New EULA and Modding Agreement for Game Dev Tycoon – free to adapt for your own projects

Patrick November 12, 2013 No Comments

The upcoming release of Game Dev Tycoon (1.4.5) will ship with a new EULA and a new Modding Agreement.

The new EULA is not only easier to read but also changes a few important things:

  1. You can now monetize your ‘Let’s Play’ videos of Game Dev Tycoon without having to ask permission first.
  2. Using mods is now allowed for the paid version of the game.

The new Modding Agreement finally enables modders to create mods for Game Dev Tycoon.

Modding

Modding support is currently in beta but we are already seeing some impressive mods.

We still have to tidy a few things up before going out of beta but the next update should come with mod support and a bunch of mods to play with 🙂

Yay, legal documents, adapt it for your own projects

If you are not just into game development while playing the game but you are also into software development in real life then we have even better news for you. We believe in giving back to the community and that’s why we put our EULA and Modding Agreement under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. What does this mean? You can adapt these documents for your own games (incl. commercial games) free of charge. All you have to do is keep the attribution paragraph intact.

These aren’t just documents we threw together. Both documents were prepared by IDEALAW, a law firm specializing in Australian IT law. Massive kudos to IDEALAW for enabling us to release these documents under such a license. If you have further requirements (and you are in Australia) we highly recommend IDEALAW for their down to earth, straightforward and professional business practices.

Please note: Neither Greenheart Games, nor IDEALAW in any way imply that these documents are fit for your purposes. They were created specifically for Greenheart Games, applying Australian law, and may not be suitable for your particular needs.

  1.  EULA
  2. Modding Agreement

I might add that it’s very rare that companies publish legal documents under such a license. Enjoy, and tell your developer friends 🙂
