license/media use

[󠀡󠀡]

can we freely use what we make with this game?

[Buliwyf]

doubtful

I would really like info on this :(

Hey! It's a complex subject, and we need some time to figure out a sensible answer to it. Probably similar guidelines apply as to screenshots from any other game, but even that is fuzzy (I couldn't find a plain answer as to what one can do with screenshots in general). There's lots of legitimate uses, but also a fine line between those and ripping out assets or making fake iOS games that pretend to be Tiny Glade.

Ok! Thanks for the answer

I'll wait for the answer.

Like others I am interested in using artwork generated from this to make background art for tabletop roleplaying game aids. Patiently waiting for official terms and an answer to whether or not this will be allowed (commercially). This looks dazzling as a scene building tool for fantasy roleplay.

I can understand the hesitation to let people use screen shots to promote junk games or other misuse, but what about this kind of use? Thanks.

Why not treat any content from this game like licensed music? It might be okay in a personal setting - just don't go using it commercially or publicly. One might be able to use the content as inspiration to make something else (like if you were to remix or perform a cover of a song). Which means some amount of work... While there's very little work when using the game as it is.

That makes it sound like people are wanting to be lazy... And, well...

Any official update on this yet? As others have stated, screenshots of the artwork generated with Tiny Glade would make quite perfect background art for a fantasy themed game.

no commercial use. only fair use. As in any other game that exists.

That seems to be a Discord screenshot of a message by some unknown user, providing no new information? The previous actually official update was the developer responding to this thread. So, apparently no official update on this yet. Hopefully they at some point do have time for setting up a licensing method for screenshots (or set up a software license for Tiny Glade that exclusively allows the non-competing use of scenery screenshots while setting limits to harmful use cases).

That's the response and management bot for the Tiny Glade Discord server, and that right there is there last update on the matter.

Its the moderation bot of the official discord .... And they probably wont have the time for that. fake mobile apps already stealing their trailers and stuff. cant deal with more of that.

Literally had a chat with Tom about this like a week ago about the other thread.
see here https://steamcommunity.com/app/2198150/discussions/0/4842023049607791642/

If you allow unlimited use for a certain thing people will try to bend the rules as much as they can to make money off the works of others. then you would still need to figure out and be on the lookout who uses your stuff in a bad manner. there are outside ways to grab models out of the game, which i will not disclose here.

TG is not a 3D software its a videogame.
You cant use screenshots of Mario or Zelda and sell them or make any other commercial work out of it. Good luck with nintendo then.

Everything they are able to share is on Toms git, f.e. tony-mc-mapface

Ofc, you can use your screenshots to draw over them and help you with modeling, getting perspectives right and maybe make a dnd map and add your own colors and style ontop of that. Transformative counts as fair use. And then its your thing what you do with it.

Ooh I hope a copyright attorney posts in this chat, I think it would be a really good analysis.

I am not an attorney so though I do have an understanding of copyright law there is so much information about copyright that I am likely to be only half correct.

The closest comparison I can think of is the licensing for a map creation tool called Wonderdraft that I use for making large D&D maps.
Since the two programs are somewhat similar in what they do, I think that wording would be very close to what would be needed to use Tiny Glade but that is up to the developers and their attorneys to figure out.
