codeape Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I found this at SlashDot: http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/11/19/206209/2-d-mmog-glitch-released-completely-into-the-public-domain Glitch, a collaborative, web-based, massively multiplayer game developed by Tiny Speck, Inc. (tinyspeck.com) has been released under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal License. I'm not at all familiar with this game, but it is rare that both source code and all game assets are released into the public domain, which makes this announcement noteworthy. An excerpt from the announcement: 'The entire library of art assets from the game has been made freely available, dedicated to the public domain. Code from the game client is included to help developers work with the assets. All of it can be downloaded and used by anyone, for any purpose. (But: use it for good.) Ok it is a 2D game but there must be stuff that can be reused in this package of 10.000+ assets like sounds and music etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Very refreshing. They instantly earned a lot of respect, like ID does for regularly releasing their source code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeape Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Indeed. The thing is that ID make the game engine public domain but never any art assets. Glitch is released with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
