Faith used this for the voice acting, but I'm not sure if it was using the actual synthesis code or WAV files. The game has been sold for a long time though and there's been no legal trouble so far. It's also not legally good to make money off commercial software you didn't purchase, so the copyright holder either doesn't care or somehow still doesn't know.
The usage of the TTS, may or may not break copyright, however SAM is considered Abandonware, since any attempt of contacting the current copyright holder has been unsuccessful

Yes, as mentioned, this is Abandonware.
Yeah I'm just lending credence to that with more details.
as an avid Construct 3 user, and also a huge fan of the C64 (i still own several), this is really amazing for me! thank you!
You’re welcome 😄
Awesome ! Heard SAM for the first time (and the last ?) on Amiga "This is Amiga speaking" and probably inside a demo ! (can't remember the name).
And now you can hear SAM in every game you make if you choose to include it 😏
Hehe. It would give the main artistic direction ^^
Very cool, thanks for making this and sharing it! As someone who grew up with a Commodore 64 and ended up as a Construct hobby dev, I love this.
That said, I’d like to remind everyone that the underlying TTS synth is not open source. More info: https://github.com/discordier/sam?tab=readme-ov-file#license
Yes, I’ll add a notice. The plugin is open-source, the underlying TTS is reverse engineering of abandonware
Whoa, that’s amazing! Now even more people can enjoy this cool TTS!
Thanks, and indeed it is! I was inspired by your plugin. Keep the good work with C2!
