Ask a Question / Space Invaders - Copyright - Dont want to be sued
« on: March 21, 2014, 03:29:52 am »
So I’m learning Stencyl its fun and I enjoy it.
I loved space invaders as a child...So I thought I’d make my own, but then it occurred to me was if I wanted to release Space Invaders 2.0....what if any copyright would there be....surely with the flappy birds clones there must be some legal issues here.
I have had a search on the forum and read a few of the posts that came up, and the obligatory Google searching and there is nothing to stated clearly that if you do this the consequences are x,y,z.
Has anyone had an experience with this. Do you just need to change a few things eg name:
(Space invaders from not outerspace /3.0 not a clone of the 80's space invaders please dont sue me)
.... and a few touches here and there and your good to go?
post your thoughts below
