing like Banished. It's some kind of "hero" fighting war game?

Sorry, I got my wires crossed. The game I suspect of ripping off Banished is called Settlement Survival -- mythic heroes was the sponsor for the video.

There's the gameplay for Settlement Survival.

They are very open about it as the description on the store page starts: "In this ‘Banished’ inspired city-builder..."

Right, but I don't think acknowledging inspiration just means you get to rip off visual elements without permission or compensation, which is why I was curious if the Banished folks knew about it / were involved.

I... don't see the "ripped off visual elements". Unless, of course, you count a map with trees and rivers and some stone and other rescources on the ground. Or the fact that most buildings occupy a square or rectangular shape.
Or are you referring to the fact that the grass is green?

you may hear the same free sounds/music.
everything is totally different from vanilla, you may see some similarities to the CC mod.
