NOTE TO ADMINS! I know this is technically against the rules, but it isn't REALLY about DotA, it's rather different. I really need to hear the words of others on my situation, so I can only hope this topic doesn't get closed. Thanks in advanced, and, I will understand if the thread gets closed either way.
I have yet to utter a word of this until now... but since around summer of last year, I have been working on an AOS that greatly takes after DotA. Some may say it's DotA if you cleaned out all the heroes, items, features, and gameplay modes; and put in new ones. Some may say its just a lousy rip-off of DotA Allstars. I can assure you that even though it takes after the game, it is very different as there will be certain features in the game such as events that temporarily turn the battle field into a game of Capture the Flag, simple missions that you can take after for extra gold, and even certain items that can only be obtained through the completion of missions.
However, I am uncertain as to weather or not my game will stand a chance. Despite the fact that it's a well designed map, I doubt many people will play it, and I'll bet there will be plenty of DotA fans who will try to say I'm attempting to steal DotA Allstars's spotlight; which isn't my intention at all. I simply wanted to recreate DotA with my own heroes, items, modes, and features. And, well, I did.
Would you, personally, try out a 3rd-Party DotA-like game; or simply not even bother and just assume it'll be crap by comparison?
