We knew it was going to happen, GOA is no longer featured on BYOND's main page same for the other copy righted games and such. I'm sure GOA will keep its same audience but gain less than it usually would but maybe gain some players from referring and google. But I don't see why NEStalgia is featured on the front page when it's just a clone of Dragon Warrior renamed.

Don't think I haven't halfway considered it a few times.

Also: "This game is publicly listed and searchable in BYOND Games, but not featured."

Really, couldn't you just use the japanese words for everything and avoid Japan's copyright by being outside of the region, and America's copyright because .. well it's in japanese?

Or am I wrong about that?

Well besides words not being under copyright (That's trademarks: And probably only applies to the series names, a few major characters, and MABYE the "Chidori" and "Rasengan" names.)

Really most of the basic jutsu names are incredibly generic if you translate them: Henge and Bunshins (and mabye Kawarimi) are actually all from Japanese folk tales, not to mention their names are basically descriptive, the mangekyou skill names are various Shinto gods, etc.

Really, if you actually look up what copyright/trademarks cover, all I'd really *have* to do is rename the game (and possibly Rasengan and chidori), and get some icons: Most of the GUI screens (title/creation/skilltree) would probably need to be redone because they have pictures from the series, the konoha wall and other buildings that are directly based on the places in the series, etc.

Goas 15 mins of fame is over
It's experienced far more than 15 minutes of fame, and yes I realize that's a commonly used expression referring to a rather short period of time. Anyways, this won't ruin GOA, and besides it's fame was over quite a while ago.

I doubt you would need to change the buildings. Gustave Eiffel cant sue some architect in Las Vegas for using the Eiffel tower as a theme of a building. Its only based on general oriental architecture after all. You could get away with it. I believe some people in China are getting away with it now. A hotel is completely copying the exterior design of the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa.
