CC-BY-SA for commercial games ?

Hello, (not native english speaker here)

I am making a close-sourced commercial indie game. I have a few questions about asset licenses, after having read quite a lot on the matter (including the FAQ).

I understand that both CC-BY-SA and GPL licenses are problematic to use in a close-sourced commercial game, because it is unclear whether the sharealike clause applies only to the art piece being used, or to the whole project, even though there is a legal separation between the source code and the art.

Silly doub translating something

First: sorry my english is not good.

Second: sorry if i shouldn't post this here.

Third: English speakers, what's the name of this? https://www.mercadolibre.com.ar/estabilizador-de-tension-lyonn-tca-1200n...

In my country we call this "Estabilizador de tensión"  witch translate means "tension stabilizer" or "voltage stabilizer" but if i google it in english with those words i found a different device.

Can I post this WMC art from prorietary games?

So for fun I've been browsing video game media on Wikimedia Commons -- WMC only allows free works to be uploaded and is pretty strict and serious about verifying their free status. And I am finding some real juicy stuff. For example this trailer for a Warner Bros game has been released under CC-BY-SA:

Remixes with CC0 Public Domain

Hello,

I've been recently mixing some tracks many of which have Creative commons license. I wonder if someone could find them useful and if it is possible to share them here as long as the license is Creative commonds. I would ask the authors anyway but first I would like to know if the license allows that.

Thanks

The Best Type of Audio File

Something I wondered after seeing a comment by MedicineStorm.

I think I saw a similar forum topic from several years back, but I probably couldn't find it if I tried...

So from what I've been hearing from you, mp3. is bad except for its small file size, wav. is good except for its large file size, and ogg. is ideal.

Submits not visible anymore?

Hi, new user since yesterday, and hope i posted in the right section...

So in yesterday i clicked the link and my account got approved etc.

 

I submit 6 tracks one by one, but now no one of them are visible anymore on my user page, but still able through links.

And the page says Project link will be visible after this account is approved.

TGA files

maybe you didn't realize...?

 

I was sort of aggrevated to find out that the 4 dozen+ files and packs I downloaded to gather items to work with on my project ... included the same filename for different static meshes. 

diffuse.tga

normal.tga

specular.tga

 

... all of which were skipped/overwritten/ duplicate-numbered...

(6+hours I now have to painstakingly redo to find out which ones I need to rename/match-up/reload so I dont have unusable item blobs with no textures).

Under what license are OGA users?

Hi, using assets from OGA in your games is for amateurs, I want to go further and fill my game with OGA users too. And it won't be just random choices for no reason, instead every user will have a role which is somehow related to their position or contribution or their asset(s) used in my game. For example creator of weapon 3d meshes will be a blacksmith, while music creator is a bard obviously.

NFT Discussion

Greetings one and all.

Ive opened this thread here to discuss things NFT.(non fungible Tokens)

Ive been looking into the space for quite some time and watched it's progression with interest. Since their inception, NFT's have been met with mixed reactions from many creators. Some for the idea of Nft's, some against, for a number of reasons, all be it personal, practical or both. Id like to discuss those reasons here, and see what creators think what sort of effect it will have/has had on themselves, positive or negative.
