>made for fan-project in 3DO's M&M universe. So, do not know if this is a problem, or not.
The fan-project itself might be legally murky, but not the assets themselves. As long as you made them, they're fine.
>Well, may be this can help:
Heh! That's pretty cool. Yeah, some things in that fan project could be trouble (namely, the name; things like "Might & Magic" & "Enroth" themselves are trademarked, I think) but I'm not going to police other projects, just the assets that end up here on OGA. :)
>As for the blend file. I do not know, when I'll share all, but you can tell me if you need someone earlier.
Nope. no rush. It was really just a hopeful request, not a demand or anything. They're your assets and you don't have to do anything with them you don't want to, so I'm not about to start getting impatient with the things you're donating freely. I was just offering to help out if it makes it more likely for you to provide them. :)
Yes, that border is somewhat nebulous, so these things have to be weighed on a case by case basis. As a general rule, if you ripped an image from the game, then changed some things like color or pixels, that would be derivation: not ok. If you looked at the images in the game and said "I like that. I'll make my own version" then modeled them on your own without using the ripped assets to trace or modify, that is inspiration: all good.
>You can search for files with M&M items yourself and if you`ll find something wrong, you can contact me or administration of this site.
Thank you, I'll check for anything that might be touble, but so far I don't see any issues. I would appreciate you telling me if any of it might fall into the derivation category as outlined above, though. Just to speed things along. I don't want developers to get in trouble later if they happen to use this before I've found something that might result in a Case and Desist from Ubisoft.
As for Site Administration, that would be me. :)
Thanks for your quick responses and generous contributions.
yeah, that is a known issue with extended unicode symbols. Glad you got it figured out.
Why wouldn't the .blend files be useful?! If these Prerenders came from them, they're useful, I assure you. :D I would be willing to help out with that if you'd like. Point me to the github!
Being inspired by M&M is fine. Deriving from M&M assets is legal trouble. I believe Ubisoft inherited their trademarks and copyrights, and they aren't known to be forgiving with infringements.
Sounds like they're in the clear if you modeled them all yourself and were only inspired by the 3DO games. :)
Ah, yes. Sorry, at the time there was only a link to his profile and didn't see the Grotto Escape I. His Grotto Escape II is the CC-BY one. Carry on and good work!
These sound effects are just what I needed! I used this in the game Celestite for the recent OGA game jam: https://itch.io/jam/opengame-art-game-jam/rate/162467
Hmm... You're right; I haven't seen any textures like that on OGA. You might be able to cut together something from the forested background scenes like https://opengameart.org/content/forest-scene or https://opengameart.org/content/hd-multi-layer-parallex-background-sampl... since the trees are in their own layers? I'll keep my eye out for some textures like that, though.
BTW, is that Wizardry?

Cool!
Since Ansimuz's original is CC-BY 3.0, you should probably include his attribution line along with yours.
cool. That makes sense; I could see the 3DO inspiration in those videos. Any chance you have the .blend files as well?
Were any of the graphics borrowed from the original xeen or might and magic games?
