Regarding resources

[Grit]

I'd like to know if there are builds availabile of openbor games where one could just replace sprites, edit code and so on or must it be built from the ground up.
There game in question is Cadillac and Dinosaurs and knuckle bash.
I don't mine either way but if I production could be speed up then all the better for putting out games right!?
The same apply to how enemy and bosses behave with regards to their coding.
All credit would go to their respective parties

you can do modifications and just keep them to yourself,
some creators allow for modificatons of their modules , others dont.

a bunch of creators here grab a module , study it, modify it, experiment and from there build their own game, just make sure to give thanks and acknowledge the creators of the original scripts, at the very least withing the script itself, maye a minimum is a text file and better at the ending credits...

from experience it seems that if you fix a module and make it compatible with the updated engine, wider aspect ratio, add capability for more players, and if you can add additionel levels and original stuff to a module chances are you will have a better chance of sharing your work in this place, of course if the original creator requests otherwise , your work will have to transform in to something else...

its tricky, remember that ultimately its big corpos and the IP owners who can ultimatelly nuke all fan projects from history...
so whatever you decide , keep physical stuff, and share them with people you like...
