RE:EYYYY
Thanks! I hope you had a good Canada Day too! I actually thought of sending you a Canada Day message yesterday, but I wasn't at a computer. -- 17:34, July 2, 2016 (UTC)

RE:boiiiii
Haha you know it! And don't worry, I know you missed my sass while I was gone. School was ROUGH this year, so I didn't have any time to edit the wiki or even play any video games! *gasp*

But now I'm back in action as much as I can be around work, so expect to see more of the Emitewiki you know and love ;)  23:00, July 8, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Reconsidering the approach to published games
Based on what you said, yes, that part of Template:Games should be removed. It would be best to create a separate wiki for published games, since from what I've seen Nitrome's involvement with published games is not enough to warrant covering the games and their components on the wiki. I will elaborate more on this tomorrow. -- 03:31, September 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * Nitrome mentions here that "We do get involved with the games to some degree. Mainly to give advice on what we think will help the game perform but we also give suggestions [if] we have any." None of this sounds like very much involvement in the game. Helping the game "perform" comes across as adjusting/changing content (such as balancing enemies/hazards/prices/buyable objects) or suggesting non-game content that complements something else (like in a shooting game introducing some more unique weapons for the player if the current gun selection is populated by a lot of guns that are largely the same), changes which altogether don't seem very major. From Nitrome's comment, there is the possibility of their involvement in published games not being small, but it also seems that their general involvement in these game is not notable enough to justify covering the games on this wiki like regular games, even in a separate namespace.


 * In response to your third paragraph, Cowen isn't an official Nitrome employee and he was contacted by Eneminds to do music (source; section "Our story with Nitrome"). It also seems like Heinel didn't contribute much art to ReDungeon (see bullet point 2 below). Nitrome including published games in lists of games on their site makes sense since they would want people to know about them and likely because it is simple to do, and them being distributed under Nitrome's name is done because Nitrome is the publisher.


 * Even though many people may expect N.Wiki to have articles on published games, it doesn't make sense to do this if Nitrome has not had much involvement in them. However, we can help point people to the article on the published games wiki with a redirect that has a link to the article, or a link to Nitrome if the previous method is too jarring.


 * This is all the help Nitrome contributed to ReDungeon (only mentioning just in case it could be used in our discussion):


 * Changed main character to not look like Rust Bucket
 * Several changes, although from the context it doesn't sound like they were major
 * Heinel helped with some of the larger art, although it seems that he didn't contribute much since Nitrome mentions that Eneminds did most of the art
 * Balancing

 * I approved the poll because published games are still slightly related to Nitrome, just not enough to warrant a page. I'll comment on the other stuff in your message tomorrow and the forum posting. Thanks for being so patient, and sorry for taking a very long time to reply to both these subjects. -- 02:59, September 24, 2016 (UTC)


 * Sorry about the embarrassingly long wait. I'm still interested in replying to you and your forum topic, I just don't have that much time. I'll try to reply this week. -- 03:52, October 3, 2016 (UTC)
