>and due to some legal fuckery he thankfully HAS to allow the source code for the game to be released
Guess we'll be able to compile our own WANI soon, maybe?

Just because the engine is copylefted doesn't mean the game proper is.

That would be like arguing that Bethesda is obligated to release Classic Doom for free just because Id Tech 1-4 were released under GNU licenses.

And it's also akin to arguing that upcoming games like Selaco have to be released for free.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

to be honest, I'm more than happy with supporting shitposts like Wani. Katawa Shoujo was free, Snoot was free. Cavemanon can have my money, as long as they don't suddenly sperg about inclusivity and troons.

Cavemanon proves that you can be wholesome, inclusive, AND politically incorrect at the same time.

you already can. the game is made in ren'py and the .rpy files (source code files) are in the games files if you buy the game. its how the translators are able to mod in new languages.
i dont think wanis source code is out there for free because theyre trying to make money which seems to be fine with the gpl. if you buy the game you get the code and can then mod it without being sued

i think wani is under the gpl for its code since the license is in the game files.
also renpy is under a weird mix of lgpl and mit which means that cavemanon themsleves put the game under gpl and werent forced to by their engine choice so idk what anon was talking about

i think that the gpl would mean that the games built on it would need to be open source but i think for idtech they sold a less restricted license so people can make closed source games with it to certain studios.

I finally played GVH myself after meaning to since watching the Cavemanon stream of it and its worse than I remember, its still very mediocre overall but scattered throughout there are genuinely good parts that are great but they're surrounded by boring filler. Its very clearly stitched together and can feel almost incoherent at times with how it jumps from scene to scene, I don't want to be too generous but I think that those good parts were what was leftover from the narrative reboot and that original GVH script was probably a lot better. I enjoyed it more than I expected and that made remembering all it's issues so much worse.

Though I was impressed, Cavemanon made a Trish I hated and somehow KO_OP made one even worse. GVH Trish is insufferable.

Id Tech's license isn't that complex, it's just GPL 2.0 or later.
