Better News!


I'm not goin to say I"m completely out of the woods yet, but things are definitely looking a lot better.

One thing for sure is that I will be able to continue development on Persona H very soon! Thanks to a good friend of mine, we were able to meet the actions listed by this contact. Turns out, I did (mostly) everything right on my end, since my game is using orginal artowrk, music and voice talent.

So that's great! The name howveer MAY need to be changed. Not sure if that's the case yet, but time will tell. If that day comes, we will start a poll up on the discord and we can all vote together on a new name. My money's on "Purse OwnerH" !

In other news, I have taken this time to reflect on my game a lot, and also research other NSFW games here on itch. There are a lot of elements I would like to either reimagine or reowrk to make more sense. I think it's good to step back sometimes so that I can see the bigger picture easier. I have a ton of new ideas written down that I will be scouring over the next few days.


In other OTHER news, I have been working with a good developer friend of mine on his game( Not a NSFW game ). He is working on getting it into Steam early access, and that has been really exciting for me to see that process and all that goes into it. Not looking at doing this for Persona H, but for future OC games that I make, it's great to learn this toolset now.  His game is an arcadey action like game that is shaping up to be a lot of fun, I might send some love his way by posting stuf for it later, let me know if that's something you would like to see.


Anyway, thanks for all the support from you guys. It's great to have such an awesome community on here, discord and patreon that are always letting me know how much they care about this game and Persona in general.


It's been an awesome journey so far, and I'm stoked to know that I can continue going forward!


Anyway, that's enough from me for now. I can't wait to get my devkit out again and continue coding on this, hopefully I can continue my 0.7.2 progress soon enough.


Thanks again,

Reminds me of that time when the warner brothers were told that they dont own the word "brothers" 

 

Isn't "persona" some term of psychology mumbo jumbo anyways? 

It is but its also referenceing a direct series with the same name so if someone in the gameing community hears the word persona they dont think of psychological first they think of the games. That matters more in copyright cases the technical definitions.

(1 edit)

Thats bonkers, so now not a single game can use the word, i would understand if they used "shin megami tensei" on the title too, "persona" is just a sub line of that series, like "digital devil saga" or "nocturne"

When a game becomes a hit and its referred to a single name such as "persona" and the legal lay man only calls it that then it can become a protected property in only a certain field. You could still use the word "persona" in a games name but it must different itself completely from the main seires thats know by that name. This game saddly wouldnt most likely meet that burden.  A good point to emphasize this point is even though the official name of persona 2 is  "Shin Magame Tensi Persona 2 Innocent Sin" you would only reffer to it as "Persona 2" or "Persona Innocent Sin" in a legal sense all 3 names can be claimed one easily due to being the official name and the other two because of the image you think of leads directly to the first.
