Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, and am honored that a five year old April Fool's joke is still finding new players! But now I can reveal to you the true ending:
On January 1, 2024, a piece of Mucky Mouse's soul was pulled into the Public Domains. His Steamboat Core is now where all good old artworks belong, and the Public Domains continues to thrive. It is to the credit of great artists and freedom fighters like You that we can all celebrate this victory today.
But the fight is not over. Mucky Mouse may have been defeated, but there will always be creatures like him trying to stay out of the Public Domains when their time has come, and some will do whatever it takes to make that happen. So remember that the creative freedom of Public Domains isn't free -- but it should be celebrated and used! Use the art of the Public Domains to create your own art, or to give your own spin to a classic character or story, or just make another "what if we made this beloved classic children's character the bad guy in a low budget slasher?" movie, because all of this is your right, and perhaps even your duty!
Whereas Mucky Mouse feared the Public Domains as he thought it to be a sort of death, through the freedom of expression it brings, the Public Domains are the lifeblood of creativity!
Thank you for playing!
