Talk:Wanderstop

soundtrack tracklist section?

? Sastofficial (talk) 21:33, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm saving that for a forthcoming article called Music of Wanderstop, which is looking a whole lot more prospective now given that more sources specifically covering the music are coming out. BarntToust 13:04, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Also, the game director tweeted that a second album of Rosenfeldian music was going to be released very soon, and I have conformation from Rosenfeld's manager that they're doing a vinyl release of the music, which will have its own tracklist: there will be tracklists up the wazoo from here, there, and everywhere.

• The image has a valid fair use rational, so no problem with that.
• Could an image of someone who worked on the game, Davey Wreden be added in the background or development sections. History6042😊 (Contact me) 13:35, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

  Added Wreden and C418 images BarntToust 14:41, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

• No stability issues, you are pretty much the only contributor.
• Definitely broad enough.

I will check prose now.

• "tea shop with its owner Boro" -> "tea shop with its owner, Boro"
• "Burn out" should always be "burnout"
• "Planting seeds produce hybrids" -> "Planting seeds produces hybrids"
• "over if they wished." -> "over it if they wished."
• "video games whilst Rosenfeld" -> "video games while Rosenfeld"
• "music from C418's score featured" -> "music from C418's score was featured"
• "Wanderstop featured as part of the" -> "Wanderstop was featured as part of the"
• "though said it was aiming" -> "though he said it was aiming" History6042😊 (Contact me) 15:05, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Maybe the reception section could be trimmed it is very long. History6042😊 (Contact me) 17:21, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

I've cut back on some prose there; let me know if I ought to trim some more. BarntToust 17:34, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Good enough. History6042😊 (Contact me) 17:37, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Article seems to have no neutrality issues. History6042😊 (Contact me) 19:07, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

I will spotcheck sources 12, 39, and 66. History6042😊 (Contact me) 19:09, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

• ... that Wanderstop took so long to develop that "cozy game" became a swear word?

• Article is very impressive - passed GA yesterday so size/timing is no issue. Earwig shows up above 20% but basically all of it is either proper nouns or direct quotes so I'm not concerned about that. Sourcing looks solid as well and the hook fact is present in the article and cited. This is the 4th DYK nom by this user so no QPQ required. I will admit that it took me a couple of read-overs to understand what was meant by the hook (I presume it's "he spent so long working on a cozy game that the mere mention of the phrase 'cozy game' is irritating" or the like); perhaps amending slightly to give it a touch more context (either pointing out what the developer meant by this quote or pointing out that Wanderstop is a cozy game, or a combination of the two - could be beneficial. All in all this is really nice work and I'll be happy to pass with that minor concern addressed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:09, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Alt1:

• ... that cozy game Wanderstop took so long to develop, according to director Davey Wreden "cozy game" became a swear word?

• Source: The Verge

@User:PCN02WPS: Much of what Wanderstop director Davey Wreden has said in other interviews has impressed that cozy games have become a very saturated market in recent years, more so than when he began developing the game . Wreden's line in the The Verge article is rather ambiguous, but I felt that it had oomph to it, considering that the game took an extended development time. BarntToust 20:56, 22 April 2025 (UTC) Alternatively, here's something about women and jiu-jitsu if this one works best.

Alt2:

• ... that Wanderstop's story editor spoke with women practitioners of jiu-jitsu to inform the characterization of the player character?

• Source: NYT

• • approving ALT1 and ALT2, strong preference for ALT1. I'll let you work with the prep builders on wording if they have any issues. As far as I'm concerned this is good to go, very nice work. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:27, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
