Hello, recently today ive downloaded the shared template from shared projects. It name was GS Tap-Tap runner.

It included an thing in the game like "A Wayne Hawksworth GameSalad production" i wonder... Can i remove this sign and publish it to app store without breaking the copyright law.

Sorry if i are stupid
/Vincent.

    "Sorry if i are stupid" .... nice.

    Answering your question. Don't. That's just lazy, annoying, cheap... (I'm sure the list goes on but i need some food).

    ...Again what TShirt said. The templates are to be used as a basis of a game. You should always use your own graphics, sounds and music files really. Then publish and earn away :-)

    Shocked and appalled.

    @Vincenth you disrespect those who are kind enough to try to help, and threaten the nature of this community. (And that kitten thing is probably true too). I hope this was just a silly question, with no real intent behind it.

    I love you Mr Funkleberry. Everytime a retarded question like this pops up you are right there to say what everyone is really thinking. This beers' (that's `ale` in the whatever language you speak in England) for you!

    And Apple has another reason to kill GS support.

    Someone was listening! Awesome!

    Right now, all right-thinking kittens around the world are huddled in fear at the prospect of another template game being published...

    @Vincenth
    Dude, you've already asked this question once in the actual template thread here:

    http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=6651#post-43177

    Did you think asking it again would get you a different response???

    As Wayne and others have said, here as well as there, these templates should be the starting point of your own project. They're not finished games. Which is why they're called 'templates'.

    I'm using one of Wayne's templates as the starting point of one of my games. He makes fantastic little works of art that can get the basics out of the way quickly and are a great resource for learning about various aspects of coding and logic.

    Indeed, the template helped me out on *another* of my little projects. You can learn so much from them about how stuff works.

    My game looks nothing like his template now. It has added features. Good ones. But I was inspired by the template to want to make a game with my stamp on it.

    He asks for nothing in return. Seriously. I've chatted with him via email, met him at the London meet, and his generosity is astounding.

    And yet people seem to think it might be ok to take his work and publish it 'as is' as their own.

    If I can be allowed a little rant, I'm rather depressed at how many people see the iPhone, and making games, as purely a means to a monetary end. There's nothing wrong with making money of course, but not at the expense of someone else's hard work or by offering 'services' that are nebulous at best, and often best described as 'scams'.

    Let me make this perfectly clear. There is no 'easy' way to make money. You have to work at it and you have to earn it. While GameSalad makes putting together a game faster and easier than coding, you still have to *make* a game.

    I get the impression, Vincenth, that you're pretty young. That's cool, there are plenty of young people here. So I'm going to cut you a little slack and say 'Forget you asked this. Let's brush it under the carpet.'

    What I would ask of you in return is that you go away for a day and daydream. Just daydream. Just imagine in your head the kind of game that YOU would like to play. That YOU would like to make.

    Then look into ways that you can make it with GameSalad. It's fun. It'll be hard work, but it's fun. And there are plenty of demos and templates and people here to help.

    TRY IT.

    There's few better feelings than people enjoying something you've made yourself.

    It has also been said that every time someone publishes a template, I KILL THEM.

    Well apparently he wasn't kidding. This is the J/O who stole my game in its entirety...coding, screenshots, logo...even description. WTF???
  • joshmiller602joshmiller602 Member Posts: 206
    Perhaps you shouldn't put your real name on your website if you plan on stealing everyone else's really hard work VIncent.

    A right royal idiot!
    Some people have no respect or values for other.

    @JoshMiller602 If he's stolen one of your games (and others) report him to Apple and GameSalad asap.

    @GameSalad: Ban this user now, immediately. You have a responsibility to your users to show respect and handle matters of theft with the upmost importance.

    It would seem that Jungle Bug is also one of "his" other games...

    I think you can, But Why would you want to publish a template? Its best to just learn from them and then create your own version.

    cheers

    That was the stupid answer. He probably didn't look further.

    NO, YOU CAN'T. period.

    He asked, and he got an answer. He thinks, he is on the safe side.
