Credits and licences

The game itself — its design, code, art, audio and text — is original and wholly owned by Played Right Games, a trading name of Cosmic Canopy LLC. Every visual is drawn from shapes rather than from an asset pack, and the music and sound effects are synthesised as you play rather than sampled from recordings. Nothing in it obliges anyone to publish source.

It does stand on other people's work, and this is that list.

Which of these you actually received depends on which build you are running: the desktop game contains all of them, and the browser version contains the ones marked for it.

Typefaces#

The three typefaces are used in the game and served on this website, both of which count as distributing them, so both carry their notices. All three are under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and none of them carries a Reserved Font Name — checked in the licence files themselves rather than assumed.

The full licence texts#

Every licence above asks for its text to travel with the software, so all of them ship beside the game in a file called CREDITS — 3484 lines of it. A notice naming a licence is not the licence.

That file is generated from the same table this page is, so the two cannot disagree with each other, and neither can disagree with the credits screen inside the game.

Speech recognition#

The desktop game transcribes speech on your own machine using whisper.cpp and a small model file that ships with it. Both are listed above. What that means for you is on the privacy page.
