— Haha yeah, I guess vader and iron man are pretty obvious candidates for lawsuits. I think the ultraman one should also be one. Ya, I am really confused about the halo one. The other two I think I can get away with......haha but I guess they themselves might not get much attention cause maybe not many people will be able to tell which famous characters or people they are from.

— Thanks for the compliment!

Nickorama, newt, roberto, PurohanPirilu, Grandpa, — and everyone else kind enough to view this.

Since I most probably won't be using the designs anymore, I thought I might just post them here and see what you guys think. Sorry it's been a few days.

This is the original design

And here are the others....hmmm.....see if you can guess each of them correctly, although that might not be too hard

Haha do you guys think I could possibly get away with using any? I think I could use the racing helmet...but not sure about the rest though....

granpa and —, Hahaha absolutely brilliant!

— Ya I guess you are right on that. In the hands of lawyers, even a 10% similarity will be made into a big issue. Guess I will have to come out with new designs and play it safe.

— Yes, that's very true. I guess the million dollar question is to what degree of similarity can we create the characters that as you say makes it instantly recognizable, yet avoiding a law suit. I just got feedback from my lawyer friend and he says that there is no clear line or definition in this. I guess it depends on the personal views of the judges.

roberto, yup I definitely plan to.

Thanks — Ya, it mostly seems to be the case. Haha people only get angry when you get famous, cause they only know about you that way.

— Thanks, it definitely seems better to play it safe as it is still an infringement. Coincidentally, I just came back from a futsal session.....and found out one of our members is a lawyer, so I asked him about it and he said he will check and get back to me soon. What I asked him is, how much of a change do we need to edit before we are legally safe to use it. For example, 50% design changes or the color scheme must be entirely different, etc etc. Hopefully it might be something I can work with, or I will have to come up with 5 entirely original designs for my characters. Will post any update once I know.

Hi guys, I am not clear on this so I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this.

My game is almost complete now, and I am planning to release it on GooglePlay with income only from advertisements. My game has a section where you can change the character skin or design. The default character design is an original. The 5 others, well I am taking it from famous characters and modifying them a bit. Characters like Darth Vader, Iron Man and even UltraMan. The characters are all in a ball shape so it only has the designs of their head. Is this ok to have this in my game?

I notice that many games do the same, taking advantage of famous characters and people. I would like to know if there are any implications in doing this, or is there anyway around it?

PixelRebirth, thank you so much for this! You've helped a confused guy along. Haha soon will be fingers crossing time!

If you want an ebook to learn, you can actually download the manual. It is super useful, but I would recommend you look at tutorials to get you quickly into playing with C2, If you hit a roadblock with a certain feature, you can look it up in the manual and get a better understanding of it.

Ya, I believe there are quite a few beat em ups made from the community. You can try looking from the link below.

Level designs!! For me, I won't say hate, but it gets realllllyyyy tiresome after a few dozens.

First few levels....hehe this is so much fun

about the 10th level.....I am going to test and challange the players mind!

About the 20th level.......err...I'll just copy a few designs from the earlier and combine with some new.

After the 30th level.......For Each (Level): copy, paste, mix

Haha. I gave it a try and had a look at the events...(which made my eyes . I will try to take another look soon to better understand it, or wait for your next capx that is commented. But without a doubt, this will be of great help to many.
