[Cypha Signals]

IIRC he retired from MUGEN.

IIRC he retired from MUGEN.

That boat set sail long, long time ago.

[Cypha Signals]

are you serious?  I still have to contact him for permission for an important project!  Can anyone get in touch with him?

[Dzayan, The Warrior]

Maybe his stuff is open source
P.S i really hope so..for your holy hiryu

[Acey]

Splode is not open source.

[The Rippah, Roo'Jizah Panzermanathod]

I didn't know he was still "retired". Granted, I haven't been here for months so I didn't know he never came back.

Go to the RandomSelect forum. If anybody knows it's the guys over there.

I think it was funny (blown out of porportion but funny)

Splode is still alive, he's online at times but not on any mugen forums, you can try contacting Kung Fu Man at Random Select and asking through him but I allready know the answer he'll give you.

I've never understood this about Random Select's sacred cows...

If he's retired, why can't you edit his work, exactly? f**k it. Part of staying in mugen is dealing with drama, and if you remove yourself from the scene, you're removed from the right to dispute use of your work. With the exception of original work like Borghi's, none of this stuff can be copyrighted anyway, so it comes down to an issue of honoring rights to credit.

If the creator is active, and doesn't want to share their hard work, choosing instead to make it specifically private or to actively collect credit for it, then tough break. That's entirely their call.

If a creator is inactive, and their work is floating around, and they're not around to give concrete say on whether they're using it for anything, then what's the point of keeping it behind glass?

The reason game companies make REAL full games and we don't isn't because of their level of pay or a disparity in skill. It's because they're unafraid to have 70 guys on a credits scroll without specific accolades.

Infinity's sense of community comes closest to that, which is a start... but mugen's never going to grow if a work-sharing mindset isn't allowed to grow with it.

I wish I could add-on to this
but all I can say is.

I agree with the post above Negi's.

Dont get me wrong, asking for permission is basically a common courtesy thing to me, but if someone wants to take someones work and edit it ,(such as the topic starter is doing), and giving credit to the original creator of whatever mugen works the editor chooses to alter, then it shouldn't be a big issue.

We all know who originally created that strider, The person who wishes to alter it into his likings also stated who was the original author, and im sure that he/she finish with the edited creation, the readme or release topic will again point out who was the original author.

So my conclusion of this is, I feel there is no need to contact Splode for permission as long as he was credited from the start to the end.

Same goes for any body works with the exception of custom made materials such as Reu's dragonclaw, Borghis creations and things in that fashion.

Just my insight thats all.
