DMCA's Sky (originally released asNo Mario's Sky) is a 2016open worldplatform game developed by ASMB Games forMicrosoft Windows,OS X, andLinux. AsNo Mario's Sky, it was afangame of bothSuper Mario Bros. andNo Man's Sky.[1][2][3]
DMCA's Sky combines gameplay elements ofside-scrollingplatform games likeSuper Mario Bros. andopen world space exploration games likeNo Man's Sky.[1][2][3] The player controls anastronaut named Finn who uses a futuristicspacecraft to travel betweenprocedurally generated planets.[4] Gameplay primarily takes place on these planets, where Finn can run, jump, and find collectibles in a similar fashion to theSuper Mario series.[2]
In August 2016, soon after the release ofNo Man's Sky,No Mario's Sky was created by ASMB Games, a team based inAustralia, forLudum Dare 36 in 72 hours.[1][5] The team consisted of Alex McDonald (art and sound director),[6] Sam Izzo, Max Cahill, and Ben Porter.[6][7]
Nintendo sent aDigital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice toItch.io on 4 September 2016, requesting thatNo Mario's Sky be removed due to it infringing "Nintendo's copyrights in itsSuper Mario video game franchise, including but not limited to the audiovisual work, images, and fictional character depictions".[8] In response, the official page forNo Mario's Sky was updated to indicate that the game was no longer available, and the downloads for the game were replaced with a link to the DMCA notice.[9] On 5 September, the game was re-released asDMCA's Sky, with all in-game elements and terms that directly referencedSuper Mario replaced with non-copyrighted counterparts.[5][10]
ASMB Games released a prototype calledDeep Sky as aspiritual successor to the game, later stating that further development had been stalled due to lack of funding.[4][11]
