TheoTown

Hello, this is (technically) my first post on this forum. As the title says, I am starting out... As well as posting on a forum for the first time (technically.)

And for my first plugin, here's a statue of Rimuru in a 2x2 grid. With the day, night and the original frames attached.
...These are just the images so far... I still haven't figured out the back-end code (if that's the right term) for this. And not only I'm starting out in making a plugin for the first time... But also using the forum for the first time...

While still not being made into an actual plugin for now, I'd like to see and hear some feedback and... If this is okay? I've read the part on the copyright on plugins with the understanding of "until you got permission, you can't just take any licensed works and make it into a plugin without it."

But then again, there's AdmiralCarl's Bikini Bottom Pack and a Luffy (from One Piece by Eiichiro Oda) statue by Jefri a.l that I got the other day for my region, and it's still there to this day (I mean the plugins are still in the store)...

So, I'm left confused. Am I on the verge of infringing copyright or is it okay?

With that being said, thanks in advance for the feedback

I don't think you are. From my understanding, the copyright system here only works for plugins that have stolen textures. For example, directly copy-pasting textures from another game (city building/anyother type) and turning it into a plugin.

You, AdmiralCarl and Jefri did not copy-paste textures, your plugins have actual input by yourselves.
I hope this much helps!

Anyone is free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Ah, I see. Thank you fellow user! (Or should I say fellow citizen?)

Update: Okay, there's actually Rules for Using the Plugin Store (Dec 2018)

No copyright infringement! A copy of a plugin, images or other media is allowed if the original author explicitly permits it to be uploaded to the Plugin Store or if the copy is a replica of the original and recreated from scratch. Plugins cannot contain "memes" or copyrighted trademarks in general (unless you have explicit permission and are able to prove that). If a plugin consists out of memes, it has to be an original creation that is somewhat related to TheoTown. Memes that have copyrighted content like Spongebob or Minecraft in them are not allowed.

And I just realized that now the moment I made another different plugin... On Gold Magnet from PvZ.
