What's up, RMers?

It seems that the demonstration video will take a bit longer, since I'll have to do some creative edits for the credits, but at least it'll be worth it 
Crediting is very important, friends.
Also, it cannot be stressed enough that if you are not sure of a resource's permissions, or if you're allowed to make a fangame at all, ASK THE CREATORS.
There are quite a few Tales of Phantasia animated battlers about, and Bandai Namco is a stickler for copyright. However, if you're not making money from it, I believe they'll let you get away with using those battlers like they do with Youtube videos containing their product.
The problem is, I NEVER ASKED. Do not take my word for it!
But Lani! What do you do if you don't know the permissions for something?
Be careful, and ask before releasing! Normally it takes a bit of time for a company to reply on something like this, but in reality, it's easier than getting a team of lawyers on your butt after you released a demo or the full game!
I had to ask Bandai Namco about the permissions for my Tales of Phantasia playthrough, and I found out their policy on the subject of Youtube in 2 days!
THAT'S NOT A VERY LONG WAIT!!!
Even if someone claims you have permission to use the resource of something from a game, do a check anyway. You do NOT want to end up another person in internet hiding after a company's lawyers take down your game or piece. Caution is a very good thing, and so is permission. (Or lack of condemnation, in some cases)
Now if you'll excuse me, I must go ask for permission to use some Tales of Phantasia battlers
