Can someone else pick the game up and continue making it?
The dev is still working on this. Well, "working on" actually means fussing over it not being perfect and so reworking again and again. But since the dev is still actively doing stuff with this, no: nobody else should pick the game up to do anything with it. At least, not unless they want to risk a lawsuit or something. (Don't actually know whether Enyo Eerie would file one, but does another dev really want to risk that?)Can someone else pick the game up and continue making it?
normal copyright law.lol, wat makes you believe they have any legal right over this work?
if you didn't register it, then you didn't make it. You can argue otherwise, but good luck proving it.normal copyright law.

Further demonstrating your ignorance. It all depends on the jurisdiction you're in. For instance, in the United States, you don't actually have to have registered something for it to be copyrighted (seeif you didn't register it, then you didn't make it. You can argue otherwise, but good luck proving it.
It's not even a good idea. They'd probably get sued by the Olsen twins instead.
Says someone who clearly knows very little about copyright and how it actually works.

For instance, in the United States, you don't actually have to have registered something for it to be copyrighted (seeYou must be registered to see the links). Enyo Eerie also has timestamps — on Patreon, on this site, etc. — showing that he work greatly predates anyone trying to steal this from him. That alone would be proof enough in a court of law. Again, it depends on jurisdiction, but I would imagine international law is at least somewhat similar.

You can talk about proving otherwise or not all you want. Your statement about registration being required is blatantly false; I already linked two different sources proving you're wrong. Again, you're just showing that you know nothing. But I'm done discussing this. This is starting to go off-topic. I recommend you learn actual law before you try making any legal argument in the future.
okay, Mr. internet lawyer. You're not an actual lawyer, so don't pretend to be. Anyone can look up copyright and paste the same %^&* you did, but you have no clue how the law actually works in practice. I guarantee you 100% that anyone can rip off this game right now and Enyo can do nothing about it.You can talk about proving otherwise or not all you want.

Thanks for your reply.The dev is still working on this. Well, "working on" actually means fussing over it not being perfect and so reworking again and again.

Ah, that's a good point. I had assumed, based on his history in working on this game. But I'm on his Discord and don't see anything newer than 2023. It's definitely possible that he's abandoned it, although I'd say it's equally possible that he's still working on it. I should've said, "I believe the dev is still working on this." What I said above about copyright would still apply — despite what the arguer I put on Ignore might claim — but at this point he might not even pursue anyone trying to steal his work. Then again, does anyone really want to proclaim themselves so uncreative that they have to try to steal this instead of just coming up with their own idea?Thanks for your reply.
However, do we have legit news that the dev is still working on false hero? They even shut down his Patreon account. has he even posted anything in the last 2 years on any platform?
doubt it, all devs keep their privacy tight and at most tell where they live and have support email on website (if has 1).in case anyone has communication channels with him, like an email or phone number,
And what, exactly, would the benefit of choosing Unity specifically bring? This isn't the type of game where you need to run around to discover things or whatever.This game has been marked abandoned for well over a year, more afair. Definitely worth being picked up and remade in newer engine with all the content it deserves. full 3d unity with character customization would take it to next level
Precisely. Plus, there is a practical element to the whole copy right question, available resources are the primary influencing element when it comes to infringing or protecting intellectual property. At the end of the day, very few adult visual novels generate enough money to feed one person, Daz assets, pay for electricity, rent, computer equipment, child support... etc. Taking action on another actor using your IP costs money, alot of money, and probably said actor dosn't have any money to begin with, so...It's a bit of a moot point, though, as anyone with both the skill and the inclination to do so will almost certainly prefer working on their own projects.
