I’m considering adding weapons inspired from the game Pixel gun 3d to my Zombie Game.
Would there be any copyright issues, because I see some pixel gun games that have more pixel gun content than my game would on the platform, and there doesn’t seem to be any copyright action against those games.
Just asking for feedback on this, thanks
Also here’s a preview (so there would be something to showcase lol):
The other games I’m talking about are Bloxel Gun and the Pixel Gun Tower Defense game
There shouldn’t be any issue, what a lot of people don’t realize is that you can’t copyright a style.
There isn’t an issue. Copyright is only for that specific “work of art”. Ex: you couldn’t use the exact same design.
I’m considering using a very similar or almost direct mesh/textures from the game (Using similar or same names of the weapons).
I might just slightly alter the brightness/contrast of the entire texture, do you think that would go against copyright? (since other games I’m guessing use the exact same texture and meshes)
I think you can add pixel guns to your game, yes. You can’t really copyright a theme/style.
Even for completely identical meshes?
If you were to use the same mesh/textures that would fall under what’s protected by copyright. The names of the weapons don’t matter especially if they are generic. In general, I don’t advise using the same textures + mesh because:
Do you think I could slightly alter the texture and mesh to be able to use it?
