Oh, it's not meant to be a dig at you. I adore Jeff Vogel's work - who has to outsource graphics and sound, because he is a one person band of a game dev who is bad at both, and yet has consistently been notoriously cheap on those expenses, because pretty graphics and sound aren't the reason why people buy his games. Instead, he relies on tons of exploration and side-quests, combined with incidentally dropped world-building and lore.
Delivering something like a JRPG version of a Spiderweb Software RPG as a debute is no small feat, even if it will only appeal only to a tiny portion of the gamer demographic like me.
