My first playtest: I was able to pass the music puzzle. Then in the stealth game I was able to grab 3 things (boots, belt and something else). But I couldn't find the exit: https://endlessm.github.io/threadbare/branches/Game-Lab-4-0-UTP-Group-8-Team-5/cleanup-for-pull-request/#quests/story_quests/ElUltimoBosque/1_ElUltimoBosque_stealth/ElUltimoBosque_stealth .

EDIT: After opening the storyquest in Godot, I see that after the 3 things are collected, a collision named "obstacle" is removed, which is surrounding the person at the beginning:

Hi! Yes, the goal of this stealth minigame is to collect the three items in the maze in order to rescue the person you see from the start. Once you’ve collected them all, the invisible wall disappears and you can rescue them. Interacting with the person sends you to the final minigame, which is the combat one

Just reviewing the asset licenses based on the list above, without looking at the git tree:

Assets: Pixel Art Top Down - Basic – Free commercial use (no redistribution) – by Cainos https://cainos.itch.io/pixel-art-top-down-basic

Including the asset pack in this public git repository is redistribution, so unfortunately this license makes this asset pack unsuitable for this project. These assets will have to be replaced.

Jungle Tileset – Free commercial use – by finalbossblues https://finalbossblues.itch.io/tf-jungle-tileset

The licensing here is a bit vague for my liking. But I explored a little and found https://finalbossblues.com/timefantasy/free-graphics/ which says:

Terms: Most of the graphics on this site are free with no strings attached. Do whatever you want with them: using them in commercial projects is fine. Edit them all you want. No credit necessary.

Some graphics are for non-commercial use only. It will be noted on the post. If it doesn’t say anything about restrictions, then there are none.

https://finalbossblues.com/timefantasy/freebies/jungle-tileset-free-release/

doesn't add any restrictions. So I think this set is OK. Perhaps we can reach out of the author and ask them to release such assets under a standard license (CC0 is clearest!).

RPG Nature Tileset - Seasons – CC0 – by Stealthix https://stealthix.itch.io/rpg-nature-tileset

✅

Grass & Road Tiles – Free commercial use – by CardinalZebra https://cardinalzebra.itch.io/grass-road-tiles

Non-standard license but it seems pretty clear:

Feel free change and edit it whatever you like and use it at any project ( commercial or non-commercial ). Credits are not required, but I will appreciate it.

Pirate Bomb – CC0 – by Pixel Frog https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/pirate-bomb

✅

Swamp Creature – Free commercial use – by Tiago Melo https://tiago-melo.itch.io/swamp-cretaure

Unclear license - does not clearly allow modification. So far all assets in the tree allow modification. Perhaps we can contact the artist to ask them to clarify the licensing terms, ideally by placing the assets under a standard Creative Commons license, or failing that to be clear that modification is allowed.

Character Templates Pack – Free commercial use (no direct resale) – by erisesra https://erisesra.itch.io/character-templates-pack

We are not directly reselling the assets. I think this license is OK.

Tiny Swords – Free commercial use (no redistribution) – by Pixel Frog https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords

Placing these assets in the threadbare repo is redistribution so the current version of Tiny Swords is not acceptable in this project. However we do have an older, CC0-licensed copy of Tiny Swords in assets/third-party/tiny-swords. Can you adjust the storyquest to use those instead?

Music: Beilstone – CC0 – by Pixabay Music https://pixabay.com/music/main-title-beilstone-116426/

The license here is not CC0:

Free for use under the Pixabay Content License

https://pixabay.com/service/license-summary/ says:

You cannot sell or distribute Content (either in digital or physical form) on a Standalone basis. Standalone means where no creative effort has been applied to the Content and it remains in substantially the same form as it exists on our website.

https://pixabay.com/service/terms/ has the full license. My reading of section 5 is that including the unmodified audio file in this public Git repository constitutes distributing the file in standalone form. So unfortunately I don't think we can add this to the repository. 😦

(There is a section of the terms that says “CC0 Content on the Service is any content which lists a "Published date" prior to January 9, 2019.” but unfortunately this music was uploaded in August 2022 so is not covered by CC0.)

Hi Will! What should we do with the assets that are questionable or don’t allow redistribution? Should we replace them ourselves or try contacting the students to make the changes?

Hi @Arebuayon ! I'm not Will :) but here is my opinion: You are submitting other people’s work on their behalf. So you could ask the learners if they want to do the extra effort of replacing the assets with compatible licences as described in this guide. You shouldn't change their work without them knowing, and is also not fair for you do this extra effort.

In the future, hopefully we can warn the learners early about licence issues.

Hello @Julio-737, @cielo1314, @JacsonAulla

Just in case, are you going to continue working on this StoryQuest?

[Arebuayon]

Hi! Yes, the learners have been making the changes and they've already pushed them to their fork. I just need to finish cleaning up any unnecessary changes to prepare the pull request properly and submit it again.

[github-actions]

Play this branch at https://endlessm.github.io/threadbare/branches/Game-Lab-4-0-UTP-Group-8-Team-5/cleanup-for-pull-request.

(This launches the game from the start, not directly at the change(s) in this pull request.)

Excellent! I think learners are supposed to open a ticket if they want to contrinue their StoryQuests in the new program. For example this is the one from Sueños Nocturnos: #1079 . Please make sure they have opened one.

[manuq]

@Julio-737, @cielo1314, @JacsonAulla hi! Is there any update?

[JacsonAulla]

Hello, we recently created the ticket, I’m not sure if it is active?
@cielo1314 and myself will be working on this case.

[wjt]

Hi all, any updates here? It seems that the main blocker was to replace assets under licenses we can't use in Threadbare.

[cielo1314]

Hola a todos, ¿alguna novedad? Parece que el principal obstáculo era reemplazar recursos con licencias que no podemos usar en Threadbare.

Buenos dias. Sí, esos cambios ya se realizaron, están en la rama main de nuestro trabajo.

Hola @cielo1314. Excelente. Entonces deberían abrir un pull request desde la rama main de ustedes, o actualizar esta rama (cleanup-for-pull).

Hello @cielo1314. Excellent. Then you should open a pull request from your main branch, or update this one (cleanup-for-pull).
