yeah... so if i dont sell it and stuff i shouldnt get in trouble with copyright stuff. anyway does anyone have any good fma sprites? i guess i could make some but they probably woudnt turn out too good. if this thread is still here then i will post the test version here. ive started programming some stuff... but i need the graphics.

Are you really making it? OMG...
Well... I might be able to help with the graphics... I am studying Digital imaging...

really? thank youuu! i am just editing some ripped naruto sprites right now. it will probably be just some crappy rpg-style game. i thought isometric might be cool, but i have very little understanding of isometric. yaaaay! i am making progress very slowly.

Please tell me when you're done!!!

okay! I am working on it right now... theres sort of a bug though cause when i make ed walk, the animation goes really really fast.... i cant make it slower! xD i really dont get this program much. it is my first try at a game though.

Wow.. I demand to try it when you're done!! Haha, could I try next time? I'm sorry, I dont have the right programs to make sprites or anything. Good luck though!

yay! this is gonna take a while.... but i promise i wont be like vans and log off for a billion years... i will finish it xD and actually i did find some ripped edward sprites from someone.

you should probably find the sprites on the net and edit them (credits)... they are easier to start off with

(I CAN HELP!)

you will? thank you!! err with what though? i really cant find any fma sprites... i want some roy and al ones. if you can find any could you give me a link? thanks!

FMA sprites

This website might help you:
sprites

If you are putting the games on a website for people to play online/download for free, as long as you credit the indivudal series properly (ie. Fullmetal Alchemist by Arakawa Hiromu, and perhaps include a list of characters in FMA) you won't get into trouble ^^

Oooh, can I help? I can draw. And I could probably make sprites. Never tried.

Oh, forgot to say this... note that whatever you have done with the game, even if you are not selling it and whatsoever, it's STILL illegal. It's just that not selling, and not using music that are already copyrighted, will less likely get you sued.

...how is it illegal? it's like fanart or something. fanart isn't illegal.

@Annelili - Unless I'm mistaking somehow, I think every time when you use copyrighted material without the copyright holder's permission, that's illegal. That's what the copy right is for.. saying "this is my material, and I hold the right to it, please don't use it without my permission."
It's highly unlikely that you will get in trouble for using it in fanart. Nonethless, I think it's a good thing that you will be aware of this, and I think that's what armor-alchemist is saying.
(Oh, and be particularly careful if you want to use some commercially available music. )

I'm pretty sure that if one gives credit to the original source to the various parts it is the same as fanfic or (perhaps more accurately) an AMV.
