Getting Published

Forgive me if this has already been posted the article been out since february of this year. Its a great article concerning the legal aspects of game development and trying to get published. I'm working with team members to get a good business model together for Rise of Power at Amped Labs LLC. The bottom line is you need to be sure you have everything understood and in writing before you seek a publisher.

You need a real company and that company needs to have the rights to sell all the artwork and intellectual property in the game. You may think this is all pretty clear but if its not spelled out in writing you may be in for a surprise. This is a great series of articles and I consider it a boon of free legal advice.
