1	!!To The Moon trivia
2	* DevelopmentGag: ''To the Moon'' is made in RPG Maker. The engine is obvious to those who are familiar with it, but the game makes no use of the combat system... except for a brief [[UnexpectedGameplayChange parody of turn-based RPG battle systems]] towards the beginning of the game.
3	* DiagnosisOfGod: On the 10th anniversary of the game, Kan Gao [[https://twitter.com/reives_freebird/status/1669751016584097794 made a Twitter thread]] explaining why it's not explicitly stated in the game that River is autistic. He wanted to [[ShowDontTell show it through her actions]] rather than just telling about them, and also encourage the players to look up her condition so they can be properly educated on it.
4	* ScienceMarchesOn: River's condition is listed as "pervasive developmental disorder", which is no longer in use as of the [=DSM=] 5. Additionally, Tony Attwood's work [[note]]there's a shout-out to him in the game[[/note]] has decreased in relevance to the autistic community.

7	* FandomNod: A {{Lets Play}}er by the name of [[LetsPlay/ChaoticMonki Cryaotic]] requested that Kan put a blender in the next game after having played ''To The Moon''[[note]]The two have been in contact since Cry played ''To the Moon'' when it was relatively unknown, and has given him a ''To the Moon'' music box and Steam codes to give away in the past[[/note]]. The presence of one in this wouldn't necessarily count, were it not for Kan Gao confirming the nod in his comment on the video.
8	-->'''[[WordOfGod Kan R. Gao]]''': Cheers Cry, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Consider the blender in it your virtual property. c:

11	* ReleaseDateChange: The game was originally set for a release in December 2020, but ended up getting pushed back to Spring 2021. The release date on the Steam page was updated to lampshade this:
12	-->I know it said "End of 2020" but uhhh that could technically mean 2021..? (Spring!)
13	** It was eventually released on ''September 30, 2021'', or as the Steam page put it, May 153rd.
