Information and guidelines for this category

[Luanti]

This forum is meant only for game release topics. You may discuss about games in their topics.

Posting a game:

You post your game in "WIP Subgames" according to these guidelines, and post a request in Topic Move Requests. A moderator will move it into here if the post is correctly formatted.

• A [Game] posted in here should include an entire folder that can be dropped into the games folder of the client.

Subject of topic must be in one of these formats:

• [Game] <Game Name>
• [Game] <Game Name> [<version number>]

for example: "[Game] SkyBlock [0.1.4]"

Post must contain at least:

• Description of game (can be short or long)
• License of code (e.g. LGPL, BSD, CC0) (see end of post for more info)
• License of textures and sounds (e.g. CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA) (Public Domain is NOT a license)
• Authors, release topics or websites of all mods in the game (if applicable)
• Download link - a .zip file, containing the game folder AND/OR a link to ContentDB
• Also, preferably: List of crafting recipes or game wiki and some screenshots

Releasing a new version of a game:

Always do this in the existing topic of the game. It is recommended to update the first post, but leave old download links available if possible, and also post a release notice in the topic.

Disallowed licenses and recommendations:

The use of licenses which do not allow derivatives or redistribution is not permitted. This includes CC-ND (No-Derivatives) and most other non-free licenses.
The use of licenses which discriminate between groups of people or forbid the use of the content on servers or single player is also not permitted.

Public domain is not allowed as a license because jurisdiction about what "public domain" means varies between countries. Release your work under CC0 instead (or in addition).

Schools hate WTFPL due to its choice of words. It is preferable to use CC0 instead.
