I hope my question is not to dumb, but I am a developer, not an artist and I rely heavy on cpre-created assets (like craftpix.com) for my art.
Now there is a gamejam on and I really want to complete my project, a mixed together some art and I am happy, however there are tons to do stilll. So i decided to continue my game with silly replacement art, mostly done in MSPAINT to complete the game and the logic, then I will worry about the art later.
Does a company have a copywrite to things like the story and quest? NPC names? I was just curious if someone took a game and completely redid everything but the quest text, is that illegal? Take for instance if someone created a game like Ultima or Everquest and kept the names of the cities, NPCs and storyline does that go against their rights to the game? I know the client and assets are protected, but what about everything else?
My friends and I were discussing on another forum how this place has really bad system administration.
Acording to my friends, they sys-admin refuses to move to another message forum software. Basically this place was hand-coded in Drupal. The main problem with that is users of firefox (a major browser.) can no longer post messages on the forum. It is really bad, and makes the forum look really bad. Someone wanted to post the the FLARE forum and asked basic things like "Why can't I use firefox to post to the FLARE forum? "
I have been using OGA for quite some time now. And during the time i have been here i have witnessed some drama on fold between various users, for many reasons. Most of the reasons are generally over licensing issues on user uploads. Most are sorted out relatively well, but some result in users being banned due to behaviour issues or continuing actions after fair warnings.
I have no idea if this will finally work now that im on a laptop but if I try and post on a ios tablet and hit save it doesnt post it just opens a blank page and the post is never posted. I also wanted to add that on the ipad choosing desktop site menu option in chrome changes nothing it still isnt posted.
