I was curious about The World's Hardest Game TAS, and thought "Is there a TASVideos submission?" so I checked, and it turned out that there was only a submission if the 2nd game.
I knew what I had to do, I wanted to make a submission for TASVideos so it can get published to TASVideosChannel.
I asked them if perhaps they made a real TAS (when I say a real TAS, I refer to the movie file TASVideos uses) that was unpublished, got a reply to check pinned messages, turned out it was a TAS mod.
I got to work, but I knew I had no knowledge of the game, tried my best until level 2, then DimRom sent me GGG502's ruffle TAS, and told me to compare to it and not the flash TASes since ruffle has inaccurate emulation compared to flash player.
I essentially "copied" the rest of the levels, but made slight tweaks to make it at least a bit different.
When I asked about the credits, they told me to link the original TAS video they made for ruffle using their TAS mod, I did link it, and I thought that it was enough, since I was the one who made the movie file, but after reading Fraims'es post about his mixed feelings about this submission, I felt guilty, since the community had spent years making the TAS tools and optimizing their TASes, and I, a completely random guy just came in their server and basically stole their work, but on an actual emulator instead of the modified sfw.
I take full responsibility, and I am sorry for stealing the community's hard work.
I am willing to make the things right, either by changing the description of the submission, adding more authors and putting me in the last place, or just taking this submission down completely.
And once again, I would like to sincerely and deeply apologize to the WHG's comminity, for essentially plagiarizing their hard work and taking all the credit to myself, I realized it was wrong to make myself an only author, so I added original authors of the ruffle TAS, though I am yet to make more changes to this submission, to make things right. Not sure if I should add the TAS mod makers as authors or just in the submission description, I will discuss about the additional changes with the WHG community.
Best regards.
