You can create and sell your game without permission from the copyright holder if you meet certain requirements. First, you must make sure that the game is sufficiently original and creative such that it cannot be confused with any existing intellectual property. You can accomplish this by making sure your game has enough differences from existing games and adding protectable elements such as character design or level design. Next, if necessary, obtain a license to use any third-party material in your game that might conflict with intellectual property rights. Finally, ensure appropriate measures are taken against possible copyright infringement; this includes placing appropriate copyright notices on your products and having proper distribution agreements with third-party providers of content (e.g., licenses).

You will need to obtain a software license from the copyright holder in order to legally develop and sell your video game. However, if you wish to create the game independently without any external resources, there are several ways in which you could achieve this. One option would be to create the game yourself using code or other graphics programs and distribute it online for free without seeking permission from any copyright holders. You could also use an engine such as Unity or Unreal Engine which allows users to create games using provided assets and code, with no permission needed from copyright holders. Additionally, you can seek legal advise on how to obtain a software license that permits reselling your video game.
