Hello! I've been using this site for years to discover games, and I'd like to start programming them. I work with robotics and development, so I've already modeled robots using Gazebo, and I'm a Python and C++ programmer, which means I can bring to life the stories I'd like to create.
Unfortunately, I live in a third-world country, and my money is worth very little. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to hire anyone, and I really would like to produce a game entirely on my own, taking care of the storyline, code, and character design.
I wanted to start with something "simple," which would be a game in Ren'Py with 3D characters made in DAZ Studio. I've already written a script that I believe is suitable for my initial goals.
I will produce the game and release it completely free for anyone to download and edit as they wish without needing to credit me, but I also do not want to be sued by anyone, and I do not want to use other people's intellectual property without proper attribution or permission.
I don't want to pay anything for now; I plan to create a Patreon only when the first version of the game is released. Obviously, I'll put the game here.
I would like to know how the intellectual property works regarding the contents of this site. Do I need to give a portion of the money I eventually earn from Patreon to produce the game? (I really don't believe I'll make much; I'm doing all of this more for fun.) Do I need to thank in the game? Give credits? What do you recommend?
I'm talking about the content found here, for example: https://f95zone.to/sam/latest_alpha/#/cat=assets/page=1
I'll accept any advice or constructive criticism ^^
