You just summed up BGT perfectly. I wish more people would pay
attention.
It's not a stroll in the park, but can really help develop some great
products.

Greetings Thom and Philip.
Thank you both for the timely and informative responses. I really am
looking
forward to the 1.0 release of this development package. A lot of us have
visions, but lack the aptitude to learn complicated programming
languages.
And while BGT won't exactly be a walk in the park, it will simplify a
multitude of facets about game development.
Kai

Hello Kai,
Here is an extract from the BGT lisence agreement:
7. FURTHER RESTRICTIONS OF END-USER:
This software product, being available in three versions, imposes the
following restrictions with respect to same:
A. Evaluation Version: All creations of end-user shall be solely kept
in
the possession of the creator, except as permitted by the terms of this
agreement, or with express written permission of the developer and
copyright holder. Blastbay Studios grants the user of the evaluation
version the right to freely distribute created content in non-compiled
BGT
source code form. Any other distribution is subject to written
permission
of the developer and copyright holder.
B. Lite Version: All creations by the user may be freely distributed by
the creator, but may not be in any way registered or licensed to others
commercially. Any attempt to do so is in direct violation of this user
agreement, and is subject to immediate termination of same.
C. Professional Single Version: One single creation by the end user may
be
freely distributed, without restrictions as to licensing, both freely
and
commercially, and any and all licensing of this one creation is at the
sole discretion of the creator. The rights granted for the lite version
also apply to this version, allowing the creator to distribute an
unlimited number of non-commercial titles in addition to the one
commercial title (see above).
D. Professional Unlimited Version: All creations by the end user may be
freely distributed, without restrictions as to licensing, both freely
and
commercially, and any and all licensing of creations is at the sole
discretion of the creator.
I hope this clears things up a bit. I'll be sure to put this
information
more visibly on the website as well. As for Streemway this is indeed a
commercial library, which I own. When you buy the BGT lisence you get
Streemway bundled with it, however only as part of BGT. If you want it
as
a separate dll, as Thomas mentioned, that will be a different lisence
entirely. Streemway has also been wrapped and simplified considerably
inside BGT.
Kind regards,
Philip Bennefall

Greetings List.
a while back, Philip posted an email stating the provisions of the
various
BGT licenses. Perhaps I'm just dense, but I cannot manage to find this
information anywhere on the Blastbay Studios website. I want to know,
for
example, what the pro single edition gives you that the light version
does
not, or what the unlimited edition gives you over the pro single
version,
etc. Most of that is easily deduced, of course, but I much prefer to
see
the
writing and understand the verbatim limitations of each license.
Coincidentally, I'm also curious as to how BGT handles sound effects.
Does
it bind the Streamway library into your BGT projects and thus use that
resource? From what I remember, Streamway was purportedly a commercial
library, though I may be mistaken in my recollection on this matter.
Relevance? How does the BGT license effect the status of Streamway, if
it
is
indeed a bundled resource?
Does anyone happen to know where this information is available?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Kai
