question about the key for picture and audio while deploying

[ashyramoonwolf]

Basically i don't know what does it do, is it to prevent people to edit file or to take them from the game???
Sorry if i open a topic only for that..

You mean encrypting... why, YES of course!
When others download your game, they should stick to just download to play your game. Not for "Yaay! Free arts and music!".
The feature to encrypt your resources is for that specific purpose, especially for commercial game. Sorry, but the logic "I paid for the game, so the resources is all mine!" doesn't work that way...

I know it! LOL if it were Nintendo couldn't be such a pain in the a** for all fan game... Xp
Ok ty then that is good to know! As i edit picture and make my own music.... Next update will be encrypted that way!

Also keep in mind that encryption is not always optional.
If you make your own resources, you can freely decide wether you encryption your game or not. Giving resources for free or credit sometimes works as advertisement.

If you use resources given by other people like in the free resources section of this forum, you need to follow those artist terms of service, including if they way something on encryption.

If you use a purchased shop resource, that resources EULA usually requires encryption and your game can be taken down if it contains such resources unencrypted.

This is to avoid all those things that i edited and make as many thing as i can. Are ressource delivered with the logicial are free in right btw? Even if i changes many things, they still are bought but are also in trial....
I don't know how i'll manage it. I think picture will be free with the game later but not the OST. Like many already make it....
