The title for the game is still in the works but basically not would be a vampire game inspired by @jasonstevanhill game the choice of vampires. That being said I’m not trying to create a sequel to any of his games. I was just hoping I could bits and pieces of his lore for vampires to explain the bvkstory and offer some possible plot twists in my game. Specifically the concept of The Society. If you’re just talking about taking inspiration from another writer’s work, then that shouldn’t result in IP infringement. After all, pretty much everyone who writes does the same thing. For example, the Society in Choice of the Vampire seems to have been inspired by the Camarilla from Vampire the Masquerade, which in turn took inspiration from Anne Rice’s novels. The idea that a fictional society of vampires might have its own government and social conventions isn’t anyone’s intellectual property - and there shouldn’t be anything stopping you from developing a similar idea for your own games. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/would-this-game-be-allowed/34504)._
