I'm not the originator of this request,but as soon as I read it I
thought that perhaps it'd be of some interest to folks here. Mark
Overmars, the creator of GameMaker, a popular game making program is
looking for someone to create a library of royalty free icons and such
for his next version of the application. It looks like it's a
paying gig, so I immediately thought perhaps someone here might be
interested: http://forums.gamemaker.nl/index.php?showtopic=135436&hl= - Link |

bunch of bull overthere... the fact that he wont let ANY persons under
the age of 18 apply is crappamundo. Like many posters in that
topic have stated, the status of copyright laws allow a minor, along
with their legal guardian, to dually sign the contract to transfer
rights of the artwork. I dont care much for whats going on over
at Game Maker, personally I'll stick with Flash/Object Oriented
Programming.  PS: ThePixelAgency will be the best and easiest place to get paying jobs.  ------------- "At least we killed some boredom..." - Death Note. |

Actually, due to nationally specific age of responsibility and labor laws, it's not. The short reply to the people who suggest co-signing with a guardian is that they're wrong. The long reply is that they're right in principle (assuming the nation in question even honors said contract), but there are so many ways around/through it (the most glaring loophole being a question of the guardian's right to the minor's intellectual property) that for the protection of both parties it's simpler to impose an age limit. Depending on where the contractor and client are based, the age minimum could be as high as 21, or maybe more, although I can't think of any countries off the top of my head where that would be the case. Forgive me if I sound a bit brash but these are the little nuances of the freelance universe you should probably familiarize yourself with before you go about creating a website based around the contract pixel market :P Since some of GM's most hardcore users and fans are minors I'm sure it's as big a disappointment to Mark as it is to those who would like to contribute but can't due to age restrictions... but that's just business. |

before you go about creating a website based around the contract pixel
market :P Well, I am merely the webdesigner/maintainer for the site, my pal xtremetom is pretty much the owner of it. Though, I will most-likely look deep into the legallities of certain contracts of this sort. ------------- "At least we killed some boredom..." - Death Note. |

| I'm already taking a shot at the request since I'm a huge fan of the software and its what my group use to make games. I'm 25 and I ain't too shabby with pixels so am hoping I get the gig. Need me the money anyways. |

 Ah, I see :P It's still good to know if you plan on being any kind of freelance designer, if only to avoid being screwed. I wish I could point you in the direction of some resources for those legalities, but I don't know of any :\ I kinda picked up what I know about it by osmosis, and I'm sure as hell not an authority on it :P if you find any reliable information it'd be cool to put it up on that site of yours. |

Ya, xtremetom has already been diving into legallity documentations for
both International and Stately laws of copyright. I asked him to
send copies of all said documents to me so I could add it into the site
pronto. It will be in the resources section.. when I get to that
section lol.

This might turn into a flame fest because Many spriters myself included love Game Maker. EDIT this is the size of that place

I don't really like the idea of making a bazillion action buttons though...i use pure script.
