Depends on the engine and licence.

Since it's user uploaded content I wouldn't trust it for that. Might be copyrighted stuff.

I know this is a somewhat old topic, but I would like to ask a question that also fits this topic, I have made the following characters using the site generator, and I wonder if I am breaking the usage laws with any of these items which I used. I am asking precisely because I intend to do a commercial project with these materials.

See my reply again. The engine that has a license to be commercially accessible is not 2003. You could use them in another though, but honestly if you are going commercial I would consider upgrading styles and learning to sprite by hand.

What? No. You're allowed to sell games made in the official version of rpg maker 2003.

As for the resources, looks mostly to be first seed material things. Which I'm pretty sure is licensed so that you're allowed to sell games with them. But hard to say what else might be in there. But to be frank (I'm no lawyer or anything) I really doubt anyone will care unless the game becomes unrealistically huge or you use straight up ripped resources. First off they probably send a cease and desist letter and tell you to take the game down.

But to be safe I would recommend to either:

But to be safe I would recommend to either:
  • Make your own resources
  • Hire someone to make resources for you
  • Use art that is licensed so they can be used in commercial projects (https://opengameart.org/ (https://opengameart.org/))
  • Buy resource packs (https://itch.io/game-assets (https://itch.io/game-assets))

And in 2000 too, since we now have the official version of Steam. Many thanks for the response Momeka, I will follow the steps you recommended.

Well I'll be! I had no clue we could use RPG Maker 2003 commercially. Next Chain Game we should try to sell mayhaps?

In fact, I discovered that a lot of the materials I used were created by Mac & Blue/REFMAP/FSM. So I ask the following question, do they allow editing of the charset made by them?

As far as I'm aware, Mac & Blue allow for editing without problems. However, when the resources were created, the question of selling a RM game wasn't a thing as they were not officially available then. SO I don't know if you could use them in a commercial project, even with edits. Ideally you would want to contact the people who made them directly to know if they'd allow it. or as the others suggested, make your own graphics.
