Disclaimer and Credits
Hello! This is Junes, your headwiz, with a personal statement as to what we aren't but also who I'd like to thank.
First: We neither own Persona as a property nor intend to make any money from this game. The Persona series' copyrights belong to ATLUS and we have no intention of challenging those; this is purely a fan work.
As to Japan and Japanese culture: none of us on staff are Japanese. We have done our best to do accurate research based on the games and more to construct a verisimilitudinous setting, but we cannot guarantee and do not aspire to total accuracy. It is our goal to treat our setting with respect.
From 2009 to approximately 2014, there was another Persona-themed game called Persona MUSH. While Velvet Room MUSH shares some staff in common with that game, it does not share continuity. This is a new game and a new start.
There are many people I could credit for the long-term results of this project. The first among them are my staffers and dev workers, without whom we could not have finished and gotten ready for the release of this project!
But also... The lessons I've learned on Persona MUSH, Battle Fantasia MUSH, Dream Chasers MUSH, Super Robot Taisen MOO and more all go into the decisions and choices I've made with my staff here on Velvet Room MUSH. Those are just the most recent; any game we play at, we'll carry pieces of it with us, and I hope that's true eventually for people on VRM too.
Some specific people to call out for me, though:
- Penguin Sniper of our staff, who did a titanic amount of work to get us ready for an early open
- Parabellum of our staff, for keeping the flame alive for over a decade, while I got ready to open a game for this theme
- Pachinko Silver of our staff, for tireless dev work
- Naganaki Shrine of our staff, for keeping me hype and doing a bunch of work even before joining up
- Iwatodai Station of our staff, for solid support and basically outlining the plot
- Crossroads Bar of our staff, for inspiration and solid plot work
- Talnora for code/sheet consultation and testing
- Stormreign for consultation and testing
- Ru for consultation and testing
- Merilan for consultation, testing, and hype
- caitsith4 for code consultation and testing
- Dream Chasers MUSH staff and especially Sheriff Star, for giving me a chance to run wild with code and really step up my game
- Battle Fantasia MUSH staff, for their support over the years
- Everyone else who listened to me talk, gave me hype, and helped me out
