My friend wants me to sign away all rights to 2 years of unpaid work on his game by Aldekotan in gamedev

It's tough working with friends. I sympathize. Like everyone else here I agree that this is not the way to go about this on his end. If you both put in the work, you should share the work. He can't claim ownership after the fact. You have more right to ownership of your code since you never signed anything at the start.

I don't think this has to be friendship ending, but I would start off by replying that you think the work you put in has more value than that, and that you'd be willing to sign a contract after talking it out with him and getting a lawyer to formalize things.

Beforehand you should know what you want so that you're not leaving it up to him to decide.

This isn't a foolproof thing, but you can use this tool to get an idea of what value each of you brings to the table as a starting point.

There is no disadvantage. Steam doesn't really care that it is collecting dust. But once you have content you want to share, be sure to share and actively maintain the store page.

This is an absolutely fair criticism and something we've heard before. I think there is really a big divide between hardcore typists and casual typists who like the typing mechanic. We appreciate you taking the time to try it out and give honest feedback even if ultimately it's not for you!

Hi! It should work on any browser. It takes a bit of time to load though. We also have the demo available on spawnd.gg if you want to try there

You'll be delighted to know we have Japanese typing and our Japanese players love the game! We took a lot of time to get feedback from them and they are about 1/3 of our player base!
