 There are many great UIs in the archive. Have you checked any of those out? What kind of game is it? A sci fi gui probably would look out of place in a fantasy game.

I am also interested in these answers. Thanks.

do you have an .ogg preview file for all your midi submissions? .mid files won't play as a preview.

This is similar to the discussion here: https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/licensing-question

There is also some information on this in the FAQ here, and here.

animations, comics, and sprites would all apply the same way under GPL. The simplest way (or the "playing-it-safe" way) is to use GPL artwork in a GPL project with GPL code. However, there is a lot of discussion on if that is truly necessary. You'll have to do your own research, but here's my overly simplified summary of the issue:

  • GPL is not the recommended license for art, but there are legacy reasons for maintaining it as an art license.
  • GPL'd art doesn't neccessarily mean the code must be GPL as well. Art and code in a single project may be licensed separately as independent "collections". However, each project is subject to unique circumstances. Consult your lawyer if swelling persists longer than 4 hours.
  • If you're submitting GPL artwork, it is preferable (and polite) that a highly-editable format of the art be included along with a more finialized form. E.g. include a photoshop PSD file (or gimp XCF file) along with a PNG or JPG image of artwork, so other users may modify the image easily. Whether or not this is required in order to be compliant with the GPL is unlikely/debatable, but still a good idea.

Other similar discussions if you feel like reading a lot:

If that doesn't answer your questions, say so and the community will do our best to help, but as you might have guessed, it's unlikely to be a very simple answer. :)

Looks like the right section. :)

Looks like a cool challenge, too!

No conflict. As the author of your work, you are free to offer your works on several platforms under different licenses. licensing your work here on OGA under CC0 does not prevent you from licensing the same work elsewhere under a different license, even charging for your work under a proprietary license. You might be undercutting your profits if your customers find the freely licensed version, but it's your call. :)

TL;DR: your common sense is correct.

CC-BY requires attribution. The instructions seem straightforward enough to me. Looks like the "discussion" part is only if you're not sure how to apply the attribution instructions.

If you like these, you'll love the latest supplemental set. TWICE as much of the same kind of awesome! https://opengameart.org/content/dungeon-crawl-32x32-tiles-supplemental

I like it!

Though I suspect people may just hit 'refresh' until they get a theme they like.
