ARE REMKES OF GAMES ALLOWED TO PUT HERE?

Of course you can remake your game and upload it here, people do it all the time.

Professional games are treated as a different category from indie games, for better or worse.

Though a remake is also different from a fangame. I think if you made a fan sequel to an RPG Maker game, the only potential problem would be if you were also using its original graphics/audio resources. If you used your own, or public ones, then I assume that should be fine. But you should still probably ask, if the creator is still around. Most will likely think it's awesome, but some might get angry, which would not only cause problems but also defeat the purpose of making it (since you were presumably making it as a tribute).

If it's your own game, that's fine. If it's not your own game, you need to acquire the permission of the original creator. We don't deal in theft, especially when applied to whole games.

What about say for a fangame such as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. I see plenty of those around here that have not acquired the permission of the original creator in that sense.

As LockeZ said, there's a world of difference between fangame and remake. Granted, there are those who have tried to recreate the games of their youths - such as the FF7 2D remake (which is freakin' awesome) but the line blurs when it comes to recreation of a well-known story who everyone knows the creator of, vs an old RPGMaker game where not many know the creator and can assume that the person presenting it is the one and same.

I think it could be mitigated by putting disclaimer before game begins that says this is remake of game X originally made by Y (where X/Y is replaced by game's name and author, respectively). But I agree that you should ask author first if he is still around.

Anyway this is moot point as author is making remake of his/her own game which is perfectly fine in my book.

I don't see the problem with re-making something you made. I would even go so far as using the same gamepage, but keeping the original download up as a kind of comparison factor. As for the review, it would be considered out-of-date, since it would be for the original iteration rather than what would (eventually) be considered the "official" version until/unless you decide to update that.

But, really, in the end, I don't see the issue.


*Edit: I guess the one oddity is the images. You'd have to separate the new images from the old. Minimally by making an edit to the "old" image descriptions to note them as such. I'm... sorta assuming you're going to need new images.

You can have multiple downloads for a single game, for the record.
