Custom License for Metaverse?

Creation of content for Metaverse-related projects and products is prohibited:

As a Metaverse Owner you can not create software that allows a user to create a project (e.g. a game) for other users to experience. You must have a custom license to distribute our assets to users in the platform.

Some examples of software would include platforms like Roblox, Second Life, VRChat.

As a Metaverse user of an existing Game creation software you can use your licenced assets to create a project for other users to experience as long as they remain under your direct control and are not sublicensed in any way.

For example as a player of VR Chat you are able to make a world for other players to visit but they are not allowed to take any assets with them to other worlds not under your direct control.

For example as a Roblox Player you are able to make your own Roblox game but assets are not allowed to be shared with other users for projects outside of your product.

If the platform does not allow the import of asset files then you are unable to use them and the platform owner must custom license the assets.

Custom License for NFT/Blockchain?

Unfortunately we are still working through our NFT licensing. As Steam has banned the creation of NFT projects they seem to have gone more underground with less authentication steps involved.

We want to avoid misuse of our assets especially in scams so currently we have a no NFT or Blockchain policy until we can do further research.

Do you have a roadmap for future asset pack releases?

We do not provide a roadmap. Follow our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/syntystudios/ for news on releases and updates

Do the asset packs include animations?

Unfortunately our assets do not include animations, however we have two videos available to

setup animations for our characters.
