Icons from ToME appearing in another game?
Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2013 5:33 am
Hi - sorry if this topic was already discussed, I did a search but came up empty.
I noticed that the recently released (and critically slammed) game "Blade of Destiny HD" uses some icons that I know from ToME. As far as I remember, some of ToME's graphics were done by Shockbolt and he explicitly retained copyright, but I'm not sure if the skill icons belong to that material. I'm interested in finding out whether the creators of "Blade of Destiny" licensed work from Shockbolt/ToME, or simply used freely available stock material from the same source, or even 'lifted' material from ToME. Does anybody have any information about that?
I'll add a screenshot. It was taken from the following review, where they appear at about 2 minutes in:
