===What OniGalore Contains=== | |||
The founding purpose of the wiki was actually technical documentation: the fans who were reverse-engineering the format of the game data needed a place they could collaborate. Over time, fan fiction and fan art were added in large amounts, and project pages for mods and modding tools were created. Eventually we even got around to documenting the game itself from a player standpoint (years after the wiki was started :-), though there's still work to do there. | |||
