Fledgling Fyora btomasulo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It's been a while since I played Lost Souls, but when I was watching the TotalBiscuit video on A Druid's Duel, the game looks pretty similar. Turn based, one hit kill combat? Floating islands? Resources gained from terrain capture with bonus capture points? build bridges to access certain terrain bits? Look at this game and tell me it isn't Lost Souls: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 At first I thought it was Richard White selling a remake of Lost Souls — because yes, it's basically the same game, with new graphics, a better AI, and more complicated moves. But no, no one at Thoughtshelter Games is named Richard White. Also, welcome to the forums, leave your sanity at the door, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It's not the first time I've seen an almost complete copy of that game format over the years, actually. I had a mobile game that did the exact same thing four or five years ago. I guess it's just a relatively easy idea to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Lost Souls is a pretty simple idea, but it never quite lived up to its potential. Mostly it needs map editor. —Alorael, who might well get this game. Lost Souls was always the standout good RWG for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora btomasulo Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 @Kelandon- That's a shame he's not involved, it was his idea (to the best of my knowledge). And thanks! @Kozdur- Lost Souls needs to be able to run on a modern OS, but Jeff Vogel has said he hasn't heard from Richard White in years: I would much rather support Spiderweb and Richard White but I suppose if there's no indication a remaster of Lost Souls will ever be released then it wouldn't hurt to play this one right? Though the 4:3 aspect ratio has me a little worried, PC ports of mobile games sometimes have pretty terrible support. Also I wonder if either Spiderweb or Richard White could sue, the game is ridiculously similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 In general, the rules of a game aren't considered copyrightable material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
