New gameplay or widely different gameplay. The game is no
longer based on the 4X strategy genre.
COMPLETELY NEW GAME

assets (UI, graphics, scenes, characters, etc.) is necessary. It is still
a 4X-strategy game.
SAME GAMEPLAY - DIFFERENT ASSETS
NEW ASSETS
The science fiction setting and travelling space are no longer
mandatory. But core assets like the Ark and main characters
remain.
SIMILAR ASSETS - DIFFERENT SETTING
NEW SETTING

example healing a colony instead of liberating it.
SAME SETTING - DIFFERENT STORY
NEW STORY
The player has to fullfill a different kind of task in order to
complete a mission successfully. However, the outcome is
the same > libeartion of colonies.
SAME STORY - DIFFERENT MISSONS
NEW MISSIONS
