Hi !
I propose to remove the word "worm" from our game (and pictures and skins
of worms) because of Team17. Do you agree with this idea ? We should show
where our game is different from Team17 Worm original game.
I still think that we're thinking to paranoid in this issue. Remember
that the only thing the two games have in common are the ideas, there is
no content of the original game used in wormux.
Is the name of the game Worms translated in the french version of the
game? In germany the game is called "Worms" just like the english
version, and not "Würmer" which would be the correct translation in
german. So as long as we don't call the game "Worms[...]" I don't see
any reason why wormux or a translation of "Worms" to another language
would be problematical here.
E.g. :
- Replace the word "worm" with "player" in the documentation
Well that propably is a good idea as in most cases you don't play a worm
anyway ;-)
- Replace picture of worm with a *new* logo. The best solution is to find
a logo without any person/animal. But I prefer a logo with a funy
person/animal ... but please, no worm !
A new logo would be cool, I don't have anything against a worm though, a
logo with all the available characters in the game would be awesome...
And finally, do you think that we should remove worm skin of "official
release & CVS" and move it to a "goodies" section ? Because we have now
enough skins to replace it ! But I like the skin (it's just too small, but
it's fun).
The worm has nothing common with the original "Worms" worm, don't see
any reason to remove it from the game.
Oh by the way do you have any plans for adding my worm skin to the
non-free skins on the webpage?
Bye, Haypo
