I’m planning to create a mini car racing game where you can also customize your car. Do I need permission from top manufacturers of accessories like Konig and American Racing wheels if I’m going to copy their products?
That’s not how such things work. You can’t just cancel a contract because you feel like it.
If you cant afford attorneys dont do it. If you cant afford licensing dont do it.
if you spoof it. Spoof all of it. Table top racing is a mini car racing game that does this really well.
I wouldnt go near a brand without expecting some type of a challenge.
spoofing someone elses spoof is starting to get into strange territory.
For a large brand your more than likely going to look at a pre approval stipulation.
Meaning they will look over your design, and gameplay before giving you their stamp of approval.
some brands may pay you for product placement. Oil cans on the shelf, premium tool box upgrade, upgrade tires to…
Wow. That’s a lot of useful info guys. Thanks! Never thought about legalities. Will just create my own designs.
