The writing is in the same boat as the art. After the Fall started off as a community version of Love in the Woods. It was created specifically because Love in the Woods would not share assets with the community. According to the original creator of AtF, anybody should be allowed to use and modify the contents of After the Fall and create their own versions, which is what I did. I wasn't satisfied with the direction and progress of After the Fall, so I made what I consider an improved version of it. "It's not a good look" is a meaningless derogative that people use when they just want to pick a side based on their feelings without considering facts. I use AtF content in accordance with their licensing terms, plain and simple. Anybody can see for themselves that AtF is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Sharealike 3.0, listed in the credits of the game they've been distributing for years, but the current devs are claiming ignorance and lying to people to protect their own interests. If the current AtF developers wanted to keep their project closed off, they should have made their own version from the ground up instead of taking a free and open source game. The fact that they took control of a project and failed to understand how the licensing on it works is frankly embarrassing, indefensible, and on some level illegal. Both the main artist and main writer, who no longer work on the projects but were instrumental in getting them off the ground, have called out AtF and LITW on their bullshit and given me their blessing to continue this project.
