Legal Question
If I were to draw a character and upload it to Scratch and then years later upload a game with the character in it to, say, Steam, would I get in any trouble for that?
Edit: Btw I know I asked something similar a while ago but it was making the game and then uploading it and stuff. If my memory serves me right that is.

GameMaker is more flexible than Scratch and easier to use and create things with. Hmmmm.
I am a GameMaker dev who used to use Scratch. I'm still on here but won’t be making large projects.
I am going to forever be remembered as a cat boy on the forums aren’t I?

What exactly do you mean? Do you mean using your own art years later?

Like, using the character from the art. What exactly do you mean? Do you mean using your own art years later?

Yes, that's allowed. You can use your own art.
This text under the grey line is my signature. It's not part of my post, but it automatically shows up under all of my posts.
Scratch Team, please fix this bug preventing studio descriptions from being blank.

Stuff at the bottom of my signature:

for \({https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/6785965/
set [i v] to [0]
}; <(i) < [10]>; {
change [i v] by (1)
}) \{{
think (i) for (1) secs
}} :: control
Would you recommend a confirmation dialog box on that action?

Really? Isn't it under creative commons? Yes, that's allowed. You can use your own art.

Creative Commons is a special license that allows others to use your work under certain conditions. It does not have any bearing on how you use work (which could be for anything in any way you want).Really? Isn't it under creative commons? Yes, that's allowed. You can use your own art.
So if you create a character and upload it to Scratch, then want to use it in Steam, you can do that; but be aware that releasing it on Scratch can also mean that other people can use said character in a Steam game as long as their usage of your character follows the Creative Commons License.
Sadly, my forum signature was eaten by an evil kumquat.
