    When is an original knockoff too much like the source material for use?

    While the title of this thread might imply an oxymoron, let me explain: For the sake of argument, a client wishes to include elements in a project which inspire subtle to non-so-subtle homages to known characters. Original artwork, but intended to look like existing characters as a means of...

  9. Is the music in RPG Maker MV safe to use on YouTube?

    Hello, fellow RPG-makers! I had a question regarding the music in RPG Maker MV. So, from my understanding, if we create a game containing a music track from the base game folder (like Battle 3) and include it in our exported game, that game can be played on YouTube without any claims or...

    Copyright Policies From Old Arcade Games

    The protagonist, in my current project, has a cellphone, which I plan to fill with some of the old classics, as a fun easter egg. Does anybody know if I am allowed to make recognizable rip-offs of many of the well known arcade games? Like Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, etc. I was...

    Copyrighted songs that perfectly describe your character/story?

      We all known that copyrighted songs are an abomination in our projects, however doesn't change the fact that sometimes we wish we had specific songs in our games. I tend to come up with most of the story/ideas whenever I listen to some kind of music that gets me in the mood. Occasionally I...

I have read around and I pretty much understand that I can only use RPG Maker graphics within their engines (RPG Maker XP, RPG Maker VX Ace).  But, is it possible to use these graphics on a site?  What if I wanted to showcase screenshots?

    I've just about finished my project and already a business license established for it as well as getting a small web site and BMT Micro setup from the guides I've read up on.  However, the guides aren't quite clear (I may have over looked it) about copyright filing.  Is it safe to assume or...
