Hello Omoi, this is is BluRed, the creator of Aon, UmAon, and the VT+ content you merged and included in this modpack. The work you did for the map tool is certainly impressive, but I am not comfortable with you including the work I made myself as part of your modpack. I would have liked for you to at least have tried to reach out to me, all of my download links for VT+ are hosted in discussion boards so you could have at least asked there. Especially given the fact that this is the first content you have posted anywhere, I would have liked to get a sense for who you are before you merged my work into your project.
I really don't want there to be two versions of Aon/UmAon out there, as I often update her speech and sometimes tweak her art. I don't want there to be a less complete version people think is the official version, that they just default to because that version is included in your modpack. Finally, since you choose to solicit donations, which is totally fine when it comes to your own work, I am not willing to have you use my work as part of your advertisement for said donations. Like the thousands of hours of work it took to make your content, it took many days worth of work for me to make Aon, especially given that I had no art experience prior, and it took just as many hours to code the content for VT+ and maintain/port the code to new versions of the game over the years. I don't think it is fair for you to use said work for your own financial gain, even in a donation model.
So for now I request that you remove Aon, UmAon, and the VT+ code that you added to the modpack. In the future I might be fine with you adding that content back in, but for now I'd like to see how your work stands on it own and also see who you are as a creator. I do look forward to seeing how your modpack expands and hope we can work together later.
Hi BluRed. Thank you for writing directly and for making your position clear.
I understood your message perfectly. In the next update I will remove both versions of Aon from the ModPack, and I will also remove VT+ from my project.
In order not to depend on the work of others in the future, I will develop my own system for v0.12a.1. This way VT Omoi will stand solely on my own work.
I appreciate the hours you dedicated to your characters and to maintaining your code over the years. You are, without a doubt, one of the most important creators in this community. Thank you for your attention.
