I was looking through my old sprites again and after a bit of reflection, I feel that my rules for using the Conflict of Interest sprites are more strict than I would like. So, I'm going to be much, much more open with my permission on using them.
The original rules:
Quote:
Now that I'm finished with Conflict of Interest, I've decided that I'll be a bit more open with letting people use the characters. If you want, you have my permission, so long as you follow these rules:
1) Give me credit for my work
2) In parody work (such as Phoenix Wrong-type material or impromptu roleplaying) anything goes. Do whatever you want.
3) In serious work (like fan games or fanfics or fan comics) please keep the OCs in character with how they were in the game. Character development is okay. Total derailment is not. Use your own judgement, but if you think it might be a grey area, ask me.
4) I'd prefer the COI sprites to remain unique to the characters from the game. If you want to use my OCs in your own game, that maybe will be fine. However, I'm gonna have to say no to the sprites being used for a completely new OC. So if you really like Gladys Porter's sprites, you'll have to use them for Gladys Porter, not an OC that you created yourself.
And...
The new rules:

I'm aware that one of the biggest barriers for people making fangames is the artwork. And, well... CoI has a LOT of sprites that you could potentially use. I want this community to have as much access to sprite material as possible, so I'd like to give back. Don't worry about keeping the people in character or even keeping them with the same name. Do whatever the heck you want.
It would be way too much work for me at this point (and not really worth it for myself) to convert every single image into a .gif. However, I still have the sprite sheets. If you want to use them for whatever reason, just shoot me a PM and I'll send them to you. (Or download the game, since they are, of course, in there too.)
Hope this helps people!
