Hi, I'm currently working on a 2dcg visual novel. No 3d movement, just still images. I have written the story and characters. Now I'm designing the models for characters and I'm facing a challenge. See, I have written a character that perfectly fits Ciri from Witcher, meaning she can travel between worlds, fight monsters etc..
I got this beautiful model from renderhub
But, It has IP restrictions. It does not allow commercial license meaning I can't use her to promote my game, or earn profit from it. At least that's what I think it means.
It's resemblance to original Ciri is uncanny. I'm facing the dilemma of, should I use it in my game? What if CDPR copystrikes this? What steps can I take to avoid the copyright meaning changing the color, shape of assets,
replacing the face or clothes.
Even then is a little resemblance enough to be problematic?
Or should I just man up and don't compromise.
Keep in mind that,
I will be posting this game only on Patreon. My country doesn't support other sites payment methods.
What is the history of Patreon in matters like this?
