Atelier Shalice is now Public

It’s been some long months of hard work to make it happen, but the site is finally out for public use. I know some of you have been waiting for it and I hope it’s up to your expectations.

This project started one night after some people in the comments section of my latest Tier List video commented about them getting too long and hard to navigate and keep up with. I agreed, and not only it was getting hard to read, it was also getting harder and harder to make one every month. It was an insane amount of work, for something that for the most part didn’t fully satisfy me. There was simply not enough space on the screen to talk about everything I’d like to, or include more gear options, or explore other ideas. While the game was small enough at first and this wasn’t a problem, it was now. Our game has grown.
So I decided to make a website. I had no idea how to make one. I’ve never been involved in anything similar, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’d learn a new skill from scratch just for this so with the help of close friends Heidr, Koala and Bamiji, it happened.

I believe our Global version is an extension of the Japanese one. While our community is smaller and quite a lot more fragmented, I don’t see any reason for us to not have our own resources and conversations. I think we, the players, have a partial responsibility in the relative success of the games we play. If we don’t push our game and developers, and we don’t engage in the conversations that needs to be had, then who will? I’m hoping my small contribution to it can make a difference in ours, helping others understand a bit more about the game or connecting new players to the game.

Not all characters have been finished yet, but I’ve prioritized the majority of the most consulted ones or the ones people ask about more often. I’ve additionally added a good bunch of unreleased characters for the Global version, to have some space to work on missing characters before getting to work on future ones. With some luck, I might have everyone finished by the time those characters hit our game.

I’ll use this Articles section to speak just about anyone relevant to the game or website, in particular topics that are often asked by people in sub communities and are less clear, or to make a more in depth explanation of tier lists and updates. These articles, including this one, are open to all comments and feedback.

Please remember the site is not fully optimized for mobile devices yet, because I need to learn how to first. Sorry for any inconveniencies.

My name is Shalice, but everyone just call me Shal. You can find me here, in my Discord, or in Youtube. Your support is greatly appreciated.
