Troy Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 … Profit from my game? (donations and that stuff)just wondering, if its not allowed then i wont.the reason im asking is that my family is kinda poor and cant afford to buy things like realm crafter or other 3D game making things, all money produced from my game (if allowed) would be put back into persueing my dream of being Ub3r 1337 at producing games as its what i love (i am just wondering please dot criticize...)

Marsh Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 You can charge for your game you just can't sell the game engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 @Marsh:> You can charge for your game you just can't sell the game engine.Can we sell the game itself? This means the engine comes with it. Although it would be all the work we have put it into the game and modifications that we are really selling.

Dark Crusade Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 @Tribal:> Can we sell the game itself? This means the engine comes with it.No it doesn't. The game was made using the engine. By distributing the client doesn't mean your distributing the engine. However, if you sell the server/source, it would then be a different story.
