DMJ Graphics Usage?
Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 6:27 am
Greetings,
I am working on a graphics conversion that can be used with various DM clones. Much of this started with dungeon graphics from DM2, but I'm also interested in updating monsters and items.
What I'm trying to figure out is what the usage status is on the graphics included with Dungeon Master Java. I've obtained permission from some of the artists that have created supplemental graphics, but cannot reach Alan Berfield or Kelly regarding their work. I'm also not sure what each artist was responsible for, so I'm not sure how to verify that I'm not collecting graphics that I don't have permission to use.
The intention of this project was just to provide a complete, updated dungeon graphics set for DM clones, mostly from DM2. As that is more or less complete, I moved onto monsters, of which many were updated for DMJ. I created replacements for the remaining monsters that were never updated. Now I'm looking at the possibility if updating the items in the game, many of which are only included in DMJ and Kelly's addon packs.
If anyone has advice, suggestions, or comments, I would greatly appreciate them.
