Hi! I've some news about Splash Box but first, I need to introduce what it is.
What is Splash Box Splatoon Meta?
It's a 2D port of the popular Nintendo game named Splatoon 2 using the engine and characters from my previous game named BigBlackBox. The main goal is to ink the most amount of turf with your team's color.

Leveling system and currency: Each game mode rewards you with coins and Experience. The maximum level possible is 99, the bigger your level is, the harder your games will be. The better your score is, the bigger your Experience reward will be. Coins can be used to buy weapons at the shop, hats and food (food can be used to level up faster).
Games modes:
Turf war, the team that ink the most amount of turf in their own color wins.
Pro matches, info coming soon
Bot war, The Robots that were created to help Boxes turn out to be reprogrammed as killer AI by R.O.D.O.T. ROBOT Inc. Help your boss to clean this mess up and collect the amount of microchips needed in time without dying. If one of your teammates die, ink him quickly to bring it back to action. If all of teammates dies, it ends there.

I decided to change to characters of the games. Now It's no longer a rip-off but a 2D port of Splatoon
I'm also searching for pixel artist and programmers. If you like Splatoon and you would like to work on that project, contact me on discord. Here's the new mockup of SplashBox.

I don't think nintendo would be particularly thrilled if you just use their name, and thus IP like that, so I'd recommend picking a name which doesn't contain "splatoon"

I wasn't planning to change anything unless nintendo wants me to but the more I think of it... Splatbuino? Splatuino? I want the name to be related to it and not completly different

I like Splatuino as title it's short and it's good for me. You can easy understand that is something like Splatoon but it's not a stolen name. I was like you when i have try to code the game 'parachute' i didn't think about Nintendo as there is alot g&w emulators and i think that it's now in the public domain but i should have think about that before too to avoid problems ...
Your game will be able to play as muliplayers ?

For the number of players, I'll start with 2vs2 and If I can I'll do 3vs3 or 4vs4. You can play against bots in the classic mode, but I'll probably add a real multiplayer feature later. Same thing for the Salmon Run mode.

The game engine needs a ton of improvement. I'm currently re-coding the game to support a better particle system, bullets and multiplayer.
NEW 7 years ago
Nice news 2vs2 is great, more is fine too but already 2 real humans in vs or coop is already good, managing 3 or 4 real humans in 2 teams or vs great too and more players are unusual. I hope you'll success find solutions, it's could be a fine multiplayer game.

It depends on the size of the map. I don't want it to be too crowded but bigger maps takes longer to make.
