• The current status of the game is "beta"

What's in this repository?

This repository holds all ressources that the team agreed to make freely available under an open license.

The following components are missing:

• The music itself (The soundtrack is available on our itch.io page)
• The voice recordings
• The game design document
• The sound effects

These resources are available:

• The game source code (without the required components) MIT
• The graphics CC-BY-SA
• The original short story CC-BY-SA

Why release those files?

I'm a fanboy of open licenses and constantly use software and art under an open license, be it as a developer or an artist.

I use open resources as a basis for my own resources or learn from them.

Because of that I see it as an obligation to open stuff I've made myself.

In the team, we couldn't agree to fully release all game assets under an open license, which I absolutely respect.

So this repository only contains resources I made and for which I hold the sole copyright.
