Note
The game is not all about cake. But it is a pretty significant portion of the game.
Why Open Source?
Because games are better when you know what's put into them. It's like knowing all of the ingredients that went into a cake, which can help you infer how good it'll taste.
Other FAQs
Can I use Sheowder characters in my derivative works?
Yes, as long as your use does not detrimentally harm the project or is illegal in your jurisdiction.
Can I sell the game?
Yes, royalty free. Just remember to attribute Sheowder Group under CC BY 4.0 if you keep the original assets.
What are the minimum specs?
Please see the downloads page for more information.
Will there be updates to the game?
Yes, regularly. See below for more information on how to be notified of updates.
What happened to all of the Git history before the first public build?
It's safe and sound, but not available to the public. There were some ideas implemented into the game that were later removed but were recorded in the history. These ideas no longer represent the project, and we'd like to prevent any confusion about that. The history may become available at a later date.
