Terms of Service

Last updated: June 18, 2026

These terms govern your use of allbyte.studio and The Chronicles of Nesis, operated by AllByte Studios, a solo independent game developer (“I,” “me,” or “AllByte”). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

The service

The site provides a browser-playable build of The Chronicles of Nesis, a development blog, artwork and music showcases, and membership features. I may add, change, or remove features at any time.

Accounts

Accounts and sign-in are handled through Patreon. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your Patreon credentials secure. You must provide accurate information and be old enough to use Patreon in your jurisdiction.

Memberships and payments

Membership tiers are offered and billed entirely through Patreon and are subject to Patreon's terms. Tiers unlock access to certain site and game content. You can change or cancel your membership at any time through Patreon; I do not process payments and cannot issue charges or refunds directly — billing matters are handled by Patreon.

Intellectual property

All artwork, music, fonts, characters, story, game content, and code on this site are created and owned by AllByte Studios (or used under license) and are protected by copyright. The art, music, and typography are entirely handcrafted. You may not copy, redistribute, extract, decompile, or repackage any of these assets, in whole or in part, without my written permission.

Game license

I grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to play The Chronicles of Nesis through this site for your own personal, non-commercial enjoyment. You may not host, mirror, resell, or commercially exploit the game or its assets.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Attempt to circumvent membership gates or access controls.
• Extract, scrape, or reverse-engineer game assets or source.
• Disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its backend.
• Use the site to break any applicable law or to infringe others' rights.

Disclaimer

The site and game are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. As a solo developer, I can't guarantee the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that saves will never be lost — though I do my best to keep everything working.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AllByte Studios will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or game.

Changes

I may update these terms as the site evolves. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which AllByte Studios operates, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
