    That is awesome. But you need to post a terms of use (i.e., royalty free even for commercial use, except for reselling images by themselves) on the website. Otherwise I just can't sign up.

    How do you get the user and password after you pay the 10 bucks?

    Sounds excellent, SurgeApps, although I'm with dotsonj23 with this one: there needs to be terms of use on the website before I'll sign up as well.

    Ill post the terms in just a minute guys, thanks for the suggestions! Everyone that has signed up you will be receiving your username and password within the next few minutes too.
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    The imprint is now at the bottom of the website stating that the images and sound files are only to be used in commercial marketing and development of a product and that they should not be packaged and re-sold for individual or grouped sale.
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    Let me know what your email is and I'll check it out. We are getting a lot of members, head over to the site and sign up for the discount! It is today only!

    Oh, so we DON'T have Master Resell Rights? (MRR = have full rights to resell them.)
    If I can't resell them then no thanks.

    Make up your mind about resell rights. On your other post you said we could resell them, now you changed your mind? I'm going to be aware of this site.
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    You may redistribute the files but it must be within a product that you produce. This site is a developer resource just as I have said it was. It is not to just be resold as I have presented it.
  • steve86steve86 Member Posts: 806
    already got access to the website.. This site is amazing for just ten bucks you can save a lot of time using the stuff they got in there.

    Thanks Surge
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    No problem! I'm glad you like the site :D
  • iDeveloperiDeveloper Member Posts: 441
    @Surge:

    Thanks for clearing things up :)
    Now I understand what rights I have and don't have.

    Note: When I was talking about Master Resell Rights, I'm used to ebook MRRs, sorry for the confusion.

    I'll also use them in 2D/3D animations when I get the software. (3DS Max FTW)/

    Thanks again!

  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    Here is a sample of images and sounds we are offering with the membership package.

  • steve86steve86 Member Posts: 806
    the font package alone they got its worth much more.. thanks a lot again
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    Thanks Steve! Any developers that haven't signed up it would be in your best interest to get thus discount!
  • BSideGamesBSideGames Member Posts: 392
    I want to sign up but do we have proof that this stuff is royalty-free.

    I would hate to make something then find out that I'm getting sued.

    I'm not saying that you guys aren't legit I just no that royalty-free is a tricky gray area.

    Please in some way show me proof and I'll sign up right now.
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    Im not sure how we can really "show" you but I can assure you that all of the sounds have either been recorded by one of the devs that started the site (including me) or have came from completely royalty free sites over the years that we have been developers for PC and iDevices.
  • BSideGamesBSideGames Member Posts: 392
    So it sounds like the royalty free sites are sites that you guys have done art for, and are now selling them on your own site?

    This is not random art that you have gotten from royalty free sites, is that correct.

    I've purchased art from some sites before and after your membership is over you can no longer use said art. that was more of my concern.

    Like I said I plan to join I just want things to be clear before I start using stuff in projects

    Who the helll is Steve?

    Is anyone else suspicious when 4 day old member's first and only post is a glaringly positive review of a startup with little credibility and questionable legality?
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    Everything is 100% royalty free and continues to stay that way. You will be free to use the sounds and graphics in your apps and games without having to worry about copyright violations. Sign up soon, the 33% off deal ends in just 2 hours!
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    I have samples posted and a lot of GameSalad users signed up, Im pretty sure this is legit. Considering the amount of time and effort that has went into creating and promoting this site...

    I cant help that a new GS developer likes the site. Its aimed at new developers and experienced ones as well. Plus its $10.00, you wont find that deal being offered from anyone else.
