Alright, all the stuff has now been submitted for review and I wait for it to be approved.

Meanwhile, as suggested newt, I've released the free Starter Pack at opengameart.org:

EDIT: Apparently I'm not allowed to post URLs. Yay.

Its on opengameart. Search it there. I guess.

Enjoy!

I'll post in this thread again once I get through the submission review to add the links here.

EDIT2: Oh wait. I can't do that either.

I guess I'll just say it went through and you can try to find it on the store in the graphics section then.

I think I've figured it out. After reading through the opengameart.org's FAQ, I'm going to release a free version over there too. Meanwhile, to avoid submissions process complication, I will release the Starter Pack for 20£ here as well and not include any links to opengameart.org, so customers don't stray away from the Scirra Store and keep the Scirra mods happy.

Since one of my goals is to make a living off selling sprites, the Scirra store should be able to provide a monetary side that will directly contribute my ability to keep working on this project full time, so buying the starter pack here would work as a way to directly support my effort, meanwhile there is a free option for those who really want it for free.

All expansion packs will remain paid however, so those will not be uploaded to opengameart.org.

Just release free stuff on opengameart.org

Any expansions done in the store here automatically get posted to the forum.

That... sounds like a good idea. Didn't think of that.

There is one caveat that comes to mind though.

Can I place a link on the description texts of the paid expansion packs on the store that points towards the free starter pack? I know that the formatting options limit linking only to other products on the scirra store, so I'm not sure if linking to opengameart.org might be ok with Scirra.
