Making a game engine with Unity engine? Legal?
Hello, so I was planning on buying Unity Pro and making a horror game engine using the Unity3D engine (This will work by using the 'engine' to create levels which will be saved as files then added to a separate unity build standalone). I was wondering if this was legal, also; would users be allowed to sell they're created games from the engine I'm planning to build within Unity Pro? Thanks!
Answer: "After contacting both unity support and the sales team the short answer is 'Yes', it is legal. :)"

that's a very strange question. you'd have to explain in much more detail how that would work.
Very strange indeed, basically, I will create a custom map/level maker unity stand-alone (which will create game-object position saves .etc and will be saved as .map files). Then, on another individual stand-alone (which I also built with unity), the .map files will be placed inside the application folder where they can be loaded. Thanks!
Yes most of it is legal the only thing you cant do is allow users to sell their games.
I'm guessing because I will be using unity pro they can't sell there games since I will be using unity pro features, is this true? also however; if I don't use any unity pro features will they be allowed to sell they're games?
For this type of matter, I would suggest speaking with Unity's Legal $$anonymous$$m if you want to know ALL details with respect to your question. Don't take people's answers from the forum to be 100% reliable. Talk to actual employees. You don't want to get sued over misconceptions so just shoot an email to Unity about your legal question.
I'm pretty sure it's legal. I know the Walker Boys are working on a game engine made with Unity called Build a Game, you may have heard of it. And if I recall, they allow their users/players to sell their games. Anyway Unity allows you to do whatever you want with no royalties under 100 grand. Just email them though.
Thank you for your replies, I contacted Unity via Email and will let you know the result. Thank you again!
