Subject: [Enigma-devel] New graphics
Hi everyone -
I'm Jen. I just recently found Enigma, and since I dabble in graphic
design, it wasn't long before I decided
I had to try and create some new graphics for the game.
[...SNIP...]
When you extract the files, you'll have 3 folders: gfx32, gfx40 and gfx48
each with their own fl-leaves.png file inside.
That was the easiest way to put all 3 sizes in one zip file without
renaming them. Hopefully it goes without saying that you
should back up your current fl-leaves.png files before letting my files
overwrite them, just in case.
Question: how are the smaller images being generated? Are they simply
downsampled versions of the higher resolution graphics?
(Just curious)
[...SNIP...]
One more note: any graphics I make for the game are completely original,
and I have no problem making
them freely available to be used in the game. I have no need to retain any
rights to them. I'm just doing
this for fun. So if you need anything from me - a statement or whatever -
to ensure that there aren't any
issues with the game being freeware, just let me know.
The best thing you can do is simply to formally licence the images under a
GPL-compatible licence.
(To do that is simple, just include such a statement with the graphics
(perhaps in the email, or as a text file in the zip file)
a statement saying you are doing so).
You could use the GPL itself, but if you are not familar with its terms, it
may be a confusing licence.
It was intended for computer programs, but can cover other works; however,
trying to understand what
it would mean in terms of artwork without first understanding what it means
in terms of a computer program
can be somewhat confusing.
I belive the Expat Licence is a reasonable choice. It basically allows use/
modification, sitribution etc.
in any manner and for any purpose, with the sole condition that proper
attribution be maintained.
