I'm TREND and I really want to play this game. What happens if TREND plays a game designed for TRUE DOOM MURDERHEAD? Are there repercussions? Game looks great but as TREND, I need to know what kind of risks I'm taking by edutaining myself. Thanks in advance!

I just found the coolest thing on Wikipedia article on Barkley Shut Up and Jam!: The Japanese region version of the game is titled Barkley's Power Dunk (バークレーのパワーダンク Bākurē no Pawādanku) I hope that the new Barkley game is thoughtful enough to include the Japanese translation for key terms as well. I'd love some アイスクリーム (aisu kurīmu for the idiots in the audience)

As TREND, the biggest risk you can take is being unprepared for your new excursion. Do you have an adequate supply of pocky? If your supplies are low you may look into buying a bulk shipment. Additionally, due to your TREND nature, your constitution is going to be very frail. To adjust for this, you will need at least 4 dakimakuras around you while playing in order to soften the blow. Do not skimp and get TREND dakimakuras, as they will not provide an adequate level of protection.

I borrowed some Pocky from my STONER neighbor, crushed them into a fine powder, mixed them with Crisco, stripped, and smeared the resulting paste over my entire body. I splurged on 7 TRUE DOOM MURDERHEAD dakimakuras and have adhered them to my Pocky-slathered form. Right now I'm sitting in front of my computer in total darkness, where I will remain, motionless, until the game is released. Thanks again for your help!

We have new stretch goals!quote:You guys have demolished our current stretch goals so we've decided to add more. I want to reemphasize that every dollar we get lets us work on the game full-time for longer. We want to work on this game for about a year; the longer we can work full-time means the more content and the higher quality content this game will get. The funds we get now let us plan ahead for the game's future and build content this game wouldn't otherwise have. The stretch goals we have planned represent just some of the things we'll be able to do with this money, so check them out!

I've been wondering, though. I admit I'm not too familiar with copyright laws, but the Homestuck music team was able to legally do a cover of an Aerosmith song and that's not exactly an operation that's rolling in dough (at least not until recently, pfffff). Is it cheaper to get the rights to cover a song rather than licensing it outright, or am I dumb? I will love this game no matter what but the Space Jam theme was so...important to the first game.

Unless I am mistaken, you don't need licensing rights at all if you just want to cover or remix a song.

The first few Guitar Hero games didn't use actual tracks, they used admittedly very accurate cover bands that matched as much as they could. It was, presumably, much cheaper. The first game in the series was made on a budget of $1 million, so figure out how many songs GH1 had and then try to figure staff and other costs and then do some division and hey you got yourself a ballpark for what they'd want for remix rights maybe? Once they made bank, they were able to buy the actual tracks. Squiggle fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Dec 14, 2012 |

A cover of the Space Jam theme just wouldn't be the same. These new reward tiers are amazing. I'm seriously considering upping my donation from just the basic $10 to possibly even the $100. I didn't think I would want a Cyberdwarf body pillow but the more I think about it, the more I believe it is a good idea.

Getting the rights to the melody and lyrics of a song (for a cover) is a different set of permissions than getting the master recording of that song by a particular artist. Also gently caress Homestuck.

Covers that are made to be near-identical recreations are considered different things than covers and remixes that make significant changes to a work. How exactly they differ in terms of rights, I'm not so clear on, but I do know that there is a distinction. Looking things up, I was apparently wrong in that last post, and derivative works technically do need to get the permission of the original copyright holder. But also Fair Use laws throw a very fuzzy grey area into all of that, so those copyrights could still be circumvented depending upon how the original work is being used.

quote:X114JAM9 awakens aboard the giant space ziggurat Necron 7, but why does he already know who he is? Has he done this all before...? aaaaaaaaa 90k sounds amazing. That has the potential to be the best New Game + ever made. 120k sounds incredible, too. ...I don't even care about the Space Jam theme. I mean, yeah, I'd sit on the Barkley 1 menu screen for five minutes, sometimes, when I started the game up, but that's still there, and $60,000+ didn't need to be allocated to it. I think I'm good. Space Jam'd out. The pledge tiers could still use a little tweaking, maybe. Nobody's buying the high ones.

Briefly and from memory, there's a compulsory license that says you can cover any song you want if you pay the songwriter a standard rate from whatever profits you make from it. This doesn't apply to remixing or sampling a song - you definitely have to secure an agreement with the rights-holders for that.

You send them a notice to let them now you're covering it, and you have to pay 9.1 cents for every copy distributed.

Only 14 days left, they might not even hit $90,000.  Will you release the extra stretch goals after you sell 1 million copies of the game on Steam? I would love to see Lucas Arts style animation, maybe have a CyberDwarf fighter fly past the logo. Yaos fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Dec 14, 2012 |

Also the compulsory cover license is not the synchronization license. To use a composition in a show/TV/game you probably have to secure a permission from the rights-holder, i.e. the songwriter - you can't just get a cover version recorded and pay whatever band did that version. Hence why you don't even see cover versions of Zeppelin songs in Rock Band.

No. We want the email updates to actually be pretty personal and fun to read, so you get as much a sense of the people making the game as you do the game itself. I bet they all say that, but what this literally means is that we're actually going to talk about weird Youtube videos we like and why we think Realms of Arkania and Shin Mengami Tensei: Nocturne are really good and weird rear end nude rom hacks we made a long time ago. Also the game. But nude rom hacks too.

Oh, it's not on the reward panel on the right, but it's in the reward description in the actual Kickstarter text - "In addition to the kickin' tunez, you'll also get VIP access to exclusive behind the scenes updates and content by the ToGsters detailing the progress we've made, what we're working on, what we want to do with the game and anything else we can think of! We want the update to be informal and personal - a letter from us to you, not a dry, boring progress report."

Is there any chance that an attempt to license the Space Jam song could backfire? Is there a chance that upon being contacted with the request, Time-Warner could demand that Barkley 1 be taken down and never made available again, or modified to remove the song and possibly also any references to Space Jam?
