Man, you've impacted more people than you know. Your game is the reason that I decided to get into making games.
I know how you feel, a small bit, I've felt similar, except I couldn't handle it and got a job at a studio and put my own ambitions aside. Having that faith in what you're doing is terrifying when you've got a family to take care of. I think this game will mean something to alot of people and will generate enough buzz to make this worth it's while.
I found your game in 2013 as I was getting out of the Marines and working in a Vape shop. All day I worked a cash register and couldn't wait to get home and kind of do the same thing in cart life. It was the first game, I played, that was this heartfelt, honest and ugly about reality. That made me feel the same thing I felt when I listened to music where people pour their heart out, making something beautiful with horrible feelings. You've already made something beautiful the first time, I hope you are able to finish and this game brings everything I feel you deserve. Thank you for this game and how it's changed my life. I make games because of your game.
I wish I could do more, I gave what I could, but if you could use some extra fingers pretty experienced in menu/UI and C++ let me know :).
