... that I just stumbled across something that made me feel very good about myself. I came across a couple of games and resource packs that had some of my stuff in it! And that gave me emotional wood!
So for everyone out there that both creates and uses the resources that others create (I'm sure many of us fall into both categories), this is why credits are important! But, just finding that someone felt that some of the stuff I made for others to use was quality enough that it was put in a game made me feel great! I didnt get any credit in the resource pack, which is fine, but it still felt great to just stumble across my own content being recognized.
I know I havent made a great deal of content, a few scripts, one major one, and only bits and pieces of artwork here and there, so I really had no idea if anyone was actually using any of my stuff until I came across not just one but two instances of stuff being used! Unlike Piracy, its exactly what I wanted! I didnt feel ripped off. I didnt feel like someone stole from me. I felt the exact opposite! I felt honored! I felt like I did a good job, and others actually appreciated the small content that I used.
So now, the question for everyone isnt so much about using other peoples stuff, but how much time do you spend looking for specific types of content? Either Sprites or Scripts? If you were looking for a Sprite, did you find it was easier to make that Sprite yourself, or were you lucky enough to come across a Sprite that suited your needs exactly? Same thing with Scripts. Were you able to find the Script you felt your game needed?
Do you guys have any idea how great it makes the content creators feel when they / we see their content actually in use?
