20 Minutes Till Dawn edit

I was reading the orphan article 20 Minutes Till Dawn and saw that it was inspired by Vampire Survivors. Is there a place for this fact on this page? JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 21:27, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

On being a roguelike edit

@ThisNameTagPasses: I fully agree that VS does not meet many of the requirements of the Berlin Interpretation, but it is original research to apply the Berlin Interpretation ourselves to determine how VS should be classified; we must go by what reliable sources say, and most call it a roguelike or roguelite. And on Wikipedia, because of how poorly defined the difference in roguelike or roguelite in RSes (even though our page tries to spell it out) we have taken to calling any roguelite as "roguelike" as to avoid any further original research. — Masem (t) 14:54, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Okie dokie, I get what you mean. I hate that it has to be like this, since even the steam page refers to the game as only having "roguelite elements" and not as actually being a roguelite, but I get why it's described as a roguelike here, even if it's wrong. Thanks for explaining. ThisNameTagPasses (talk) 15:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
