Name of game?
« on: October 23, 2014, 05:58:55 »
I've noticed the forum url has changed which makes me wonder if the game will now be called Shinobi life online.  If that's the case, while i was googling to see footage of the community test i came across a few other things with a similar name. 
One looks like a really shitty gameboy graphic rpg game being made by what seems like a bunch of young teenager friends called Shinobi Life, i can't find the site anymore but i assume that they wont make it far and copyright issues wouldn't exist with them anyway.
But then i came across this http://www.mangahere.co/manga/shinobi_life/.  Apparently Shinobi Life is a manga from a few years ago about a ninja who protects a princess who one day fails to protect her & ends up in the bottom of a lake where he is teleported to the future. Further looking into it shows that the author, Shoko Konami, has roughly 4-5 mangas that are somewhat popular, with Shinobi life as his most popular. Im not a reader of manga so im not to sure how many readers is a lot for non-mainstream mangas but i believe it has roughly 20k views on just one site.

Idk if this could be a problem but if the game has gone through a name change & the names are similar, could there not be copyright issues?  i dont want to see this game go down so id thought id bring this to the attention of any mods/team for them to decide if its any threat.

This whole post is only relevant however if the game's name has changed, does anyone know if the name has changed?

Yes, the name change is still incomplete. It will be completed until the DM.

And Vreg knew about that manga before choosing the new name, so I assume he doesn't think it can be a problem.

The way trademarks work is, they are reserved for specific categories, i.e. Shinobi Life is reserved as manga title in the manga market. However, it can still be used in markets such as games, restaurants, stores, music, movies,...

We are pretty much the first game to use the name "Shinobi Life Online". Also, the name change is incomplete and will be completed asap.
