RIPPING SPRITES

Posts

Pages: 1
How much do you need to change a ripped sprite in order for it to be considered your own work? I realize that a palate swap doesn't count, but I'm working on some enemy sprites that are ripped from final fantasy games and I don't want to break any laws to make my game.
If it's RM2k(3), you're already breaking laws.

I don't know, I guess if you could change it to the point that they don't look like the originals anymore, you're fine. But if you can change it that well, you should make your own.

Really, don't worry about that... unless you're planning to sell your game.

You have to draw them from the ground up. No amount of editing will ever make them your own, because you used someone elses work as a base.


That's how I see it anyway.
It's VX, and the game I'm working on now I don't plan on selling, but I'd like to make a commercial one at some point. I am pretty good at editing graphics, but I really can't make them from scratch. Maybe I should just get a book on computer graphics or something.

Thank you though.
Yep, just practice and aim for a simpler graphic style for your first projects.

In my experience, just trying and observing have helped me a lot more than any tutorial ever has.
