    Hello!

    I'm making a game callef BreakIn Showdown as a free to play 2D shooter for iOS with characters that I created. I was thinking that it would be cool to ad Unity-chan as a playable character (basically a skin) that I would draw on my own just to express how much I like the platform and the community. After considering the legal issues behind that, I'm leaving that idea behind, but I'm still curious, what are the repercutions of using Unity-chan and what kind of permissions do we need to ad her or make anykind of reference to her in the game?

    I'm not a lawyer but I think it's okay to use Unity-Chan in your game. I'm just going by the Unity-Chan website but it appears that it's fine if your game isn't pornographic or possibly offensive and you give proper credit for using Unity-Chan.
