I appreciate the offer, but I'm not looking for contributions at the moment. Been a bit busy with art and work and not going insane during quarantine.
Edit: I realize you're talking to someone else (the email I got just said "there's a response", but in any case I ask you please do not just add to and repost my game (if that's what you were thinking).
I've recently mentioned some suggestions / thoughts when playing that game, btw: kind of getting inspired by it being textbased in storylines and also about the in-game paths.
I was thinking of maybe designing a whole different version (maybe just including flavours as comparison or stuff that would be similar / in common there), would it be okay possibly nicknaming a link to this game as inspiration?
If you'd decline it, I'd be okay and not referring to it, just thought asking and also browsed on your profile if sharing it as suggestion to a forum's post then the direct comments of this game.
In general sharing its link to your game would just affect the statistics where the player probably heard of your game, which file is still no repost in that case. Anyway it feels more safe to ask if its okay, I could also mention the planned game if it's published in case you'd be okay getting your "Weeb's Wonka Game" being a reference in that game's description on itch-page/theme or rather having to connection e.g. by being just nicknamed on your personal profile only?
Not sure if I understand what you mean by a whole different version. If you're making another one with similar content, even if it uses a lot of the same structure, I don't mind, but if it's just going to be an enhanced version with extra endings and more polish, I'm not sure if I'm okay with that at this point in time.
I mean more like the first info, while actually maybe "just" some facts sounding inspired e.g. choco, sweets, golden-tickets or single fragments. No characters, places, nicks ...while my games being also affecting by the player's selected paths and including a variety of options, it's coded with a different engine (html only), and it won't be planned with optional endings, etc. connected to your game.
I think it sounds cool asking first if games sound inspiring, for referring to those in a quite different game, just slightly in reference anyway and more based on the fact that I like your game's storylines (I guess, if I'd be on youtube or twitch, and being a lets-play user, I'd think of asking for sharing a video-version when playing your game), while in my case I'm more the coding-person so that's why I was thinking of just adding your game's link as e.g. "inspired by this game" or similar text. Just if you'd be okay and not sure when exactly there's a published version being released yet, so far I'm more into scripting the story and designing its chapters, features, etc.
