Using parts of Monika After Story in your own project

NOTE: the latest version of this will always be in LICENSE.MD

In general, we are very open to assets and code from Monika After Story being used in other projects. However, there are some restrictions.

All assets and code from Monika After Story cannot be used to make a mod or fork intended as a replacement for Monika After Story. If you would like to add new features or content to the game, please make those contributions to the original project. We are very open to suggestions and contributions, and odds are that anything added would be welcomed. If, for some reason, your new features conflict with the direction for Monika After Story consider developing your changes in the form of a "submod" which can be added to Monika After Story.

Please follow Team Salvato's IP Guidelines for any project which includes our work.
