    I have a dream video game to make, but there are some games similar to this so... If I make the game and publish everybody will think it is a clone. What to do?

    So what? As long as it's good and not a direct rip-off no one will care.

    Go for it! As long as you're bringing something new to the table, people will be open to it.

    However, if you're new to game development, and your dream game is super ambitious, consider starting small and going from there. Getting overwhelmed is a recipe for failure and abandonment.

    All games can be traced back by a path of clones to the day Adam was a boy (or the days we were still monkeys in trees, if you prefer that approach).

    So just go ahead and make your clone. Ideas hardly make or break a game, there is much more in the implementation then in the concept.
