So what you are saying is that every image of a product in the game is actually hand drawn from your artists and is not an actual product that somebody took a picture of and then tidied it up through editing? None of the product images in the game are of real world items?

If that is so, I'm rather impressed as I was quite positive that at least some of the objects are not hand drawn but instead were images of real world products that were just edited to tidy them up, remove real world brand names but still using a real photo image in the game, I'm impressed if every object in the game as a product was hand drawn.

"Chunky" was a word used by our artist for the made-up brand on the canned soup. And now that it has been changed.

Well now you make me wonder how many images that are used in the game even though the brand name may not be visible are actual images of trademarked products and would it matter? Just curious.

The canned soup image will be changed in the next patch.

thats what I mean. How dont know how you say it in english, product placement... like in movie when compagny pay to have their product place in the movie. Enlight can do the same and get paiement from compagny to have their products brand or even their compagny name in the game...

This can be an opportunity for Enlight. This is publicity for the compagny. Enlight should get money or this publicity

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the canned soup image (per http://www.capitalismlab.com/new-products.html) depicts the name "Chunky", which is trademarked by Campbell's as one of their lines of soup:
Campbell’s® Chunky™


This is a clear infringement that I would hope to avoid... especially in this age of the I.P. industry! ;)

Ah, I tried to send this as a pm for discretion's sake, but it seems I am too noob. :cry:
