I hate when people don't acknowledge other peoples work and instead make claims like "All programming and music composition is by me.". They should ask for the permission BEFORE posting/using the copycat version, not after they get caught.

For the record, I like your version better.

Thanks, and yeah I was kinda annoyed. Normally something like this wouldn't bother me in the least; however, he is making a profit from this game, so it's not quite so cut-and-dry. Anyway I let it go over a year ago.. it would suck if he actually accidentally copied chunks of it and whoops, someone else's song idea. What, should I demand like 10 bucks from him?

yet this happens all the time. in another thread, this guy posted this and someone else brought up that i wrote the music, and people just ignored that and were like "wow your music is way better than before" after that post :X Not to start a witch hunt or anything--this game is pretty much dead anyway.

I see. I really like the soundtrack and that gave me an idea for a game. This is not a mega man but a platformer with some shooting elements (I mean many weapons you can select). I need to put my ideas on paper and sketch it. If it does go forward, I really want to use this soundtrack and will ask proper permission.

For now, I don't expect something anytime soon since I don't have time for my previous projects anyway
