Several legal questions about Planned Splatoon-like Game?

So guys I have the basics of C #, Unity and Blendermodeling intimate and approach a pre alpha status.

-

Now my questions are:

Is the title "Ink Party" illegal in a game similar to Splatoon?

Can the design of the blade be protected at all?

This is Splatoon: https://www.nintendo.de/...73295.html

Inklinge are the characters in Splatoon.
They are squid-human hybrids and not Mario or something.

To do this, seek a specialist lawyer for copyright. And even that will not be able to prevent you from being sued if the rights holder so wishes.

Of course, the design is protected. Nintendo has the rights, and if they think your game is too similar, they'll sue you. Nintendo is not squeamish there.

No thanks, I don't want to spend hundreds of euro on a game that isn't even finished.
Perhaps you have a clue about UhrheberRecht or useful links.

If I have no idea until the first beta release, I will consult a copyright lawyer before I make the model more beautiful.

That will be a problem.

not only that you apparently almost took over the game idea and mechanics (that's how I interpret it)

you even take over the world and design.

that will not leave nintendo so the struggles very strongly for their rights.

you should try to get as far away from this very special world as possible. It is not the same as, for example, a game in World War II because it is not protected.

And would the name be accusable or is it okay?

Layout and design can be protected and probably also protected. The terms will also be protected under license law, one might at least assume. Just make up synonyms for everything, so you're on the safe side.

I see no problem in the name. Wouldn't think of Splatoon by the name. Of course, Nintendo can see it differently.

A game idea and mechanics can't be protected, then there would only be Mario as a platformer or only CS as a shooter.

I develop my own maps, there I just let myself be inspired

The designs are interchangeable with jellyfish or anything else.

Tbh I might ask again towards the end of a copyright lawyer whether I can use the Inklinge or who are protected like Mario.

What interests me the most is whether I can use Ink Party as a game title.

I was going to do that anyway, only the name is okay?

No, probably not. As I said, terms will also be protected. Grade Nintendo is very meticulous.

I thought the problem would be the combination of everything.

if you let your game play in a different world and I'm not talking about simply other maps then you can't be said to have simply re-programmed the game.

furthermore, nintendo did not invent the jump and run with super mario.

an example.

the world takes place in an art classroom. And it's not about ink, it's watercolor. Instead of pistols, you have brushes in hand.

same principle other world. Is of course now shaken from the sleeve should only show what I mean.

if you call that game but ink party… Brother you provoke the comparison xD

No

Legal advice may only be given by a lawyer in Germany.
