ethos
- --→ passion first
- no corporate roadmap. no design-by-committee. a developer making the games they want to play.
- --→ open by default
- Court Wizard releases under GPL-3.0 with full source. future games will pick the license that fits each project. if any of this inspires one person to start creating, the work was worth it.
- --→ fantasy forever
- wizards. devastating spells. mythical creatures. ancient magic. and occasionally — when the mood strikes — sci-fi. fantasy is a wide door.
