It is possible to work within the boundaries of copyright law when making a video game. You should consult the U.S. Copyright Office’s website to understand what games qualify as fair use and get information on how to seek permission from rightsholders for materials that may not be covered by fair use exemptions. It is also important to consider other forms of intellectual property, such as character designs or plot elements, and ensure that you have appropriate legal permission before using them in your game. Finally, if you are unable to get rights holders’ permission, make sure the content does not violate any laws in your own country or region by conducting research into local laws and regulations applicable to your project.

No, it is not possible to completely get around copyright laws when making a video game. The best way to stay safe is to make sure that any work that you used from another source was properly licensed or bought in the first place. Additionally, before publishing your game, it’s important to ensure you have properly attributed any content that might be subject to copyright laws.
