Question

Copyright and Secondary Use

If somebody publishes their work while "allowing secondary use", do they still retain copyright of their work? I'm hoping the people who made Celeste and Lunar Saviors get to keep the credit and ownership of their own games...

    (Just so you know, Celeste is a port of a PICO-8 game) Well, by uploading to the servers, you agree that your work can be altered or remixed, (for example, sombody makes a level pack for your game) but you are able to take down someone who just copies your game without giving credit.

    Okay, so what if I made characters and a story inside the game, that was original (obviously, because otherwise SmileBoom takes it down), do I retain copyright for those? I'm personally more concerned for my game's characters than the program itself. Btw, hi V360! I was the Owain that was so excited for your Code_Examples coming out soon. Now I followed you on my main xD

    I noticed it said "ported by" on the title. Idk what PICO-8 is, but I assumed Celeste was originally some web-issued game by 2 people, then ported onto SmileBASIC by another bloke. PS: thanks for answering my question(s)

    So, is it different if I used another user MML, even though I've given credit to user.

    Good question. Btw, what does MML mean? I read of it, but never got an explanation of what it was or what it meant. Unless I just missed it.

    Music Macro Language (Type "MML" in run mode and check the [?] help dialog for info.)
