itch.io

It’s a free-and-open-source license that (in simple words) allows to do “anything” with the game (even commercial use), as long as the changes to the code are published in open under the same license.

Assets for the game (pictures, music, sounds, etc.) are also free (and open source if possible), but as many of those came from different sources, they have different license - license.txt in every folder tells about the authors and license that applies to the appropriate assets.

So, technically this allows anyone to change/modify the game as much as one wants, as long as the terms of GPLv3 or any appropriate license for the assets are followed.

The most convenient way to is to “fork” https://gitlab.com/EugeneLoza/vinculike - and modify the code (Pascal is a verbose language, relatively easy to learn, especially if a person already knows how to program; many learned it at school or at university). On Desktop some changes can be made even without the necessity to do any coding or making a build - just tinker with contents in “data” folder as much as one likes. E.g. this file contains information on all items in the game: https://gitlab.com/EugeneLoza/vinculike/-/blob/grandmaster/data/character/itemdata.xml More complex manipulations (or changing something in Android build) will require “Rebuilding” the game - it’s relatively easy on Desktop, more complicated for Android. I have on my to-do list to add proper instructions how to, but if anyone wants those faster, ping me and I’ll prioritize this :)
