Conversation with MajorMinor developer over Steam

WilliamImm Jan 30th, 2016 113 Never
  1. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: For a while, I wouldn't have expected to approach you directly. I can't say I was expecting to do this until your announcement not too long ago.
  2. Klace: Hey
  3. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: It might have taken some time, but you have admitted your own faults shown a willingness to change for the better. Unlike Digital Homicide or Kobra Studios, your efforts have grown to be honest in nature, and have grown to just making good products and letting the cash flow in naturally.
  4. Klace: I was told to add you by someone on Twitter
  5. Klace: Their English didn't seem to be the best but they said something about talking about drama
  6. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Yes, that would be one of my own friends. I wanted to reach out to you directly because of your annoucement and apology.
  7. Klace: Alright
  8. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: I can't say I really wanted to be in such a central role in regards to the controversy surrounding the game, but I could say it has helped in many ways. And it took its toll on me in many ways too.
  9. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: I hope you live up to your apology. You've grown a thicker skin for yourself and your creations. Your writing has also improved, I actually chuckled at the revised sample you presented, the mental image it provided was just absurd enough to be funny for me.
  10. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: And, well, getting a visual novel game working in RPG Maker MV is a feat in and of itself.
  11. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Captalize on that engine and include more RPG into your game.
  12. Klace: I'm not currently open to changing my vision.
  13. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Mmm? You've got a long way to go before November of this year. I would have a lot of interest in this game if it stretched outside the visual novel comfort zone and used more of the engine.
  14. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Besides. RPGs are my specaltity and favored genre.
  15. Klace: It's a visual novel project.
  16. Klace: That's something I'm making final.
  17. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Alright. I could offer game development help and maybe roll in more RPG elements, but I guess it is what it is.
  18. Klace: Indeed
  19. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: I have other projects to work on myself. I'm genuinely willing to be an outside eye on this project. Sometimes, the harshest critic makes the best advisor.
  20. Klace: I'll have to pass
  21. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: That's fine.
  22. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: I do have two requests of you.
  23. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: THe first is to lock the "So, about the people who hate this game" thread by Hassat Hunter. The thread is really more of an harassment against myself, since it is of a Steam conversation that isn't really that related to the game and more about trying to contact someone through one of his friends.
  24. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: The second is that in this Facebook image (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10208277088023288&set=a.2729676399537.149494.1186043602&type=3&theater) - remove the quote where I am mentioned by name.
  25. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Specifically, the one that begins with "My negative view was solely on the thought of what Curus Keel posted".
  26. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: While that isn't really harassment, it is mentioning me by name in a very negative light. I would avoid doing so, as like the previous one, that would be a gateway for misguided harrassment.
  27. Klace: I am very familiar with my name being used in a negative light which leads to misguided harassment.
  28. Klace: You yourself were actively doing this to me.
  29. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: I will not anymore, unless you chose to provoke me on this. You have shown the willingness to change, and I am myself willing to change and avoid hounding you in regards to the game.
  30. Klace: I am not the only one that you wronged. You had popped into almost every single positive review and made people who liked my game feel like their opinion wasn't welcome.
  31. Klace: However;
  32. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Then I am not going to do so anymore.
  33. Klace: I will comply with your requests if you remove your latest journal on FurAffinity and replace it with a public apology that contains much of the same information you opened this conversation with. Not only an apology to me, but an apology to the community around this game -- that was given unneeded drama simply because they enjoyed my title. As well as for going around these people and trying to contact their close ones regarding the situation.
  34. Klace: If you recognize the impact of an apology, and its vailidity especially after reading mine -- you too should be capable of honing up to your actions in a public spotlight and vowing to correct them. Not to me, but to everyone involved.
  35. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Alright. I am writing the journal up right now.
  36. Klace: Your actions will be removed on Facebook and on Steam, but it does not in any way mean they didn't happen.
  37. Klace: Furthermore, I know that archives exist of these posts either way. I was not the only one under a spotlight in this situation.
  38. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Just as much as I can say for you.
  39. Klace: So if anybody comes to you in the future about this I would direct them to your well-worded apology.
  40. Klace: I know you were actively spreading around the document from TrueChaos as well. They have publicly stated that the information in that article is out of date, and they are actually unable to confirm that all of it is true.
  41. Klace: An apology to me would be an apology for spreading misinformation, and clarifying that with my continued efforts to better my project. An apology to the community would be an apology for making them feel attacked simply for enjoying my game.
  42. Klace: It led to lots of misguided harassment. The exact same thing I will do my best to prevent from happening to you be removing the media you indicated in return.
  43. Klace: by removing*
  44. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7337078/
  45. Klace: One moment
  46. Klace: "cultivating a false impression of the game (and the developer). Because after all, people really do change."
  47. Klace: That's my only suggested edit.
  48. Klace: I will take down that stuff you wanted now.
  49. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Alright.
  50. Klace: Alright its taken down
  51. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Thanks.
  52. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Unless you need me for anything else or have anything to ask of me, you can feel free to remove me from your friends list. Have a nice day.
  53. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: I have kept records of this conversation, but only for the purpourses of keeping it on record. I do not plan to share the transcript publicly.
  54. Klace: Alright
  55. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Please be careful, and please live up to your own promises. And do not be afraid to ask for help when you need it. If you haven't found one already, finding a freelance editor would let you test your writing before you release.
  56. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: Who knows, you may even find one in the furry community.
  57. [NF & STEP] Curus Keel: I shouldn't pry, but at least I can give you my advice.
