adding to what Slothien and Troid said. I’ll let you know that names CAN’T be copyrighted. Concepts can. Brands and names are Trademarked, which follows a completely separate regulation.
And yes, while the Met in MetEngine hints it’s designed to make Metroid-like games, it doesn’t have any Nintendo-copyrighted content on it, therefore, Nintendo can’t do a thing to stop it. If YOU use Nintendo copyrighted content to design a game with MetEngine, then it’s YOU breaking the DMCA, not me.
Very true. IS the source going to be released, I mean, the GM one?
That’d be nice, I think I could lean from some bit’s of it. Help improve my own metroid engine. Oh, you want to see? (rapidshare.com/files/56081862/TE … SEEKER.exe)
well now that the GM version is being discontinued, maby you guys could consider ripping the sprites and tiles and stuff out and replace them with blocks, and release the source code.
