Similar Capcom and Konami are not all that strict unless you hit a field they wanted to go. Unsure on Segas stance, I think they don't care that much as there are that many sonic fan games it hurts. I tend to think that nintendo potentially holds out in some cases looking where stuff goes to either take it out later to send out a message to others or to hire people / buy whole projects. There have been take down letters in the past for their top brands (Mario, Zelda, Pokemon) but on the other hand still exists for example and that although its commercial (there are ad banners). Nintendo is hard to predict and I think its also depending on which Nintendo branch is related to it. The only ones similarly strict and fast on taking stuff down as far as I'm aware are the owners of popular anime / manage IP (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece) which send you letters right away the moment they become aware of your projects existance
Star Wars for example is like asking for the financial end of your life as Lucas Arts doesn't take it lightly, not even for non commercial projects. Sure there will always be things where you get a no. In the end, if you don't ask, it could be lost time at any moment basically, so its up to you to decide if you want to invest time into nowhere Then the best they can do is request random fan art be taken down? that is not likely.Įxactly, but not all companies have a public policy, sometimes only an internal and sometimes one that decides on case to case base It is sneaky but so long as you are not the author of both, there is no legal thing they can do - providing you do not in any way sell it, and you do have different gameplay. That wont cause your game to get taken down, and the graphics pack should be entitled "fan art" and have no relation to the game anywhere and not be hosted in the same place. anonymously uploading the graphics pack elsewhere. making a game using placeholders which require graphicsĢ. You know this quite well, so you can answer all your own questions. There's not predictions on what company tolerates it either. No-one on these forums or the internet can predict if your game will cause them to order you to take it down or not. You can make one for personal pleasure but once you upload it there's no telling what will happen. Fan games are getting cracked down on more and more in recent times due to the fact these developers and publishers re-release their old games and bring out new versions.įan games aren't safe to do.
