For normal desktop applications and for android i use Python Kivy.
While Kivy is still a bit young its quite neat to use and can create a clean interface also i feel the Developers are quite enthusiastic developing it.
Most functions you need from an Gui are there.
However since it is young there is a tendency to get frustrated when you cannot find something in the Documentation.
Otherwise when i remember right Unity is capable to run from Browser directly. I have not yet worked with it but if you want to make something to put to kongregate.com it would be my first approach.
Well RenPy does not look universal usable but rather specialized.
So if you would want to spezialice in Novels way to go but if you want to learn Programming i think i would rather discourage it since it might end up as waste of time when you want to learn a different branch.
It looks good, however i cannot imagine how the lowest middle plate of the roof could bend like that... Atleast not if its a normal building materal (not chocolate or something funny)
Does however apply to the knowledge of the Law, not about the Knowledge of the circumstances you are in.
Just assume a worker whos job is to fire an oven, now inside the Oven an other Worker is who does not belong there and he dies.
Usually the first Worker would not be liable assuming he did go through all safty protocols and did not make an mistake.
So if someone Frames you by giving you a work and pretends he is the copyrightowner and you end in court you would have had full knowledge of the Law, but in your certain situation you would not know that you accidently broke it since you were not aware of the circumstances in question.
so generally I would advise you to avoid CC-BY works unless you are distributing a DRM-free PC game (eg. a game where you directly distribute a .exe installer yourself either on your own web site or on a DRM-free store like itch.io, etc).
in concern to normal apk packed android games which have the images and stuff not seperately encodet.
"remember this: 50% of people in the United States cannot identify either Mexico or Canada on a map. These people gather in discussion forums and have arguments with one another on their respective interpretations of what CC licensing means and how it is applied. In short, CC is just not the best model for the general public"
Is this the only issue i could encounter with cc Licenses?
Can i use CC-BY-SA safely in android games?
Most Items i use from oga are CC-BY so whats exactly the difference between CC-BY and CC0 where could i run in trouble and what do i need to look out for?
I am aware of this in the end it means if we want to use any photo we must make sure that the uploader is the real Author and in case of doubt contact him.
Its tha Main reason why i avoid to use Photos at all from such sites.
On the other Hand for most stuff here on oga its much more likely that something tagged with cc is really cc and its more easy to trace.
Also there is this question with the law that People can be hold liable even when they did not knowingly did something wrong, this law looks like made for big corporations and i am sure they did pay the Lawmakers on their payroll well for it.
Tozan i think the discussion what would be better or how to improofe the system is leading too far and kinda pointless since i doubt the Authoritys who decide this will read this thread.
You asked what you can do to be sure to not get legal troubles.
So i think the best answer is Pray or dig through all concerning Patents ;)
Oh I found something nice from Microsoft:
Microsoft knew players would want to share information about the numerous ways they killed people.
Excerpt from the patent: Systems and method for providing a game achievements system where players are rewarded with game achievements based on mastering certain in-game facets of the games they play. Each game achievement may be conveyed in a profile as a badge or trophy, title, description, date, etc. Players may also accumulate points based on game achievements. A display interface may be made available such that a player may see his achievements and total points, as well as those of others.
So be sure to never include achievements in a game!

Well i think to edit it its better to use photoshop anyways but if one wants just extract some layers gimp would do completely fine.
I took the orb and the bonfire and created an orb set:

My question was about this line:

in concern to normal apk packed android games which have the images and stuff not seperately encodet.
So can all this images be safely used as cc0?
"remember this: 50% of people in the United States cannot identify either Mexico or Canada on a map. These people gather in discussion forums and have arguments with one another on their respective interpretations of what CC licensing means and how it is applied. In short, CC is just not the best model for the general public"
That is actually the real disaster
