Looking for authors of these sites.

I'm looking some way to contact the authors of these sites:

http://cocodoco.chu.jp/main/game.html

http://agustofwind.web.fc2.com

http://eurs.blog65.fc2.com/blog-category-1.html

With some luck from google translator I was able to translate the japanese. All the sites have terms of use wich indicates that using them in commercial games is approved but must be credited properly.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG but for now, I'm trusting google.

I think you will need to hire a Japanese translator, my friend.

Kingdom Rise and fall:

管理人：そーいち（kingdom_rf@hotmail.co.jp） Welcome to"Record of rise and fall".This is Soichi's site.Distributes the material for "RPG Maker" in this website.Unfortunately.I'm afraid I cannot reply to English messages (, as I'm not good at the language). Thank you for your understanding.Popodotdianca2222@gmail.com

Cocodoco has a mail form for Japanese only here

Gust of wind - no luck so far

Closet

Worked with google translator and got some info out of those sites and edited the first message. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

Ahh, you said you wanted to contact them....


I cannot find Popodot's statement that commercial is okay, myself.


Maybe I am missing it?

利用規約

 

OK

 

加工なんでもOK!

RPGツクール以外のゲームでもOK!

R-18のゲームでもOK!

Translates to: 

OK

 

OK anything processing!

It is OK in games other than RPG Maker!

OK in the game of R-18!

 

It a bit off yeah, but from now I assume it's ok. Hopefully OK translates OK in every language, lol. Althou I have tried to reach the author also and have "secondary" material available if the commercial use is not prohibited.

 

And contact, yes, just to be 100% sure.

Wow crazy stuff, I think the translator can suffice... I don't know if you can afford it, but even still it would probably be best to hire or find someone who can actually read it cleanly. Don't wanna run into trouble overseas!

Popodot doesn't say it's allowed (or not) for commercial use. It's no where really mentioned. Same with A Gust of Wind.

Cocodoco, Closet and makpri allow commercial use. Credit is required for all, but makpri asks you either comment or send them a mail when you use their materials (this rule seems to also be when you use their resources in non-commercial games).

Legally, you are also only allowed to use Closet's materials, if you own VX.

Thanks for verifying this! Of course giving Credits should be self-explanatory. Been trying to message Gust of Wind and Popodot authors with no luck :/

You could comment on A Gust of Wind's blog and hope they'll reply through there. And grandma Deb posted Popodot's e-mail.

How about his site: http://blog42701.blog42.fc2.com/blog-entry-2.html ? Anyone can translate since google translator makes it gibberish.

This is the real terms of use page.

Unless a work is tagged as Original, since he's editing/using First Seed Material, you must also abide with their Terms of Use (FSM's).

You are allowed to modify the work, but give credit and link to the site.

If you redistribute it without modification, you're not allowed to claim it as your own and might as well just link to the site.

You can't use it for Shareware (so I'm guessing no commercial work).

You can't use it for R-18.

You can't use it outside of RPG Maker.

Seems like he's asking that you post in the bulletin board+screenshot when using their work.

Still need info about Kingdom rise and fall and popodot... Anyone?

makapri = Kingdom Rise and Fall

=]

Doh, didn't know makapri is kingdom rise and fall but thank you for that and for a quick reply!

How about that site? That link goes straight to it's terms of use.

Okay lemme try.
 
Since some materials are a modification of RPG Maker VX materials, they're for RPG Maker VX only.
If you want to use it on another maker, you need to own RPG Maker VX to use them.
There are original facesets, so you can use them on any RM or outside of RM.
 
S/he doesn't seem to be concerned about copyright, since it's a pain. As long as you follow the above and following:
 

Permission:
> You can modify them however you want.
> Can be not or credited at any way or form. (Only for free games) [Feel free to correct me on this one, it confuses me]
> Can be used in R18+ games.
> For commercial work, credit is needed as described.
(I honestly don't understand the last bit about as described. I'm guessing it's about shared copyrights with RM and FSM, feel free to correct me)
 
> FSM-related something about their forums and if you use her work to modify and to fullfill a request.
> Something about FSM again.
> Something about Facesets being for game introductions????
 

Prohibited:
> Secondary Distribution (aka don't distribute her stuff elsewhere as is)
> Direct Linking to images are bad.
> Unauthorized reproduction or remake of an image? (I don't get it too well)

I probably means not to share an edited image without his/her consent.

Does anyone know the terms of Inquisitors tilesets? His site is down. :(

You can see his stuff here: http://www.rpg-palace.com/visual-resources/tilesets-rmxp

And since he's active there, try PMing him?

You'd also want to confirm if you are asking about Inquisitor's tiles made for XP, or Tioluko's own reformat revsion for VX. If Inquisitor doesn't allow commercial use, that would apply to both XP and VX, but if he does allow commercial use, you'd then need to check with Tioluko for VX since some tiles in the VX revision aren't Inquisitor's.
