10. Special Asset License Notice
Exception for Zoro Mega Sceptile Assets
The model, textures, and animations for Zoro Mega Sceptile (inspired by Sceptile from the Pokémon series) are not covered by the CC-Style License: BY-NC-NLB 1.0.
These specific assets are instead licensed under:
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)
You may:
-
Share — Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
-
Adapt — Remix, transform, and build upon the material
-
Use commercially
Under the following terms:
-
Attribution — You must give appropriate credit.

ShareAlike — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same CC BY-SA 4.0 license.
11. Currency and Key Systems – Explicit Prohibition
For the avoidance of doubt:
-
Virtual Currency: If any virtual currency, gem, coin, token, or similar medium can be purchased with real money, that currency may not be exchangeable for the Licensed Material — even if the currency also has other uses and even if a free gameplay path to the material exists.
-
Keys and Unlock Codes: No key, code, pass, or similar item that is sold for real money may unlock, reveal, grant, or accelerate access to the Licensed Material.
-
No “Optional Payment” Loophole: The existence of a free method to obtain the Licensed Material does NOT excuse any real-money transaction that also provides access. “Paid access” includes optional, expedited, or convenience-based payments.
-
Example of Violation: A game where the skin can be earned free after 100 hours, but also purchased instantly using “gems” that cost real money — violates this license.
-
Example of Compliance: A game where the skin can ONLY be earned through gameplay (no real-money purchase of any kind, including currency that buys the skin) — complies with this license.
