Question about ZUN's copyright
« on: February 26, 2012, 02:53:55 AM »
I'm making a Touhou RPG-type game; I read ZUNs copyright, and I have a question.

We're not allowed to actually sell games or anything with ZUN's official music in it, correct? You have to make your own music that is allowed to have a similar tune/beat/ect..? (Like what IOSYS and COOL&CREATE do)

Thanks! I just wanted to clarify on it.

(I wasn't sure which thread to put this in, but since it's related to a work-in-progress fangame I'm making, I picked this forum.)

You're not allowed to use resources (that means graphics, music, sounds1, etc.) straight from an official game/data file

However, you can make your arrangements of the music, you can make your own sprites and drawings of the Touhou characters and sell those in a game you make.

Otherwise I'm pretty sure Reitaisai wouldn't exist.

1 Unless a sound in the game is from a free soundbank (packs of sound effects), in which case get them from the soundbank along with many other sounds :V
