Edit Reason: typo

I would be taking the original COLOBOT game, adding some modifications, and after that I would gradually add updates to it.
Some of the planned modifications:
-A scenario type that has a randomized terrain, decorations, aliens, items, objectives, etc. My last game has randomly generated planets and randomized advanced alien civilizations, so figuring out how to do it in COLOBOT should be my only problem. The C++ coding I did once in another game also involved randomization.
-Lots of new planets/scenarios; I have experimented with map-making in COLOBOT several years ago, so I already know how to do it somewhat, I'll just be a bit rusty.
-Possibly new bots/items/aliens, though probably farther in the future.
-Possibly scenario/storyline that is the player VS an antagonistic robot colony.
What I probably WON'T be doing:
-New graphics/textures for objects or terrain.
-Modifications of original missions or objects, except for compatibility with new ones, if added.
If I can do it, then the first version will probably be ready from 3 weeks to 3 months from when I started. The first version will probably only have new maps (and possibly the random scenario type), I will add more to it later.
Because the game will be for the most part, original COLOBOT, I'm not sure if I can legally do it even if I don't name it COLOBOT.
I'm not at my house right now and so what I can do on this computer is limited; I can't view the license, view the source code, or do much else but use this website until I return home (December 26th, 9:30 PM EST).
