Dispelling myths about my Willow game
Questies around the world,
I want to talk about my Willow game for a while. Namely, I want to clarify a few myths and misconceptions regarding it. And if someone could post this to /r/willow on Reddit for me, please do. Due to my VPNs I am unable to get an account that actually works.
So basically I'm seeing some chatter that the game isn't real and is just me attempting to upload malware to your systems. Why do people think this? Because of how hush-hush I've been about the game up until a few weeks ago, how for a while it was only uploaded to shady download sites like LimeWire, how it goes by a fake name on itch.io and needs a password, the list goes on.
So first off, please know this – I DO NOT WANT TO GET SUED!! Can you imagine what a field day that one Mouse company would have if they found out who I was?? The script of this game is nearly word-for-word the script of the film and the show! To top it all off I'm also using material from a fanfic that I didn't write!! And I'm using unlicensed music! So of course I'm gonna surround myself with multiple layers of VPN as well as the TOR network. That makes it VERY hard to register for accounts with reputable sites, so yes, for a while I did host it on shady sites. They were the only ones that would let me operate. It was by some miracle that I got a working email address as well as tumblr, itch.io, and Xitter accounts. Reddit still won't work, and good luck with Facebook.
As for why I call it Trapper Keeper on itch.io and require a password? Once again, not trying to get sued. Itch frowns upon fan games so calling it Willow would paint a big target on me, plus adding a password prevents random passersby from just downloading it to see what it is. True Questies who follow my page see the password and they can access it, even if it is a simple one. Also, Trapper Keeper was the code name for the Willow TV series when it was in production (the more you know!!).
As for why it just sprang up randomly one day instead of me releasing updates as I made it – you need to shut up when making a game like this so you don't get slapped with a C&D. That's it. That's the only reason. Also there are screenshots so if you still think it's not real, please visit my tumblr page, https://www.tumblr.com/tanthrevenge
As for why posts have been popping up in the subreddit and then deleted within days or even hours, I can only speculate because I don't have reddit, but probably because that's where the accusations of malware are coming from and the users that have posted there probably fear for their accounts when faced with those accusations.
So yes, this game is 100% real, please download it, and please play it. Once again, the download link is https://tanthamorerevenge.itch.io/trapper-keeper-2 and the password is 123.
