Content Pack Publishing

by James Hartley · in General Discussion · 02/17/2007 (2:01 am) · 4 replies

I wanted to know whats the deal with publishing content packs? Im currently only playing around with the demo of TGEA and would really like to buy it, but alas, no dough, so ofcourse I thought maybe GG will publish some of my 3D art? but after looking on the website theres no FAQ's or anything related to it, just an e-mail, but as I know the good staff of GG is busy I decided to just ask on the forums.

So, what are the royalties, what should I do/look out for

just some basics would be nice. and how good do I have to be to actually get one approved? Im pretty darned good if I do say so myself ;) but I would like a little guestimate on how good thanks

Sorry for asking for so much, but I think someone should add a Content Publish FAQ similar to the one they have on game publishing

Oh yeah, and how old would I have to be? im 17 but dont exactly have a bank acc, would paypal work?

Yes, thats the site I went to, but the only thing It really says is to contact tima@garagegames.com when I would rather not bug someone via e-mail about these questions when I can just use the forums

I was saying they should list more about it likes they do with publishing games

just saying contact tima@garagegames.com leaves much to the imagination, Although Im wondering if I just should, does anybody here know any specifics about it?

Well, most likely you would have to work through your parent or legal guardian since you are a minor. Remember that quality is one requirement while need is another. If you are making a car pack identical to the Hummer or the Car Pack, you probably won't be selling it here just because that niche is filled. It doesn't mean that you won't definitively, but it makes sense to not confuse people with two hummers, etc. I would contact Tim and see what needs to be done!
