A HobbyGameDev entry, done in podcast-style, doing my best to offer some considerations for a reader wondering about making an unlicensed noncommercial game. Intellectual property is absolutely a topic that videogame developers, even if indie, student, hobby, or only doing noncommercial projects, really should try to become better acquainted with.

(Though ultimately - as I'll stress repeatedly in the entry that follows - developers should be consulting with a real lawyer over any and all questions, rather than acting dangerously on their/our own informal and necessarily incomplete knowledge of these complicated subjects. This entry is offered only as a starting point on some terminology and concepts, and hopefully helpful in steering readers towards what kinds of questions to ask and search for, perhaps raising awareness of complications that otherwise may not have been recognized before as potential issues.)

Intellectual Property and Hobby Game Development

This is a song I began today to be used as an intro/filler for a buddy of mine's podcast feed.

FuZZ!!

Joshua Marinacci tells us what he's been thinking about in terms of the future of the Internet of Things. How will the future look when every object is networked? Do we need to look to Isaac Asimov's Laws of Robotics?

thought i'd feel like a king
but instead i'm invisible
