Interesting experience. We started a wiki for our open source project, the community hit the ground running with it. I couldn’t have built a better wiki myself. Players love contributing to the wiki every game update. It’s bizarre how polar opposite our experiences are.
It’s not that bizarre - a community that’s coalescing around an open source project is sure to be a lot more inclined toward technical hobbies than the one that gathers around an otome game. I knew that from the start… but still, I was hoping for more like-minded fans than none.
Back when I started editing on an MMORPG wiki, people were a lot more willing to pitch in, even if they weren’t that confident. Now… I’ve asked for help enough times in the past and just got “looks too hard” and other blank stares in response, with a tacked on “thanks for all your work” to maintain the status quo.
Glad to hear your project is going well, at least.
Ouch. I do agree being an open source project would attract more interest in contributing. Maybe you need to get the message out to more people, there must be at least one other person in the community willing to assist?
