Keep a provenance record
For every component, record who created it, where it came from, when it was obtained, and which terms accompanied it. Include textures, fonts, sounds, logos, code libraries, and reference-derived elements rather than tracking only the main model.
Store the record with the project so a collaborator can understand the deliverable without searching old messages. A clear inventory also makes it easier to replace a component if its permissions are unsuitable for a later distribution plan.
Define the deliverable in plain language
A buyer should know whether they receive a rendered image, editable source art, a supported-game export, or a service. Those deliverables have different uses and support expectations. Do not rely on a vague label such as “full rights” to communicate a complicated arrangement.
- Identify the files included and the files shown only in a demo.
- State the tested game, platform, framework, and version where applicable.
- Explain whether modification, redistribution, or resale is permitted by the relevant terms.
- Describe update and support scope.
- Keep any required attribution or license notice with the distributed package.
Check the platform as well as the asset
Permission from an artist is only one part of a distribution decision. The game, creator platform, storefront, and payment provider may impose additional conditions. A permitted use in one environment does not automatically authorize a different marketplace model.
The current Cfx agreement is particularly relevant to server-content businesses. Its restrictions include certain third-party aggregation models and other forms of commercial exploitation. Read the current agreement in full and obtain qualified advice for a specific commercial plan rather than treating a checklist as legal clearance.
Do not sell compatibility you have not tested
Keep a clear line between original source art and a game-ready package. If GTA VI support is unverified, say so. A buyer can still commission or evaluate source art without being told that it has already passed a nonexistent integration process.
Use a short release record for each version: files, tested environment, known limitations, and changes. That makes support more concrete and reduces confusion when a buyer returns months later with a different setup.
Questions, answered.
Does buying an asset mean I can resell it?
Not necessarily. Check the actual license, the platform rules, and the scope of the proposed distribution.
Does this checklist provide legal approval for a marketplace?
No. It is a preparation checklist. A specific commercial structure requires review of the current terms and applicable requirements.
