Can I use this open-source music (with credits, of course)? Or are there copyright issues that might prevent my game from being rated? Here's the song: https://youtu.be/1RiaSfzxS90

💜 "Fire" is 👉FREE-to-use on YouTube, Twitch and other social media channels. HOWEVER TO PROTECT YOU FROM INVALID CLAIMS YOU WILL GET A CLAIM FROM MY MCN “THE DISTRICT”. You can dispute that claim, saying you have a license, and then simply put “TheFatRat” (without parentheses) into the note section. No further explanation needed. If you credit me properly (copy paste the credits below) the claim will be released and you can monetize the video yourself. Also you won’t lose any revenue that’s made between the dispute and the release. YouTube holds it back for you.

Looks like they said it's ok!

[iqnite]

You definitely deserve one of those Mona prints!

[sudoyasir]

@iqnite No doubt bro 🔥

[lu2000luk]

You definitely deserve one of those Mona prints!

🙏Thanks (=

[Ileolami]

Here is my entry

[iqnite]

Very cool design, love it!

[lu2000luk]

When will resoults be released? And also, the contest is over, i submitted my entry, can i still make new commits to it?

[iqnite]

There's some info here.

About whether you're allowed to commit... I have no idea, but I hope so, as I've made some changes to the game after the deadline. I think that they'll count them in, as this is a contest and not an exam.

Again, you made a really cool game!

[morganersery1]

Thanks to all who participated! We had 15 forks of the repo and 4 final Discussion entries, which means: @iqnite, @lu2000luk, @Ileolami and @sudoyasir - you're all getting Mona prints! You should expect an email with a link to a form allowing you to provide an address where we can send your print. Congrats! And great work!

[iqnite]

Wow thanks a lot guys! Also for making this challenge, it kept me motivated to code!

[iqnite]

Did you guys receive your Mona print by now? Or are also waiting? Just to make sure I didn't do anything wrong.

[morganersery1]

Hello - sharing an update. All posters have been mailed out. They should arrive either by end of this week or end of next week via FedEx & DHL (depending on the recommended carrier for your area). Sorry for the delay. They're on their way!

[iqnite]

Got an SMS from FedEx this morning, though it was a scam at first. Thanks for the info and for the posters!

[Ileolami]

I didn't get any response ever since I've filled my details

@iqnite I was able to get in touch with Fedex again regarding this shipment. They say it was delivered according to your local post, but since you're saying it was not, I am filing a claim to ensure they continue investigating.

It's not a problem with the delivery, the problem is the payment of the fees. Or did I misunderstand something?

[morganersery1]

@iqnite I'm asking for clarification if they've delivered it and are asking for fees or if they're withholding the shipment (and will not deliver) until the fees are paid. I believe both can be resolved with certain paperwork but I would need to know which is the case. If it's request for customs fees has been made, it should be from a local customs office in your country, which is why I ask for a contact. If it is easier, you can forward me the letter you received so that we can work to resolve.

I have already received the package, and there's no way to return it. I will email you the letter as soon as possible.

[lu2000luk]

My package hasent arrived yet.

[sudoyasir]

Same for me :(

[Ileolami]

Awesome, thanks for the update!
