But about that originality.. Aren't most games really inspired by previous games, iterating on them, remixing in stuff from other games and making them better? Didn't Transport Tycoon get a lot of inspiration from Railroad Tycoon, but still end up a truly great game?
Just like Minecraft built on Infiniminer and gave a new experience, just like Terraria built on Minecraft and gave a new experience, I hope Skycraft will be able to give yet another experience. But until it gets more distinctive features than the technology itself I guess it feels quite unoriginal, yeah, I totally get what you're saying :)
