• ... that when the developers of Superhot noticed Grace Bruxner's "cool frog game", they were "like" "hmmm,,, what if,,,,, money?????"?
  • ALT1:... that a reviewer called The Case of the Invisible Wizard "goofy without slipping into wackiness, and facetious without sliding into sarcasm"?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @TheAwesomeHwyh: Long and new enough, things that need to be sourced (including the hook) are sourced, and the copyvio tool is only detecting the title and quotes. QPQ is not needed as this is just your 2nd DYK. Though you may want to add the cover art (if there's any) and which systems the games are in, exact release date, etc. Either alt is fine, but original is better especially for the quirky slot. I still can't believe the original hook is an actual quote, though. Juxlos (talk) 21:45, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Tone

Hi @TheAwesomeHwyh:,

To me, the bit about Superhot Team funding the development lacks a formal tone.

Developer Grace Bruxner said that Superhot noticed her "cool frog game" and were "like" "hmmm,,, what if,,,,, money?????" and she was "like" "…ok fine".

Two times the word 'like', five commas and five question marks. The "...ok fine" also comes off as reluctant somehow. In the Rock, Paper, Shotgun piece doesn't have anything substantial in it either.

“Here’s the real story of how this happened. SUPERHOT noticed my cool frog game and were like “hmmm,,, what if,,,,, money?????” and I was like “…ok fine but I will only agree if you send me lots of superhot t-shirts because I need clothes to wear around the house when I make the game” and they said “weird request but ok” and sent me a big box of shirts. And that’s all I wear now.“

My guess is there's more to the story than Superhot Team saying "hmmm,,, what if,,,,, money?????" That Superhot Team funded the development should be enough for now. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:29, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

quote

Hey, Nixinova, that's a direct quote I think? --valereee (talk) 22:02, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

I don't know, I was just correcting incorrect quote mark placement.  Nixinova   T   C   22:03, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Nixinova, per the source, I think the placement is correct -- am I reading it wrong? I've had a glass of wine so anything's possible --valereee (talk) 22:04, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

It said "cool frog game and "were like ' which was definitely not correct.  Nixinova   T   C   22:05, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Nixinova, they noticed her cool frog game, and they were like...that's correct, to me. What am I missing? --valereee (talk) 23:59, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Note the double quotation marks - "cool frog game and "were - the second closes the first, unbalancing the quote.  Nixinova   T   C   03:19, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
