As we consider this engine for our first proper game, we would like to know a few things about publishing.
1 - Licensing, are there fees beyond the platform you publish to? are there certain credits required?
2 - Pricing, are you allowed to charge money for your published work?
3 - Royalties, is there a regular or large initial fee to properly and commercially publish your game?
Kindest regards, IHSS PNC DEP
I hope this helps.
- Licensing - there are no fees to using AGS. As for required credits, I think the manual says something about that. But I think everyone is usually ok if you just credit the AGS Team for making AGS. Someone else here can probably verify that though.
- Pricing - it's perfectly fine to charge money for anything made with AGS.
- Royalties - there are no royalties for using AGS.
I'm fairly confident about all of these things. Because if I'm wrong about any of them, then I'm going to be in some trouble. (laugh)
AGS as software is free of charge to use for any purposes, both commercial and non-commercial.
