I am pretty sure there is a difference between using well recognized graphics from games that came out 14 years ago to using perhaps unknown graphics that one dude edited/created within the last three or four.

The major problem with taking graphics from other RPGMaker games is that people pretty much assume wherever they were seen first has some magical claim to them, so if I take graphics from some obscure game and use them for a more well-known game, those graphics are associated with my game, not the game that they originated from.

Nobody is going to see an FF6 chip and go "this chipset is from an Rm2k3 game" but they might see a custom RM2k3 chip and think "this chipset is from SUCHANDSUCH game" where it really wasn't

I mean, if I used a panorama from The Way people would probably be able to guess, but there are lots of obscure games and custom content and it is a pretty horrible thing to do to use it without permission if its possible to get that permission. Even if you at no point claim to have made it yourself (or even if you say in big letter who the original author was) a lot of people are going to associate that content with your game as the original source, which is bad business all around.

You're right yeah. Thinking about it, considering how long-winded and tiresome it is to just do some heavy edits.. I'd be pretty upset if somebody bigger/better than me were to use my custom content. Some guys on here are more "famous" in the community than others and franky, put out some much more awesome games than I could muster myself right now. I'd be gutted if something I painstakingly pixelled together was used without my permission.

Anyways, I'll be asking the relevant sources, there are a couple.. And I don't think they actually made or even maybe edited the particular resources I used (they tend to tag their custom resources from what I've seen).. However... I'll ask anyway.

I'm sure far more time, effort, and money went into making tilesets for big-name SNES games than went into a custom tileset for an RM* game. It's awfully hypocritical for someone to flip shit at someone else for taking their original graphics while they themselves use graphics stolen from someone else.

They also got rewarded financially for their time and effort :P

To use resources dug out of other people's project folders for your own game after you've installed their game?

Open question...

The main character's a man?!
