Game Editor licence changed - Open Source

Postby makslane » Wed Oct 14, 2009 1:17 pm

Hi All,

Game Editor is now an Open Source project. I choose to use a dual license model, with the GPL v3 for open source games, and a payed license for the others.
By using a dual license system, I want to create a self supported open source model, by selling a license to users that's won't to create open source games, sharing the revenues with the developers that's have contributed to the code. The users that's create GPL games can use the software without pay anything.

With this model, I hope the Game Editor continues to evolve for a long time.

Thanks to the future new developers, we will see in the next version features like make games for iPhone, Android, Nokia Maemo, Symbian and many other platforms, besides a new interface, network games and more!

Now,

Have you given out version 1.4.0 or something, because you announced it now?

What do you mean? There is no 1.4.0 version yet.

i don't really plan on selling games anytime soon(if ever). But just to clear things up. If i got GE Full for free through the point system, then it's just like i bought it? As in I can sell games without restriction? This always buged me and i couldnt't figure it out lol :)
Working on a probably too ambitious project! Wild-west-adventure-RPG-shooter-thing.

I'm learning C++ now(yayz!), so I might be able to help out developing GE soon. It might take awhile to learn C++ at my age(i'm 11 lol), but I might be able to help developing GE soon.
