Weird and Unfortunate Things are Happening
That's very good to hear! That really makes me feel better! Thank you, Housekeeping! And Cash and Merlandese too, I've been on the fence about this and you all lit a fire under me :DDD
Okay! I've decided, I'll put it on Steam! :DDD I'll go ahead and keep it free, otherwise there's too much to replace. I'll look into getting help with setting up the game for Steam and getting achievements put in. This is exciting! :DDDD
It'd unfortunately be a lot, like even if I reused tracks it'd have to be at least like twenty. And there's a lot of creative commons sound effects too >.<;; I just never dreamed I'd sell this game back when I was making it!
Yeah, I dunno why I thought otherwise XD
Sorry, I missed your post as it came while I was tying mine, but this is a great point! :DDD I think I've been overworrying about stuff, as usual for me XD;;;

How many music tracks would you need to replace?
It'd unfortunately be a lot, like even if I reused tracks it'd have to be at least like twenty. And there's a lot of creative commons sound effects too >.<;; I just never dreamed I'd sell this game back when I was making it!
author=Malandyauthor=unityThey surely can!
Tho I dunno if free games can have achievements.
Yeah, I dunno why I thought otherwise XD

It can be easy to feel pressured to "go big" nowadays in the social media age, where a lot of people are focused on advancement, but I think it's still perfectly okay to make a thing for the sake of making a thing.
But I think the key thing about WAUTAH is that it's been very successful on its current platforms through word of mouth and serendipity. You haven't had to aggressively push the game on social media or artificially boost its popularity to get people to play it: it speaks volumes about the quality of a game when it can find its audience and spread itself passively like that. WAUTAH has already had a proven ability to manage itself and I think that would still hold true on other platforms, too.

All versions were free, right? If this were on Steam, I might just grab it for easier downloading?
But if you're not going for NG+ or anything, why would you download a second time? Support, of course, but still...
Yeah, there'd be no real reason to grab it again XD Unless I decided to go commercial and pay a lot to replace the music with commissioned songs, it'd be the exact same version, except maybe with achievements? Tho I dunno if free games can have achievements.

The question being, do you WANT it to blow up on Steam?
That's a good question. On one hand, I absolutely want more people to play it. I worked hard on the game for five years and I'm proud of what I and the rest of the team accomplished.
But I'm honestly a little scared, too. I've always been a very private person, so any game getting big enough where I'd have to constantly manage a community around it might end up draining. Also something really blowing up and getting big would mean things might change for me, and might change how I make games? I dunno, this probably all sounds pretty silly, but I do feel a little divided.
It's definitely something I want to think about, though. If the game could do well on Steam then I should probably take the chance at some point.

I've had some trouble finding a perfect answer for this so I'll just ask: The reason this gem isn't on Steam is because of the music?
Thanks very much! :DDD
Basically, the answer's "yes." I think I could technically put in on Steam if I charged nothing for it, as the music's all creative commons, aside from a few tracks I specifically commissioned, and one that was a very generous gift. Which, I guess that'd still probably get it more visibility and get more people playing? It's something I've considered.
Maki-mArt (Commission Thread)
I've worked with Maki on multiple occasions! She's very easy to get along with, very professional, and does lovely work in a very timely manner! :DDD She is highly recommended ^_^
There should be an easily found mod list
2021 Misaos - Thoughts, Ideas, Plans
author=LordBlueRougeauthor=MarrendThanks Marrend.❤
My memory is that kentona stepped down from admin duties because he wanted to? Perhaps that memory is faulty, but, it certainly wasn't from us asking that of him. Like, if he really wanted to continue, I think the community would have been behind him. Alas, he didn't.
*Edit: Er, this is kinda derailing the topic. Please direct suggestions on how the site should/could be run to the User Feedback section. Let this thread be suggestions for the Misaos!
Alright, I'll write my suggestions in the staff/user feedback. I'm just tired of one person managing the site all the time.
It really doesn't have to be this way. We really should be delegating duties and sharing responsibilities here. I'd really like to take on more duties if that's what this mean. But I'll write about it in the staff forums.
You're timing on this is pretty suspect, given the circumstances. Earlier, people had questions about one of your ideas, and your response was "just trust me, just give me this, I will handle it, you will see" and you kept repeating that until we relented.
Now, when the admin puts her foot down and says "no" to something you want, you're suddenly minimizing her role and wanting her duties to be divvied up. Here's the thing: That could even be a good idea, and I'm all for Liberty being able to worry about less and delegate more if she's comfortable with that.
But someone will always need to be in charge, and that someone should always be able to put their foot down and say no to you. And suggesting staff restructuring right after you don't get something you want doesn't exactly say "trustworthy person who deserves more authority" to me.

author=iddalaiauthor=LibertyDo whatever you want.
I'm putting my foot down on this. When I'm no longer here, feel free to change it up, but no on this.
I understand why you want to keep the Misao dates, but I don't like your attitude here, pulling the admin card.
Doesn't seem like a good way to foster a healthy community.
Why ask people what they think in the first place, if you're not gonna take into account what they have to say?
This is nonsense. Someone can ask for suggestions and still put their foot down on stuff that's too much to handle. It's normal, good and healthy to lay down boundaries like this, especially considering this is all volunteer work that she has to shoulder.
"Doesn't seem like a good way to foster a healthy community" is a crappy thing to say to someone who's been busting their butt for years keeping this site going and has done a darn good job keeping things fair and fun around here. She gets a ton of crap and never enough thanks for all she has to do here, on discord, and behind the scenes.

But it's not your site Liberty, it's everyone's. You came in charge because the community wanted Kentona step down. You were the one with the highest marker score so Kentona asked you to help out with admistrative roles - Maybe it's time we have another administrator on board to help out.
Wow, you're being awfully pushy. I know you're passionate about this site and the Misaos, but last I checked you had already gotten a bunch of the stuff you wanted for the future of the Misaos approved, and now you're still asking for more and getting awfully huffy when refused.
Again, super rude to Liberty. Again, she's been busting her butt for years and doesn't deserve you minimizing her efforts.
Heartbreak + Setbacks
Yeah, while it's a bummer that this happened, this update is a testament to the sort of awesome people who are working on the game and your own dedication to keep enduring despite these losses! :D
Dev Log #11: Chapter 3 completed! The final stretch approaches!
Congrats! :DDDD I'm extremely excited to see this game finished, and I love all these little touches you're adding!
I also love how the progress chart now looks like my middle school notebook. Or any notebook I have really. I still doodle in them XDXD
