Twin Kingdom Valley
Great to see some insight into the game from its developer - I was a big fan of the game back in the day, and it inspired me to get into programming myself - but if this is all coming direct from the horse's mouth, then I'm afraid that that isn't really what Wikipedia is for. One of the big policies here is that Wikipedia doesn't include any original research, and that everything can be attributed to a pre-existing reliably published source, which is generally used as a yardstick for which bits of a subject to write about. That policy explicitly discourages "unsourced material from your personal experience".

These are all good, valuable details about Twin Kingdom Valley's development, but if this is the first time that this information has been published, it falls foul of the original research policy and will (eventually) be trimmed away by passing editors for being unsourced, the same way it would for any personal anecdotes added by an article's subject. It's an interesting read, but the Wikipedia line in the sand is not "is this interesting?" (which would be impossible to enforce objectively) but "has this already been published somewhere else?" (which isn't ideal, but at least makes it possible to draw a line).

For this information to live on, it really needs to be posted somewhere else - if you don't have a personal website, I'm sure there are gaming sites out there which would be more than happy to host a detailed interview or retrospective from Twin Kingdom Valley's developer. --McGeddon (talk) 16:54, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Feedback
I just found this page and the comments on it. Not sure what to say. If wikipedia exits simply to reference other web sites and cannot have any original content, then there is no point continuing with this article. I have many magazine interviews, which are no more reliable than the information which was entered here. They are (unverifiable) repeats of my comments anyway. I don't have time to make websites to enter all of these notes, so regrettably I will abandon this article, and let it get deleted. Goodbye.
