Keebler Elf Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The eclipse licensing exists somewhere on this forum. Short answer yes. Long answer will most likely get posted below here involving all sorts of crap with graphics and all that junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Depends.Everything in that game (Graphics, music and the like) should be owned by you. Even if you got something from Google, it is most likely copyrighted if it's any good, or is only in use under a Creative Commons License.After you've checked that everything is 100% clean, you still need to ensure people can't get hold of your client without having paid for it, which is nigh on impossible without some effective programming. People can easily buy the client, then post it on Mediafire and send the link to tonnes of other people, making your game worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tic Tac 2 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 All the graphics and music on my game are self-made from me and my community, the only thing i havent made is most of the source code which i think in the license says that you're free to use.As long as you've made the graphics and stuff its ok.Also, i wouldnt suggest selling the actual game, i would suggest making a VIP/Premium system that people pay for "1 month 4$" or something, personally i have a Buy VIP once 5$, keep it forever with benefits. Makes it more appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercarth Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 You shouldn't really be selling it anyway, and if you do make it cheap, and don't do monthly fees.I just don't really think its fair to make money off of a free engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your here to make some quick cash off a below average game your in the wrong place. Here's some advice.. get a job or sell some weed ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SawQuart Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The point of this engine is to get introduced to the game development scene. Don't try to make money or be too professional. Games that aim to be professional around here always fail. The truth is that you'll never make a professional game until you have tons of experience, so just make your time here as enjoyable as possible and have fun making your game. Money will come later.

achap89 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 As long as you are using all your own graphics and code, then yes i believe you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7Eleven Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I think if it's compelling enough, people will pay. However, you need to be creative. For instance, if your game gets popular, let people buy ingame money that they can use to buy things only with that type of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, if your game gets popular, let people buy ingame money that they can use to buy things only with that type of money.Personally, i find that to be the most annoying thing ever. I prefer it to be that you pay for a membership, (1 time or weekly/monthly/daily/yearly) which allows you to advance faster in the game, such as access to an area. If its items that are acquirable through other means, that's more acceptable. If its items that can only be obtained by paying, it makes it annoying.

Drummerpete Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I've yet to see one person make one penny/cent/a used tissue from an Eclipse-made game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
