Nice shadow effect on the ogre, but I really hope you contacted the BBC about your use of the TARDIS.

It isn't the official tardis, just a free transparent version i found online. Its free of use and my game isn't a commercial one so there really shouldn't be any problems.

You may have found the image free online, but in the context of a TARDIS the image of a blue police box is copyrighted (the BBC took the Met to court over it and won) as is Time Lord which you've called your game. The UK doesn't use the fair use clause, it uses fair dealing which is different and only allows non-commercial research or private study, not non-commercial artistic work, which is what a game would be deemed. You can get away with incidental use, but really, a game called timelord, with time travel and a blue police box called the TARDIS? That's not incidental.

I'm just saying you might want to check with them about it. Being in deep water with these people would be a bad idea.

Look up "DWCM", that is a completely new minecraft mod/game that is basically a doctor who game. The creators of it didnt feel the need to speak with the BBC at all and if they haven't for what reason should i?. The court case between the BBC and the Police have nothing at all to do with a non commercial game created with not even a fully correct police box. If you look clearly you will see that it is an edited police box without any of the original writing. Really i've seen countless doctor who games/projects that according to what your saying, should be sued and in deep water with the BBC right now yet they are massively famous.
