Any legal issue in developing app similar to others?
- by demotics2002
There is a game I want to develop for mobile devices e.g. cellphone/tablet. I have been looking for this game and couldn't find it so I decide to just do it on my own. But I'm worried that there will be legal issues. I'm sorry but I do not know what is the process in doing this.
I noticed for example the game Bejeweled Blitz. If I develop something similar, do I have to contact the developer and ask for permission if I develop a game with similar rules but use shapes rather than jewels?
The original game exists only on Windows for free. If I develop the game, exactly similar rules but different display, am I allowed to sell it?
Thanks...
