Kryce-Online; Ambardia; SilverDaleYes you can, after creating your own material with your own copyrights and making it good enough fo rpeople wanting to pay for it.

cook Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 To make money off an eclipse made game does every piece of content need to be custom made or can you use eclipse content as well? Obviously a good game would require you to make your content from scratch but is it legally necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cook Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 No way…so you would have to completely redo everything in order to create a game that you could make money off of? Where does it say that those are copyrighted? From what I've read your aloud to use everything that comes with the creator. It just doesn't make sense for somebody to create a game without the final outcome being that they could possibly make money off it if its good enough. Please dont take offense to this reply, Im simply trying to figure out the legal aspect of creating a real mmorpg, one that you could potentially make money off of. I appreciate your quick replies and any info you can offer on the subject as well as any links to verify the legality of using the defualt GUI and GFX.

MasterBit13 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Well the images are copyrighted. If you try and charge people to play the game, you will get sued. However you can get donations & ad revenues.Hire a composer & gfx artist team spend a few years learning VB6/Sadscript and you'll make a good game.Look at Kryce-Online. With custom graphics & music, he could make a killing. (Maybe if it was browser based..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
