Click for the next slide! Found her apology and wanted to share it with scratch, as well as my opinions on the situation, which I wrote below. For almost two months, I was TERRIFIED that Dandy’s World was going to die and be forgotten and hated. This game has genuinely changed my life, and has connected me to so many great people- not only on scratch, but on other platforms, and in real life too. It’s not just a game full of cute characters and fun mechanics, it’s a community full of creative, funny, and amazing people. I couldn’t bear to see that come to an end. Since about a week ago, I had completely given up hope. I had seen the fandom weaken, the game’s active player count fall to an all time low, and about everyone online hating the people who couldn’t let go of it. I was hesitant to even keep making content myself, for a fear of hate and unnecessary lashback. Then, I saw a post about the apology and stepping back statement that Qwel had made. I thought it was the old, terrible one from June, but this was different. It had a genuine apology in it. I began to realize what this meant. I could actually play my favorite game again, buy merch from the official store again, and continue to post content. And, I could do that without supporting an awful person… well, now that I think about it, not as awful anymore. I’m so so glad she’s taking accountability and clearing some stuff up! I’m also glad she’s stepping away for a bit to learn and become a better person. I still don’t support Qwel, though. However, I do want the best for her, and I believe with enough time and effort, she can genuinely be the game developer that we all thought she was before. And with that, the Dandy’s World drama has come to a close. Anyways, I’m off to play the amazing game I haven’t played in nearly a month. The next event is right around the corner! Maybe I’ll try to distract now, who knows? Minka signing out, have a wonderful day!
