I think you're doing a great job. I really want to play this game. Do you think I should start playing it now or is it better to wait for more stability/features? Or maybe the game is already very stable lol. I'm always afraid I'll start playing and then new updates will force me to start my save all over again. It's not a big deal but sometimes that can interrupt my immersion.

That is really up to you. I have made sure the game is very stable and as bug free as possible, but there are some missing stuff like tutorials that can make it more difficult. I always mention on updates if I think old saves will continue to work, which generally they will. I would wait 30 mins after this post as I am putting the new update as I type this, with 1 more feature update planned in a few days. Outside of this next feature the game is super feature rich, I will be shifting into expanding on some of the systems that exists but are undeveloped Ie more milestones, more character models. There all fully functional systems they just need more meat.
After I get everything filled out I will be focused on "End Game" which will be AAA games / console development / creating your own conventions and a ton of interesting interactions with other companies.. I have a ton of end game ideas many of which have been suggested by players, but I dont wanna get into specifics yet until I am sure I can create the mechanics before I promise them ^^
However the early / mid game is super filled out and def worth trying in it's current state, but it will of course get better and better as I move towards eventually EA release, and I totally understand if players want to just wait for final versions. I will be creating a more finalized DEMO for steam in the future as well which will give people a good taste of the game in a more finalized state, but that will take some time.
