Possible dmca infringement on old game?

Help and Feedback Game Design Support

Back in 2018-2019 I accepted a commission for an animation, which turned into me being a progammer for the game I was animating. The actual creator of the game, Coyotae, was involved with a lot of conflict within his community and Roblox, so his roblox account was banned shortly after publishing the game. Before his ban, I asked him if i may keep a copy of the original game and adjust/remove/change things necessary to make it my own and he gave me permission

I have not spoken to him since 2019 and my question is, if he decides to come back (low chances), and files a dmca report against my game will I still be allowed to publish my version of the game?

Not entirely sure, but I will say this:
Safest bet is to contact Coyotae and ask them permission. If not you can try uploading it anyway, worse that happens is the game is removed

There’s always a chance that the game might be taken down. If you can contact the owner or change some stuff up. But i think you can publish it.

If you were given permission to use copyrighted material, then you should not get into any problems unless the assets used were stolen or broke Roblox guidelines.
