Legal and Ethical

Legal issues
-Music/sound effects licensing
-Using pre made game engines
-Development kit licensing

Copyright issues:
  • Music & Sounds effects
Resolution: we are able to compose the music on our own, or hire a musical team to do it for us, which may well be cheaper than any copy right licence. sound effects also can be recorded by ourselves.

  • Game Engine
Resolution: Develop an original game engine.

Ethical issues
-Visceral combat
-Violence
-Expletive
-Religious symbolism


Ethical issues resolution:

  • Visceral combat, violence, expletive and religious symbolism: These are all part of our game. Many people may find these issues disturbing or offensive, however the choice to play the game is ultimately theirs. out game is appropriately rated for a mature audience and the choice to play is the consumer's

Obscene publications act:
even though our game is rated 18, the style of the game and the content leaves little room for explicate content. there will be minimal sexual and mature content, considering the genre of the publication, thus allowing us to avoid these issues.

Liable/slander
Our game features a fictional world and subsequently an original cast of purely fictional characters, unrelated to any real world figures.

How to avoid ethical questioning
All appropriate information related to in game ethics would be available before purchase, allowing consumers to make an informed choice about purchasing the product.

PEGI: 18
