I have created a game using some of your assets. Your assets are fantastic, they really worth their price!
The thing is that I want to release my game as open-source. Due to the terms, I can't use your assets in the repository. I would like to ask if it would be okay if I use blurred and obfuscated versions of them?
Ok I will give you permission for that with few conditions:
- First of all when you convert all of the assets to blured ones, I would like you to send me converted assets for the final review and final approval at info@dithart.com
- I would like you to make a statement in your readme file that blurred assets are derivated works of my work, and that they are blured on purpose because of license clause. Please include link to each of my asset that is included in your work.
- Not mandatory but it would be nice to have, that you incorporate blured files in such way, that if someone wants to play your game with non-blurred graphics, when they buy those assets it is easy for them to replace the graphic by simply overwriting existing files.
But, after I spent some time trying to use blurred sprites, I understood that It wasn't a good idea. For example, It created a problem with colliders. So, I decided to draw simple mock substitute images from the scratch for all paid content (including your assets).
The only thing from your work that is left in the build is the names of the files. I would like to keep them, as it will be easy for people to replace mock assets with the real ones.
The game "Space Engineers" approached open sourcing their code by requiring the ownership of the original game to load original assets from. IIRC you either had to have the game in your SteamApps folder or copy the assets into the working directory. Otherwise, people could compile and "use" the source, but the original assets would not be available and loading "as-is" would not work.
Yes, you can use it in commercial projects. There is attached license in every asset.

Hi.

I attached an example of how it would look.
Thank you for your kind words.

Hi, so wanderful assets! And I am wandering whether the box open animation frame could be added? :)
There always a opened animation for opening boxes in many games,and I am just wondering. Never mind:)
Thank you! Currently I am quite busy with burning down my TODO list, but it's a good idea and I will consider it. Comments are always welcome!
Glad to hear that! And I am kina curious about your next works.Probablely I need to add them to my game
What is the license for this and your other sci-fi assets? Is commercial use allowed? What are the terms?
Yes, you can use it in commercial projects. There is attached license in every asset.

Cool! 👍
Thanx! :)
