I absolutely hear that - great to have the support from your loved ones (and bringing down to earth!). You got it bang-on with the scope in my opinion. Following this game jam I now understand all those comments in end game credits for older games where they thanked their girlfriends / wives for their patience!! Funny thing: today my good lady mentioned that 'there was a gaming conference and would I like tickets' - turns out it was the GMTK game jam that's on this weekend. I think doing a 48 hour gamejam at this point would probably end me :)
And please do expand your game - I love this style of game, it's a bit of a lost art. I had an idea to expand on the old EGA Trek game I loved as a kid...
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: loved the fact you added in graphical options. My PC is currently a graphical potato since my GPU gave up last year!
