I might be wrong, but this could be a huge deal for some devs. In other words, goodbye to microtransactions of a purely cosmetic nature in 2d games. As it stood last year, they had issued a change in licensing terms that meant that while one could use their 3D models, for which one had a license for game development, in 3D games, one could not ask users of such an application to purchase even 2D representations of such content. So, essentially, if you wish to continue using their store or access some pages, you are leveraged into agreeing to retroactive changes. In order to access the licensing language of that page on their store, they required one to agree to changes in the language. Then they started retroactively changing rights to use of said content.

You can laugh at me, but I'm here to help the community learn through my mistakes. I'm here to warn others so they can make a more informed choice. Now, at this point in the story, I've got many thousands of dollars invested in their assets.īTW, I know this is the internet and some people can't help themselves, but I'm not asking for a commentary on the wisdom of doing this. After getting said game license, I invested more in Daz Originals with the idea that I might use these assets in a future game in addition to using it in my art. I thought I'd like to try to use some of the many things I owned already in the experimental development of a game for sale at some future point.

Along the way, I acquired a Daz Originals game indie dev license that was supposed to allow me to use their 'Daz Originals' store content in the development and distribution of games.

I came at this from the angle of doing art using Daz Studio assets first. Okay, first of all, I expect I'll get some flak for this post, but try to remember I'm here to warn the Unity community about something that I think is a problem for anyone considering using Daz Studio content in a game. TLDR, unless you're considering ever doing business with Daz Studio or Morph3D.
