Hey guys!

[YEEART]

YEEEEEA----- I mean, yo! I'm YEEART (if you watch Ninja slayer, you'll get the reference), and I've came here to say hi.

I'll give you guys a bit of information about my fabulous self. One day, I was lucky enough to stumble across a 70% sale on RPG Maker VX ace, and purchased that ASAP! I've been making short 30minutes - 1 hours games for the past year or so developing my story telling, map making, character development/interactions and what not. I'm a rookie. I can't script or anything; makes my game look somewhat plain (I know we got this fab community and all, but I have a feeling that I'll rely on others scripts too much). So I've never had confidence to release a full-fledged game. I'm a solo game maker, so I pretty much have to do everything by myself and I tend to find that I don't have that much time in the world to dedicate myself to game making (exams and what not), but that doesn't prevent me spending a total ~175 hours on this game in the past month. It's fun, and I can't help but make more games. One day, I promise you! I will make a awesome game.

Though, I do have a few questions; mainly on copyright issues and what not. Say if I wish to release a game out to public, but it contains OST's from your mother ship title games (Kingdom hearts, Final fantasy, Bravely Default, Tales of series et cetra.), and also maple story sprites obtained through the program, Bannedstory. Would I need to give credit to those companies? How would I?

Anyway, thanks for wasting a few minutes of your valuable time reading this.

El. Psy. Congroo.

It doesn't matter if you give credit or not, it doesn't matter if commercial or non-commercial:


Using resource where you don't have a licence for is illegal and can get you sued.


You can read on that in one of the copyright discussions here on the board, but the only difference would be how high your fines would be, and you would always have to remove the ripped resource and the game from whereever it was posted as soon as the copyright/trademark holder sees it.


Yes, fangames are also automatic trademark violations...
