So hey, uh, AnimeTwineowa fake anime contributors, I have a request to make. AnimeIowa, the convention I help staff, is in serious financial trouble. In order to contribute somewhat, I was thinking of putting the finished, full AnimeTwineowa game up for sale on Itch.io or wherever, for pay-what-you-want, no minimum price, suggested price of $5. I will only do this if I get permission from everyone who contributed a fake anime or manga idea that's used in the game, and the demo will always remain freely available to play, no hoops to jump through. And even then, if the in-person aspects of the convention end up canceled again this year, I'll be dropping any semblance of paying for the game. I may still upload it to Itch.io, but there won't be any sort of suggested donation (or, if there is, it'll be towards AI's charity of the year).

Everyone will still be credited for their ideas under the name of their choice, and will retain the rights to their ideas (though how I'd need to get that in legalese, I have no idea). I don't have any convention budget for this project (see: serious financial trouble), but I can scrape up a bit to pay out of my own pocket and/or send a cute crocheted critter or two in exchange.

All thoughts are welcome, and that definitely includes all forms of, "I don't think I would be comfortable with that."

Edit: I'm screening comments on this post for hopefully greater comfort, but you can also send me a private message here on Dreamwidth or on Discord.

Edit 2: Did not end up going ahead with this, just wanted to add a note to that effect.
