So I was once part of a project where I was getting 50% for everything. In that project, my two team members got builds and ui. But something happened and we quit on the project. So if I wanted to go and continue on the project, could I use the builds and ui without any copyright or intellectual property claims? I had access to the builds and ui because it was a group project.
I would consult with the original creators.
Let’s say I was added as a UI designer in a simulator, but the game failed. Could I just take the assets and claim ownership?
The original creators are pretty angry with me and won’t talk to me.
Looks like that’s a no then, technically without consent that would be stealing.
I think you are allowed to use what YOU MADE. If a builder created the build, it’s not yours, you can’t use it.
As the others mentioned, if you made the build or the UI, you totally have the right to use it. If you didn’t make the builds or UI, consult with your former team members, if their mad with you, I wouldn’t use the assets.
If you have the highest share in the enterprise that technically gives you the most power and therefor while it may not be ethical to use the assets I believe you would have every right to use them.
Don’t quote me on this tho.
I had the highest share, 50%. The other 2 had 25.
As such, you have every right to use the assets. If they ignore you and won’t talk to you, ignore them and go ahead. You are in the right.
Even if they made the builds and purchased the ui?
Did they put it in the team-create project with you, and say that it was for the game?
No it was a group game. I had a high rank to edit it.
Were you owner of said group>?
No I wasn’t the owner, but got a 50% payroll.
Who was the owner? Doesn’t he have the majority shares of the game then? Did he hire you?
I was the scripter for the group. The owner was an alt account in case the group got banned for a reason.
So you were the owner of said group? It was your alt account and you hired the other devs?
No it was one of the 2 people’s alt account. I was the scripter of the group, and we were making a new game.
Then I’d side on the side against it. If you were the explicit owner and had hired them and they agreed to work under a % it’d be different, however I am not too sure regarding your current situation
