How much appreciation and support (if any) do fangame creators deserve, and are they currently getting enough?I think there is a ton of support for creators right now during the creation phase. I don't think I've ever seen a question go unanswered in the gamemaking section of discord. As for post release I think we can do better. Every time I check twitch there are the same 5 or so games being played. It seems that when you release a game it will be played for maybe 2 days or so and then be forgotten.
Is it okay to heavily criticize people’s fangames that they made on their own time for everyone to enjoy?As a content creator there is nothing more important to me than taking in people's criticism and using it to make my next game better. It also important to get feedback from multiple people as nothing will please everybody.
How much patience and forgiveness (if any) should fangame streamers and players be expected to have?I think we get an appropriate amount right now. To what extent can you be proud of a fangame that heavily uses other people’s content? (spook jam, medleys, and in general using music+sprites+sounds made by others)Personally I don't really understand the draw of medleys but I'll leave that to other people. As for music, sprites and sounds, most of us simply cannot create these assets. I try to take content that is generally available without restrictions. Is it okay to use the self-made assets of other people’s fangames?I would never and especially not without permission. Assets can be hard to find and I'd like to shamelessly plug this thread which I still update fairly regularly with new assets freely available to any maker. There's no excuse for generic brown blocks anymore.
To what extent (if any) are quality fangames not getting attention they deserve?I think there are a ton of good fangames that get no play. I think that makers with established reputations get a lot more leniency and attention for their releases. I think we could do with a 'game of the week' promotion on delfruit similar to the streamer of the month in order to push some of the lesser known but quality games.
To what extent (if any) are fangame creators limiting their creative growth as opposed to making freeware games for a bigger, more general audience?I think think this is really much of a concern. We're all here because we love fangames. There's nothing stopping anyone from branching out.

Another thing I noticed is that when "game over" shows up on screen, it isn't centered. It appeared much lower on the screen and got cut off at the edge screen so I had to adjust that. Not sure if anyone else had that problem.
