Copyright Help (New to Public Games)

[Agustin]

So, I'm new to releasing games, and I'm starting out a game, and there are two main things that worry me. I'm new to copyright, so am I able to just put it in the bottom of my main menu or in credits, or do I have to directly state it. It's game music, too, so do I credit the game (Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest), the game maker (Square Enix), or the game publisher (Nintendo)?

The second thing that bothers me is the fact that I have some amazing battlers that I found, that unfortunately, I don't know who created.

Here are some of them, if people know who they belong to or what I can do, please tell me.



















Thank you!

there are a lot of discussions about this on the forum, you just should have searched for copyright before posting.

The short version:

Credits don't matter - using ripped resources (musics, pictures or whatever) without a licence (obtained before use, not after) is illegal copyright infringment and will get you into trouble if the original copyright holder ever detects your game.

Thank you, if you've seen the sprites before, could you tell me, that's what I really need.

I'll move this to Resource Requests then.  General Resources is for sharing, not asking.
