Game Licence

1. What this licence is

This licence is an agreement between you and Marble Works ("we"), who make Tropalm. It covers the Tropalm game software and its demo: the program, and the art, models, sounds, music and text that come with it, including the instructions and tool descriptions the game gives its companions (together, "the game"). You can reach us at support@tropalm.com. Please write in Japanese or English.

When you get the game, you get a licence to use it, not the game itself. The game stays ours, or its other makers' where section 4 says so.

2. What you may do

You may install the game and play it on computers you use, as the store you got it from allows.

You may record, stream and share videos, streams and screenshots of the game, including ones you earn money from. We set no conditions on this. It is a lasting permission, not an exception we will take back lightly.

Some companion voices are made with VOICEVOX, and each of its characters asks that a video using their voice names them, as the game shows in Settings > Credits and in People on the pause menu. That is the voice's own condition, not ours (section 4).

3. What you must not do

Unless section 2 or section 4 allows it, you must not:

• copy the game or any part of it, or share, sell or rent it, except the copies the store you got it from makes when it installs or updates the game;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the game, or take it apart in any other way to read its code;
• take code, art, models, sounds, music or text out of the game, or the instructions and tool descriptions it gives its companions, to use them in another game, program or product, or to give them to someone, or to an AI, to make one.

This licence is about the game's own files. It does not claim the game's ideas, rules or genre: making a different game that plays in a similar way does not break it.

4. What the law and other licences allow

Nothing in this licence takes away what the law where you live lets you do whatever a licence says, for example studying how the game works so that another program can work with it, or keeping a backup copy for yourself.

Parts of the game are other makers' work under their own licences, which are listed in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt beside the game. A program, model or voice the game downloads names its own licence. Those parts follow their licences, not this one.

Tropalm has no mod policy yet. If we publish one, what it allows is allowed under this licence too.

5. If you break this licence

If you break section 3, this licence ends, and you must stop using and delete whatever you copied or took out of the game. We may ask a store or a host to take down what was copied, and take the other steps the law gives us.

6. The services and other terms

Your Tropalm account, Tropalm Cloud AI, the hosted voice and co-op invites come under the terms of service and the privacy policy, not this licence. Ending this licence does not by itself stop your account, and stopping your account does not end this licence.

The terms of the store you got the game from, such as Steam's subscriber agreement or itch.io's terms, also apply. Where they say more about what the store does, they hold.

7. Law and disputes

This licence is governed by the laws of Japan, and a dispute about it is to be heard in the courts of Japan. This does not take away any right that the law where you live gives you whatever this licence says.
