So why does a new version come from a new developer every year for the Big Brother game?No.
Copyright issues. The project can be bought from the dev, in all cases a permission needs to be given either for free or sold. But then will the next guy be like him or worse? use the fanbase to milk more? or will he be serious but bad storyteller turning the characters to prostitues without personalities?
Other than that, there can be only fan art but without story.
It's good to consider that there is no hope for this story anymore.
Unless there is some way that I write the rest of the story because it's my job, and I know I can do better than xenorav on that matter. But Ethically I prefer not to get involved myself in such things.
I check for his post twice a day. I looked for him some time ago i did not find himView attachment 3948711
it's under review. Why? We had a long discussion a while back. Bottom line is don't hold your breathe. If it comes back, then nice but if not lol we will see. I am just here for Amelie.
A Heartfelt visitWhat's the name of the game?

once is under review basically that page is gone, i have seen artists that 2+ years that are still under review, if he wants support he must start another page in another platform and reach out on twitter so we can at least keep up with his news.View attachment 3948711

yeah there is a high chance it's gone but I think dev can still make it work. That being said, he has to be active though lolonce is under review basically that page is gone, i have seen artists that 2+ years that are still under review, if he wants support he must start another page in another platform and reach out on twitter so we can at least keep up with his news.
This is the one thing that isn't as black & white as many think.No.

I think you're right.This is the one thing that isn't as black & white as many think.
First, if the assets used are free use the user cannot claim those. If this dev made the assets themselves they can claim right to them. If they didn't they cannot.
Daz themselves offers limited licensing.
In some cases (AWAM fro example) the dev has made threats while they themselves have illegally used IP in their work. L&P used everything from Pink Floyd to GTAV in their work so good luck using anyone under the grounds of stolen IP/copyright.
The best and only real argument for copyright with a VN made with Daz and Renpy (freeware) in that of the writing itself. Yes, you would have to edit the previous words written as those are solely the developers.
Finally and most importantly, who are they going to sue? At best they could make a claim with Patreon or whatever payment/hosting company you used but...just don't take money for the work. Thay or use a company that doesn't care about any of that BS. There are options for that.
As for the sued user, good luck finding and suing a Chinese, Indian, British or whatever citizen for porn game IP theft when you aren't also in the country as the person that "stole" it.
In short, it can be done and there isn't a lot that can be done to stop it.
However, I don't advocate for that and even recently wrote that this dev should just sell it wholesale or for a monthly percentage to someone that wants to make it.
If that was refused, then I think it's fair to just continue it without them. They have no real recourse if the new dev did a bit of basic work to remain out of their reach.
