The Grant Gate
A grant is the key.
The license begins when the creator hands over a defined power: to publish, port, stream, localize, or distribute. The gate only opens for permissions written into the charter.

The charter beneath the arcade cabinet, where a game license becomes the artifact that lets a world travel.
Interpret the living border between playful worlds and formal permission—where IP rights glow as collectible seals.

The Rights Vault
Orbit the rights tokens around the cartridge lock. Each token names a power, and every power needs a wall.
The Territory Map
Regions are not geography alone; they are stores, platforms, languages, and marketplaces. A magic compass paints the legal border before the game crosses it.
The Modder’s Annex
Fan tools, patches, user maps, and community servers need rules that feel playable: what may be shared, monetized, forked, credited, or revoked.
The Expiration Clock
A license is a moon phase, a renewal gear, a calendar leaf. When the term changes, keys may brighten, dim, or return to the vault.
The Signature Portal
The final seal binds grant, scope, territory, term, mod rules, credits, and revocation into a playable permission circle.
