Hi everybody
I got two spare codes that I have and I wonder if I could post them in my thread "demos for everyone(http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/57450/demos-for-everyone#latest)
I made them to learn more about gamesalad. The problem is that is out as templates on gshelper.com
The two games is a fully funcitnal "4pics1word" and a trivia game(but in the trivia game you need to add you own timer and so on) But my question is. Can I post these two. It's already at the market as template but it's still okey like a nice gesture?
AND NO!!! This question is not only for @uptimistik and @Braydon_SFX. And I have not bought their templates and trying to steal them. I've done them myself :)

    No, Like I said. I haven't bought any if the templates, so I don't have them.

    My opinion, and is only that of an opinion and is not backed up by any legal advice ect.
    Yes, it should be fine, people give free demos all the time, TSHIRTBOOTH gave free demos all the time.

    However in doing so you would be affecting the business of those who work at GShelper.com
    And there is a lot of people associated with them. And don't expect them to be happy with you.

    In my opinion there shouldn't be anything stopping you from doing this, as long as its your own code and haven't copied and sections, they don't own it, they copied off another game and choose to sell it as a template. They could have given it away free but they are a business.

    It comes down to your morals in terms of business. (If they still have any these days) but it would be recommended to talk to the members at GShelper.com and just communicate your intentions.

    They may, chances are slim,not worry too much about it since there are different ones popping up for sale everywhere. So GShelper properly isn't your only concern.

    I don't think there is anything stopping you from doing and I don't think anyone can stop you, just be prepared for the affects that come away giving away something free that others charge.

    Again this just may opinion, I don't sell templates so I don't know if doing this affects the sales ect.

    Cheers

    @Fajlajp as long as its all your own code and graphics I see absolutly no problem with it, and some people can't afford to be buying templates all the time and are really greatful for free templates.. That's just my opinion :)
  • FajlajpFajlajp Member Posts: 666
    Okey. I will post it later on tonight. I just waiting on a answer from Gshelper to hear their opinion

    I dont see why not. I know what template you are talking about, and it will be fine for you to give away to others. It is 100% your code so you have nothing to worry about. It could take a while for GShelper to respond to your question, I have been waiting 1 week for a reply on one of their templates. May be they are really busy. Its nice of you to help the community :D

    @Fajlajp
    If it's your work you have absolutely no reason to ask GShelper anything.
    You can do what the hell you like with it!

    It’s not a bug – it’s an undocumented feature

    I agree as long as you didn't look at their templates and get the coding ideas from them you're good. Kind of like copyright. If you looked at someone's script idea and then wrote your own with slightly different concepts that would be stealing an idea but if you just happened to write something similar without ever seeing someone else's work then you're good.

    yep ... post away if its all your own work...

    I'm sure there are many other point and click adventure templates available both free and for sale out there. So stormy studios, GSHelpers and DeepBlue Apps are probably not the only ones.

    Which template would that be @bluemoonstudios? And what was the date of your query?
