It's fine to use public domain images and make money off of them; the policy applies whether we make money or not.

I'm the same way; it's fine, though.

@Source

Oh. Dang. Poopy.

I don't understand. That would be legal, yes.

But it was bound to happen because that's just a by-product of asking someone to do something.

@Source

I'm just saying that instead of getting an original artist, just use the art we can find, make the game free, then include a way to buy, with real money, one or more forms of in-game currency. That kind of gets around the whole copyright for images stuff unless I'm just completely wrong. I haven't looked into that.

I'm fine asking people for things, I just don't like asking for too much. I'm like that with everyone. I have a personal linit on how much I ask others for before I feel bad and can't help it.

We can use anything to make money, but we can't use other peoples' art, unless it's free.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Don't worry about it. I like doing this kind of thing.

@Source

So in-app purchases?

If you say so. Doesn't make me feel any more comfortable doing it, though.

*Nods*
That's true. It can't hurt.

@Source

Good. Good.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

It's not a big deal. If I can do something you would think is cool, why not? I can make more than one game, too.

@Source

True. Just don't want to be asking everything of you.

We wouldn't be able to make any money off of it unless all the assets were original. Which means we'd need all the art to be either free use or made by us. Unless blitz, as the best artist among us, is willing to do the art for every included character, we'd have to make it free because we'd be using copyrighted images. Music would be easier because there's a lot of non-copyrighted music out there, but...
It'd also probably have to be single player only since, unless apple or android or both have some sort of system where app makers can use their servers, we'd have to put up money for a server to run it on for multiplayer.
I'm assuming the game you're talking about is one of those "battle card games" where the characters are cards that can level up and you battle them against generic enemies? Otherwise I'd have to look into the game.

@DarkwolfX37

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it would be within the realm of legality to make the money off in-app purchases (as much as it pains me to say that) and not for purchase of the game itself, since that knvolves buying products within the game? Can't explain my thought process on that very well.

It can start as single player and, if enough money is made on the game, that money can be invested into servers.

It is a battle card game, which is part of what would make it simple for David. It's got unique features to it though that makes the "generic enemies" thing only really true for when you're grinding.

It would. What's hard about mobile is that the market is oversaturated, but I'll make it for you.

@Source

Not for me. Please, for the love of everything, don't do it only because I suggested it. Do what we as a group like the most.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Like I said, I'll make it if I can. Hopefully it'll take me less time than Sword & Shield.

@Source

It's not out of the realm of possibility to maybe make some money off of mobile MR game, either. If it's fun enough, then people will enjoy it even without the extreme level of background we have with the world. I'd certaibly share it with friends, since everyone has a phone these days.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I'll make a game with any mechanics you guys want.

@Source

It'd be easy for you, tbh. A DBZDB clone would essentially only require:
•Images of characters and photoshop, probably. Animations wouldn't even be necessary.
•Simple yet effective and fun combat.
•Really, nothing else I can explain could help much until you play for yourself and see how it is. I was thinking with you in mind, trying not to ask for a whole lot.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I can do either. Let me know what you want and I'll get it made. But if it's a mobile, I'd have to get it approved by Apple for you to be able to play it.

@Source

Just take a look at the game and decide if it'd be something you'd want to do. I'm not the one doing the heavy lifting, and I'd be happy with any form of MR game.
