Hey Hoff, had the recent whim to look up Cart Life again, as I played it many years ago, thinking what a unique and interesting narrative experience it was; I was working as a burger-flipper assistant and kitchen porter at the time of playing, and the emotions I had with it really made me appreciate the art that goes into making something like this.
Especially now, with how miserable a lot of stuff is, totally understand you kinda wanting to do other things, but know that a lot of people were touched by your work; I'm now a junior dev (doing terrible front-end) and was delightfully looking over the Github for Cart Life/working on my own (terrible) stuff, expect a donation from me, but also know that people will absolutely support you if you want to polish it up into something you're happy to call finished! If anything, so we can all stop harranguing you for updates haha.
Much love, from one very caffeinated, work-stuck dev(?) to another, I hope life treats you well :)
