2) Even if the changes are slight, a developer reserves the right to recycle his own technology & gameplay into entirely separate titles. 3) Zelda inspired the original Zelda Online knock-off; it was from this inspiration & reproduction that inspired Stefan to develop the technology & gameplay—it was not until the cease & desist that he decided to use this inspired technology to release his own game. 4) As a professional game developer & marketer, I have never in my life encountered another professional who literally programs everything from scratch, nor enlists updated versions of programming software engines as "versions" of end driven products. Albeit the cease & desist on Zelda Online drove Cyberjoueur to create their own title—and they certainly didn't feel like being much more original—Graal is its own title and its own game built using the software engine developed while copying Zelda; it is not a sequel or continuation, and legally it has been modified enough to quantify (or at least morally enough) to not be sued "again". |

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graal_Online Scroll down to Graal Versions. Zelda Online listed as first version and 2nd version starts in 2001. |

Antago sounds as if he's been sued for copyright infringement before with how much he's pushing this game being legal. It is a zelda clone. The "zelda online" game was actually called Graal already when I first played it and still called Graal when they changed the tileset to not look like zelda a link to the past. Stefan never made a public statement saying they are two separate games. He made enough changes to not get sued (considering it used zelda's exact graphics in early versions of Graal).

This is a game about the Holy Grail at the dawn of the Age of Aquarius; Zelda Online is a tribute to Zelda:ALTTP which is a ripoff from the 90s. Technically speaking, as well, from an HONEST marketing & cultural perspective—it doesn't make any sense to attempt to call a new game a continuation of a previous cease & desist which was a knockoff of another title.
