ArmedKevin117 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Got bad news for you. Someone already tried that, and the owners of SAO came down on him for copyright infringement. Not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are more lenient than others, but IF they have explicitly forbidden a mod like this; then you have to heed it lest you want to release it illegally.

nexus8226 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) What if it's not called an SAO mod? Make the town, make the NPC's, and let the player name it via an ingame option. Then we could name it whatever we choOse. Wouldn't that keep you away from copyright infringement? Edited August 8, 2013 by nexus8226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we could name it whatever we choOse. Wouldn't that keep you away from copyright infringement? I don't think using names is the main issue (naming it e.g. Eincrad instead of Aincrad would probably bypass that), it's more like if you're planning to make a complete replica and use assets from their game and so on... this would include written dialogue too. But as long as you make it with Beth's assets, and/or modder's resources; I don't think there should be an issue. There's going to have to be a lot of dodging in this matter, and the end result will probably be very different from your reference, but if you're up for that, then by all means, work it. If I were you though, knowing the end result will differ so much (architecture, dialogue, atmosphere (because of your available assets)), I'd rather design my own town and escape that trouble :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detinc Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I like this idea for the mod, but what you're doing is on the scale of possibly being too large. When you say "put Aincrad in Skyrim", it sounds like you're trying to say "Hey! Let's put a floating castle with one hundred floors, each with a diameter of 100 kilometers, inside Skyrim!" I think a better idea for this mod is to make a pack containing clothes, weapons, armor, and a few character's hairstyles from the anime. This is just replicating certain objects from SAO, and should therefore get the men in black suits off your back. What got them there in the first place was the fact that it looked like you were going to take actual characters and locations and replicate them.

ArchangelZero7 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Definitely wouldn't mind some SAO weaponry in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
