Hello everyone, I'm new to this site (though definitely not new to RPG maker) Usually I never cared about this because I was just making the games for myself and my friends and just to show off to them what I can do.
However, I was thinking of making a game and adding 3D movie scenes and then placing it into my portfolio to try to impress prospective employers.
Now to the actual question... I am concerned about music. I want to put in the songs I always love placing in because I like them more than the pre generated songs but... those songs are from other games, FF I through VIII, Chrono Trigger, Xenosaga, Earthbound and a few more that I cant remember just off the top of my head.
Wouldn't the prospective employers notice that the songs are just reused songs from other games and hate my work? I know theres a 10% rule for audio when it comes to copyrighting but what about the songs in midi format, does that count towards copyrighting or are they safe?
Sorry if this is all confusing or a hard hitting question for everyone, I'm just a little stuck at the first map since my instinct could lead me to something bad if I present the game to people.
... that and I'm completely brain dead on an idea right now anyway.
also, I'll add a sig and avatar soon.
edit: blah instect how did I miss that one >< XD
