Code of Conduct Question

Monday, June 6, 2016 - 11:07

Hello there!

I am soon to be publishing some of the assets for my game to the unity appstore, somewhere around 40 planets. As they won't be free, you will ask: Why do you post here?

Well, I plan on making a few of those planets freely downloadable (like 1 of each kind), as a trial pack.

Now, would it be fine if I shared these 4 assets here, with a link to the full package if someone needs more?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best Regards

Yes. It is perfectly acceptable to share some of your assets here on OGA for free, with a link to your unity appstore page with additional assets non-free. See FAQ "I'm a commercial artist. Can I use OpenGameArt.org to advertise my paid work?" for more information.

As long as your submissions here on OGA make those free assets available for download in a useable form (people aren't required to click the link to the unity appstore before they are able to use the free assets) you're all good. See Submission Guidelines for more information.

Here is an example of this very practice: http://opengameart.org/content/explosion-effects-and-more. Soluna Software shared 5 animations for free, with a link to their other commercial works on their website. Note the files listed in the "File(s)" section are the complete and useable animations spritesheets, not just a non-usable preview. However, the website has many more assets available for purchase.

It's a great way to get the word out about your work! :)

Hello MedicineStorm,

I hope you got the Aura working fine in your game, after readign in said thread :D

Thanks for the fast answer, I double checked the FAQ, but as with most stupid questions, the answer got seomhow slipped under my radar.

So, thanks once more!
