This is a one off video I am making in English because this was a topic I wanted to talk about for a while. I wanted it to be more tight but it became more of a rant (livestreaming will be that way sometimes).


Since I am going off on tangents a lot I will state my points here:
- Inspirations for a game are not as easy to constitute as people think they are
- Gamedevs are thinking about the core of a mechanic and it relation to the game and not the surface level presentation of the mechanic when talking about inspirations
- It is easier for two unrelated people to create perceivably the same thing in a game, as it is in music or wherever else
- You should not act as jerks in the internet (in general but especially) over supposed inspiration, plagiarism etc. as this topic is way more complex than people give it credit :D


I very much would like for anyone to comment on this topic but if you are not Bulgarian speaking viewer I would enquire you to NOT subscribe since I do not plan to make any other regular English content. I just wanted to talk about this for a while now and wanted to adress a wordwide audience.
