Public Release: 2 Years of Narrative Work for "Killing Eternity" (Scripts & Lore)
Hi everyone. I am the former Lead Writer and Narrative Designer for the visual novel project "Killing Eternity: A Hypocritical Spiral".
I am writing this to set the record straight: I did not leave this project voluntarily. After 2 years of dedicated work, I was abruptly removed and blocked by the Lead Developer simply because I requested a legal contract to secure my rights.
Despite kicking me out, the project continues to build upon my scripts, character arcs, and world-building without my consent or any compensation. The Lead Dev now claims my 2 years of contribution were "insignificant" to justify using my work for free.
Since my work is allegedly "insignificant," I am officially releasing it to the Public Domain today.
I am doing this to:
- Protect the community: Warning fellow freelancers about a developer who removes contributors the moment they ask for legal documentation.
- Open source my work: Since the Lead Dev considers my writing a "trifle," I am gifting it to the public for non-commercial use, study, or inspiration.
- Stop the exploitation: I will not allow my labor to serve as a stolen foundation for a project that silences its authors.
Current Situation:
- I was removed and silenced immediately after asking for a contract.
- The developer is now attempting to "rewrite" the work, but still uses my core world-building and character identities as a base.
- I am being censored on social media for trying to protect my intellectual property.
The Full Script Archive (49k+ characters, world-building, and triggers) can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1c7qjDSG03rEhYbcnViPdmU3ssplziZAJ?usp=drive_link
Note: All visual assets created by artists have been obscured. I respect fellow creators and only claim my own written labor.
TL;DR: I was kicked out of the project for asking for a contract. The dev claims my 2 years of work are worthless while still using them, so I’m giving everything to the community for free to kill any claim of exclusivity.
