Hi!
I´ve got some copyright questions you could probably solve.
1. The new adventure "geheimakte tunguska" has a function they called "snoopkey (R)". With this button you can show all available hotspots in the scene to avoid pixelhunting. Now we had this idea, too, but our project hasn´t even got to preprepre-alpha :-) . Am I allowed to use such a function in our game, or is it protected by copyright?
2. I know you should not present things like coca cola bottles (with the original lable) in a game, but what about furniture that comes from i.e. IKEA? Do I have to "design" my own table or am I allowed to use things from a catalogue as a template (right word for that?? I hope you know what i mean) for my 3d work?
