Licensing question
I don't know exactly what this form is. Answering the CAPTCHA for registration had me look up the name of the Lumberjack in Hurnscrald. I found out it is Jack.
However, I am a game developer of sorts. I'm working on a multiplayer wizard/creature tower defense game. I was just fooling around with this [viewtopic.php?f=36&t=14884&start=75] tile set, but I think I have a decently plan for actually going through with a build. I was wondering who I would speak to about permissions? Or what sort of License is the artwork in this thread under?
Thank you.
Alex

(Sorry, could not resist the joke)
But indeed, the correct would be to open a new topic. Unless it is a discussion about this tileset, which I don't remember if it is present as this or not on the new server.
