Resources in our game?

I was just wondering if we can use the resources in the resources section in our game. Thanks in advanced!

Absolutely! If the resource has art in it that isn't part of the stock engine however make sure to check with the resource author. I know there are some older resources where the author provided some basic art but specifically stated it couldn't be used commercially.

@Scott Thanks for the quick response! So do we have to notify the author of the resource that we are using it in a game? And do we include credits anywhere in the game to the author/resource?

You don't have to notify them that you're using it, I've seen some ask for a heads up years ago but those tended to be more art centric resources.

It's generally considered a best practice to have an acknowledgement in the credits. I've seen some resource authors specifically request it in the past as part of the resource.
