Yeah, having had more time to digest I think I agree. It's easy to forget this games development still has a ways to go and fine tuning difficulty can wait until after making sure different tools and methods are usable in the first place. Not to mention theres still a whole nother act waiting to shake up the meta later
I appreciate the switch back to the old art. That said, I'm sorry the attempt at improving it didn't work out, that must be frustrating
