Why?
Well literally just because of this, when Arcane Odyssey might release, there might be somewhat a moderate amount of drama/conversations of people saying that AO is inspired by Deepwoken due to the fact it uses a hunger system (Inspired by Legend of Zelda) and ships (Inspired by One piece). But since it has a slight relation with deepwoken, most people would suspect that AO is just some Deepwoken fangame even tho it’s not. Just saying this cuz I’m not willing to see a lot of messages of people saying “ARCANE ODYSSSEY IS BASED OFF OF DEEPWOKEN”
Fr seems like a problem to those who don’t even like Deepwoken yet some people compare it to it
I know of a game which branched off from another game, instead being much better than the original game. Yet people call it a copy.
Same is here except AO is in fact not a copy
