NaGaDeMo and stolen property

Today I bought a book called "What Colour is your Parachute" which is about how to find work.
Ha ha ha! That's funny. I waste all my time on RPG Maker.

I suppose it goes without saying that the next SD release is to be my official NaGaDeMo entry. Although it's kind of cheating since I'd have released it anyway.

Here is a hint for one of the new enemies in chapter 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI93V2RNX94

Speaking of which, I was wondering how much you can get away with in terms of stealing sound and music resources when you're making games just "for fun". I ask because I've noticed many other games on this site that clearly take it a lot more seriously than I do ... I mean, choosing music for your soundtrack is one of the funnest parts of making a game, and it's true that I've stolen sounds and music from Freelancer and Unreal Tournament and Half-Life and all kinds of other games, but then, if it's all just "for fun," does it really matter? This is the biggest reason I'm reticent about asking for donations.

I both agree and disagree on the sound front... Yeah it can be cool and tbh even octoshmup currently uses sounds ripped from a HL1 mod for weapons and stuff (the specialists! represent ;_;) but maaaan I still wish this game were being made "for realz" so that's where my disagreement comes in, also some of the sounds, most notably the HL1 ones are erring on the side of "too iconic/memorable" so they will forever belong to Hl1 and feel out of place anywhere else. But otherwise, meh.. It's not such a big deal really I suppose? It's not like you're trying to make money from SD or anything.

if you don't like stolen sound (and avoid legal problems) you could try to search here or other game development forums if someone is taking sound commission for free...
i always do that for my game sound...

At this point I've all ready used so much stuff, I think it's too late to swap it out. :( I'll probably just stick with it.
