Hey the music use is kinda disrespectful in the current state. You give credits to yourselves but not the musicians inside the main menu and you ignore NIN Ghost's cc-by-sa's terms, like the game having to be cc-by-sa-nc [MAYBE. I'm not sure about it and I'm not a lawyer and lawyers are probably not sure either] and having to provide detailed attribution (song title, sometimes url to source). Also not sure what license the freemusicarchive stuff is but might suffer from similar issues.

[feel free to delete this comment, I would do the same esp. once fixed]

Hey thanks for bringing that up, now that I look at the credits on the page I agree they make it hard to trace back to the songs. I'll see with the others if we can get that fixed at least for the page, for the game though upload is blocked until the gamejam judging period ends so we can't update yet.

Edit : Pardon my ignorance but what does a game have to do to comply to cc-by-sa-nc ? Everything I read online is quite confusing.

I'm not a lawyer. I might be wrong (that the license has to apply or how it has to apply).

If you decide that it does has to apply to your game, you probably just need to add the license to the game and state that it's licensed under it.

And then people are allowed to use the game and whatever they can extract under the same license I guess.
