I don't plan for my game to become the next big thing. I just want to create and release a simple game first to motivate myself that I can do it, to show it off to my friends/family, and perhaps make a little money from ads.
I'm just unsure about the legal issues and costs. I'm tight on money at the moment, so wondering how necessary trademarks and a company really are.
Would be very helpful to know so I consider even releasing a game in the first place if there's more hassle than expected. Thanks for any help.
