Game yaroze - not Net yaroze
[edit]Can someone please, PLEASE fix this. The game was from Sony's Game Yarouze project, where people submitted proposals for commercial development. It has ZERO to do with Net yarouze, the student programming thing.

Check it on the Wayback Archive to find an interview with the Devil Dice creator where all is explained.
- You contradicted yourself right on the title. It does have to do with Net Yaroze, seeing the link you provided. Net Yaroze also acted as a way to propose games made using Net Yaroze to Sony. Roberth Martinez (talk) 13:24, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
- The article mentioned above does indeed talk about how Devil Dice was a Game Yaroze game - it's an interview on the official Game Yaroze website, with one of the creators of the game. It does not mention Net Yaroze. I've explained the difference between the two programs in a new section of the article. The misconception is widespread enough to even make an appearance in the most popular YouTube video covering Net Yaroze. The misinformation was on this article for years. I think this section will be necessary to undo the damage. Also, one of my references is a self-published book, but it's from the same author as one of the news articles cited. The snippet of text associated with that citation isn't strictly vital to the new section, and can be removed if it's problematic. --LiquidSevens (talk) 20:41, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- That's some excellent info which you added to the article, LiquidSevens. I just tweaked it so that the emphasis is on the development info rather than on the widespread belief that Devil Dice was a Net Yaroze game, firstly because people confusing Net Yaroze with Game Yaroze doesn't seem very notable, and secondly because putting "Net Yaroze" in the title of a section and stating that Devil Dice being a Net Yaroze game is commonly believed to be true are likely to perpetuate the very misconception you're trying to dispel.
