He can make his own game but not allowed to copy

2. License 2.1 Provided that you comply with the terms of this agreement, 87Arts hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to develop, promote, and sell Branch Games of the Mainline Game (Star Keeper) globally. 2.2 NFT Owners have the right to use all resources of the Mainline Game except for the source code, including game world view, character design, scene tiles, scene music, and all other content.All game resources are limited to software resources, excluding game card PCB circuit diagrams, chip models, and circuit schematics. NFT Owner also has the right to use the resources developed by Branch Games authorized through that Authorization NFT (with the same NFT ID), but this does not include the source code. Buyers of Authorization NFTs have the right to request game development resources from sellers of Authorization NFTs. If you need resources for the Mainline Game, please contact the official 87Arts email cn_87arts@yahoo.com. 2.3 NFT Owners can design Branch Games arbitrarily, such as adding levels, expanding plots, and designing new characters and scenes, in compliance with this agreement. Games can be developed using any engine. Games can use 2D or 3D , the art style and game genre are not limited. 2.4 The name of the Branch Game should consist of the Mainline Game name followed by a subtitle, for example: Star Keeper - xxxx, Star Keeper xxxxx. I think you should look at the authorization agreement first you can make a branch version of Star Keeper similar to the mainline version on FC, Star Keeper - XXXX

I am saying that even if he doesn't buy NFTs, if he develops a game similar to SK, someone will associate the game with SK, which is equivalent to advertising for SK. When the popularity of SK rises, people will naturally buy NFTs. As for the specific sales situation of NFTs, I cannot say for sure, only time will tell.

@fcgamer It is possible to develop an FC version of StarKeeper, although I have forbidden the release of the NES version, there is no restriction on FC, because I will hand over the game development resources to the NFT owner, who may use the game resources to make an FC version.

They can certainly develop their own games, and if someone publicly associates their game with Star Keeper and promotes it, Star Keeper's NFTs will be easier to sell.

Hahaha, I said it 8 years ago. The inspiration for Star Keeper comes from Balloon Fight!! There is a lot of room for expansion in game creativity, far beyond just the physics system.

I believe that someone will use the mature resources available in the retro community to create even greater value outside of the retro community.

How do you think it should be described? please give your opinion

I believe game makers have a more advanced sales strategy than us

The NFT transaction of chia does not require a middle-man, and the two parties can trade directly through the offer function

2.6 NFT Owners have the right to receive 100% of the revenue generated by the Branch Game they (or their team) created.the revenue does not include royalties paid for purchasing the Authorization NFT. They can also get money by reselling NFTs

3.1 It is prohibited to use the Star Keeper in connection with malicious, harmful, offensive or obscene images, videos, or other materials or forms of media, including any that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech orotherwise violate applicable laws or regulations or infringe upon the rights of others;

No one has expressed being inspired by Star Keeper because too few people know about it, so I want to promote Star Keeper through NFT authorization. When people see the authorized advertisements, they will be inspired because the profits will stimulate people to conceive how to design the BranchGame of Star Keeper.. Anyone can participate, but those who can make games are the most welcome. Because NFT authorization is aimed at commercial game makers, I have not officially released authorization advertisements, so I am not sure how many people are willing to participate Yes, 87Arts retains the main game, ownership and operation rights of Star Keeper, and NFT authorization is for the branch game, which means they cannot modify Star Keeper but can operate the branch game, such as Star Keeper - xxxxx. Actually, I have been planning to make Star Keeper 2 for a long time, but due to lack of funding, time, project stopped... So I have to find a way to raise more funds to put the Star Keeper series on a positive development track. Because I am not good at business communication, especially when it comes to cartridge production details, and there is also the risk of piracy, I have not considered selling my game through a publisher. NFT authorization is a good way because NFT is fully automated, and I don't need to have too much contact with others.

Tomorrow to answer your questions, I fell asleep

For more details about authorization, please refer to the Commercial license for Star Keeper's Branch Game https://arseed.web3infra.dev/FSVutr6wZSGnP-DMn6pbi9T3QfOMpuzJF1iQR0E8lnI

I know， I've been working towards this, it's just that I've chosen a different route I mean, I want more games to come out If the NFT authorization is successful, I will get enough funds to support me to complete the development of the next game

Yes, it is difficult to pirate, but if I give away the production method, it's hard to say.

The current Star Keeper

I would like to ask a question: Do you want Star Keeper's pirated version to appear? I'm 100% sure, that if I collaborate with a distributor, the ROM will appear and then piracy will follow.

@Tulpa I'm going to be straight.As long as the NFT sale plan is successful, Star Keeper 2 will be developed

i must keep it secret

Perhaps your advice is correct for most games, but Star Keeper is an exception. I predict that creating value through NFT authorization is much greater than selling copies directly, which is beneficial for both myself and the community. Thank you for your suggestion.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I believe that most people have misunderstood my concept of authorization, and I have to supplement the following explanation! Please see the latest update on top

I will release NFTs on the Chia blockchain, Then I will post the purchase link on forums and Twitter. please stay tuned.
