Currently wondering what to do for proximity prompt UI’s in my game, and I got very inspired by GTA 5, now I’m wondering am I even allowed to do something like this? I’m not really aware about any User interface copyright laws, I just don’t want to get sued over something as simple as this and if so how much would I need to change it?
I think you need to give it some context: if the rest of your game looks just like gta v, then continuing to make all the ui look like it also is probably increasing your risk of trouble. If your game is about something else, then no worries, no one is going to chase you for just having a similar style ui.
As a side note, while your image looks fine, I’ve always thought gta v’s mix of menus on the pc was awful, it feels like a console ported to pc at the last minute without much thought for ui design (which is pretty much what happened).
Nah, the game is nothing like GTA in it’s gameplay besides the gunfights, but I really like the GUI from GTA 5 so I wanted to make some stuff like the minimap and proximity prompts like it. I just like it’s simplistic look.
