Hello all,

We are Active Gaming Media and are overseeing this Game Development Challenge.
We have received several questions regarding the rules of the contest and would like to provide some answers.

① Steps following winning the contest.

・If your game is chosen as the winner of the contest you will be required to enter into a Licensing Agreement with KADOKAWA. Before you sign the agreement you will be able to discuss and negotiate royalty allocation, whether your game will require any tweaking, your rights regarding dissemination of information regarding your game etc. Essentially, you will be able to negotiate the conditions of your contract like any other game developer would with their publisher.

②Regarding Copyright

・As was mentioned in the contest Terms and Conditions, the developer will be the sole holder of the Copyright over their own game. Therefore the agreement you sign will be one that allows KADOKAWA to sell your game on your behalf i.e. a Licensing Agreement. This means you will be the owner of your work and KADOKAWA will not be able to sell or adapt/modify your work without your consent.

ユーザーの皆様からいくつか質問をいただいておりますので、以下にご返答いたします。

①入賞後のフローについて

・受賞作品については、別途KADOKAWAとパブリッシング契約(販売許諾契約)を行っていただくことになります。
ロイヤリティ分配率やビルド修正の有無、開発者による情報公開の範囲などに関しても
契約条項の一つとなりますので、KADOKAWA様とのご契約時にご協議、ご確認いただければと思います。

②著作権について

・コンテスト規約にもあります通り、受賞作品の著作権は開発者にあります。そのための販売「許諾」契約となります。
明記されてます通り、受賞作をKADOKAWA側で契約なしに勝手に販売することはありませんし、承諾なしに内容を改変することはございません。
