So... I think it may be best if this question is specifically addressed to @Kara, as I'm really looking for an official Monomi Park view.
A little while back I brought up the idea of a retro-style, and moddable, prequel to the game, here:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9252Having since purchased RPG Maker VX Ace, I now would like to seriously ask: What would be the official position on a *not for sale* fan RPG in the Slime Rancher universe, given three very important points:
-1- NOT FOR SALE. There is a community for hosting free games. Selling a fan game would blatantly break copyright and IP laws, so that will never be a factor.
-2- A clear statement of Monomi Park's ownership of IP. An explicit list of terms would probably be best.
-3- Nothing clearly defamatory or objectionable.
Just to lay everything out here, I have a few ideas that I think may be fun, but I'm not entirely sure I would be able to carry these out. I would also be talking about a small "labor of love" fan game. I'm not a publisher.
If Monomi Park would prefer to avoid any potential IP conflict, I would rather just nip this in the bud.
Thank you.
