Hi! Please move this if it's in the wrong forum.


I haven't been able to find a concise answer about this through Google, but I'm basically wondering if it's legal to use copyrighted music in your game if you're not making money off it. Would you have to get permission or would it be legally ok if you didn't?


And similarly, if you made a fan game (let's say if I made a game about like Game of Thrones or something, all the art and everything done by myself but the story and characters aren't mine), if I acknowledge that this is a fan game of something I don't own and I'm not making money off it, would that be legal?


I do know that use of copyrighted material in forms of entertainment for the purpose of parody is actually legal.


Thanks!

Don't forget, aspiring writers: Personality isn't what your characters do, it is WHY they do it.
Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
