money!

[Tineis]

If you were to actually buy RPG Maker XP, would it be legal to sell?

[Naphe]

Yep. Though guess what. If your looking to make money then I would suggest a different program.

[Tineis]

Sell a game made with it I mean? Sorry for any possible confusion. I was in a hurry.

[Arrow]

That's what he meant.

[Tineis]

Cool, thanks.

[yarub]

There's a way around everything even if it is illegal. For instance, if you're not able to charge someone for the software itself that is required to play the game, you can charge them for the time you put into making it. =P

Dude fuck the idea of selling stuff, it's illegal to sell your stuff. Plus enterbrain will eat your balls for it. They usually don't care about piracy of their products untill some one starts making money.

Lol, you're such a silly man.

Lol, wrong. You can sell your game if you have bought their RM. But you can't sell the RTP or the basic engine. You could sell the game data without including any RTP without problems. Nobody would eat your balls for that.

[SexualBubblegumX]

Okay if you try to make money off something you made with RM, I'LL EAT YOUR BALLS! Damn it, I have morals. And making money from RM games is fucking un-ethical in my opnion.

lawl. Too bad you can't eat Amanda's balls! (the creator or Aveyond)

[SexualBubblegumX]

Women named Amanda should just avoid me in general.

[Dalton]

I'm secretly a woman named Amanda =(

I mean

Why sell a game with RPG Maker?  Why not learn coding and make oyur own engine and sell that?

[Arrow]

I bought a thick book on C++ Friday. It comes with a cd, and I think I should be able to get the hang of it pretty quickly sense I have GML experience. GML is similar, just simpler.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blizzard]

Why not just make a game with RPG Maker and not sell it?

[Twar3Draconis]

Why not make a high quality game with custom graphics, musics and scripts, all made by yourself after writing the story, world and scripts over a total of 3 years, and release it for free? It's all stuff made by you, and you didn't pay anyone else.

Tell me. Why? There would be little compensation for your work.

-or-

Pay other people (professional pixel artists, professional music composers) to make graphics and music for your game, and had it out for free.
Tell me. Why? You are spending money for the enjoyment of others, why not ask for 5 bucks from each person that plays it, so that you can break even from spending 1000 bucks to make a game that is excellent and more than mediocre?

[Blizzard]

If you have made everything yourself OR payed others to make something for you, of course you can sell your game. You just can't sell the RTP by Enterbrain.

[Twar3Draconis]

I was not saying anything about selling the RTP.
I was trying to make a point to the individuals that say that a RMXP game should not be sold.
It's completely okay to sell your game if it has the RTP, although you cannot sell a game that distributes the RTP (i.e. Imported RTP graphics so that the player does not need to install RTP). If you have RTP in your project, you must tell them to download it externally.

[SexualBubblegumX]

No it's not okay. RM games re what they are, games made with RM. They're a HOBBY not a profession. You will make every other RM user look bad if you sell your games. And even if you don't use RTP enterbrain will be ripshit. Don't sell your games, I don't want some one to ruin it for every one else.

You're most likely a kid, hence why you aren't understanding why selling a game made with RM is completely un-ethical.  The simple fact is it's un-ethical due to the fact you could fuck every one on crankeye over. Seriously, I consider most of the people here my friends. I do not want to see them get into problems because you had to be a little go getter who wants extra cash.

[Nightwolf]

this should go in spam after all this baloohulalol

[Blizzard]

I completely agree with that and I consider myself guitly in trying to make TTM a commercial game. But I don't do it out of the reason to earn money, I only do it for better advertise. It's fact that it will get more known around if it actually is sold and not for free, even though 10$ are not much of a price.

[The Mystical One]

What does the license agreement say about selling games made with RPG Maker XP?  I remember Agetec/ASCII's RPG Maker for Playstation specifically stated that you may sell your games, so long as you include their logo with a statement that the game was made with RPG Maker, blah blah blah.

Assuming there is some case with legality, how does selling a game made with RPG Maker XP make other RM users look bad?  Is it just a fear of someone looking better than you?  That's called jealousy.

[Blizzard]

Everybody is making games for free, because they WANT TO and now some smartass comes and wants to sell such a game. How would you feel in this situation? Jealous surely not. Angry? I would be. Especially if the game is just average quality, far worse than your own.

[Arrow]

Games are free right now, and everyone's happy. But if ONE person sells, so too will someone else. Then someone else, and someone else, and etc. Soon, everyone will be doing it, and the fun aspect will be gone.
