Hello people!
I have a big project in my head and therefore I also have lots of question, so this is my first one, one of many to come 
I hope I'll be able to find some help here.
So my first question is, if I use a real city in my game, will I need some kind of license from the city?
Thank you!
It depends on the city. You would have to contact them and ask. Be prepared to give a lot of information about how you'll use the city, whether the game will portray the city in a positive light, how many copies of the game you might sell, etc.
Yeah, it's not just the city mentioned, it's a whole part of the city accurately detailed. I'll guess I'll have to contact them then.
While that is true for private photography, news reporting, commentary, and various non-commercial and fair uses, it is not true for commercial uses.I'd treat this the same as a photography project, it's pretty analogeous to using a camera to reproduce imagery of real places.
Photography copyright law differs widely by jurisdiction. You'd defiantly have to check the laws in your region, but a general rule of thumb is hat if you're on your own or public property when you take it, then the photo is probably ok, but if you're on private property then the owner can dispute your copyright.
How does this work with Google Street View, out of interest?
Money and lawyers. Google has both.
