Can I just make a sequel to a map or do I need permission?
What if it isn't really a sequel but it is basically the same idea just applied to a different area?

It depends. If it's obvious that it's a sequel, or if you use any special ideas/graphics from the original, you should contact the mapmaker. Why don't you tell us what you're planning on doing? :-s

Doodle Space, looks nothing like the original (Yes I have a draft) but it's clearly the same concept

Well, Evil DIMwit hasn't been on in a while. Probably just putting "Inspired by Evil DIMwit" on the map would be fine.

Looking forward to seeing this. ;)

to me it doesn't have the same concept, its just small amount of territs. i think that this map is very seperate from doodle earth, and it does not resemble it, so i do not think you need permission

Julien way to come in like 3 hours late, after the question has been answered with a incorrect response.

Can a mod lock this?
