Hey Nova,

thank you so much for playing Eden Drive. It truly is a gift to see people playing and enjoying something you made, so again thank you for giving it a go and showcasing it.

So, I noticed one thing by the end of the Eden Drive stream that I'd like to clarify: you can find all the proper credits in the "Credits" folder - not in the credits.html file (which is generated by rpgmaker after deployment).

I've checked everything multiple times and I'm confident everything has been credited properly.

However, I've had things stolen from me in the past, and this affected me greatly, that's why I add that specific sentence at the end of the game. It seems that this time it backfired, as it created the opposite reaction that what was intended, which was a way to show how respectful I want to be for other people's work, and I've learned my lesson :)

Once again, thank you and keep up the great work, I'll be watching the VODs.

Thanks for the reply and clarification! Yeah, I saw the credits folder, but with an ending message like that, it was hard for me to put faith that the credits shown in the given file was extensive in the moment.

I'm sure you meant well, and I understand how frustrating it can be to have your stuff stolen. However, the practice of asking resource owners to keep a constant vigil over the internet in case someone happens to use their assets comes across as lazy at best, insidious at worst. I'm not accusing you of being either one, obviously, but there has already been an incident where another dev did something similar and it turned out there was a copyrighted resource in that game, so you can understand my initial reaction when I saw that message.

Good luck with Eden Drive! I hope more people take the time to play it.
