Hey just wanted to let you know that the license terms you write and the creative commons (namely CC-BY) are kind of contradictory.

CC-BY:

  • Allows redistribution and modification given that the author gets credit for the work.
  • Requires giving the author credit.

CC-BY-ND:

  • Forbids modifications, but still allows redistribution.
  • Also requires to credit the author.

Even the most restrictive CC-BY-ND-NC:

  • requires to credit the author
  • prohibits any modifications
  • prohibits commercial use
  • still allows redistribution

I would suggest picking another license if you want prevent people from redistributing it, even going full copyright in this case.

But you do you and I am not here to judge, it would have been more helpful if you sticked to CC license terms or picked another license as CC is obviously not what you want.

Also think of the legal pit here: if I were to include this asset in my game, and then ship it. This would be redistribution, and I wouldn’t be allowed to do that under your current CC modifications.

Other than that, that’s great work you got there mate. I really like it.

Kind regards
AL

Hey! Thank you so much for pointing this out, you're absolutely right. I hadn't realized that the CC terms conflicted with what i was trying to allow/prevent. My intention was to allow people to use the assets in their games, including commercial projects, while preventing the original files from being redistributed or resold on their own.

I've updated the license terms to make this much clearer. Thanks again for taking the time to explain it, and I'm really glad you like the work! 😊
