Excellent, thank you!! (Sorry for the late response!) I will certainly scour the internet for it.

Also you are very welcome! Certainly, you have a lot of talent. Reading your reply warmed my heart a bit, haha! A lot of games aren't achieving their full potential because the creators are more concerned with money, so I can very much appreciate when I see someone pouring their heart into the little world they came up with in their head. Pretty inspiring. Your creation here is also what I think must've inspired a little world of my own I came up with in my head, so thanks again.

This is so incredibly sweet of you to say!!!!??? Ahh, thank you! It’s such a huge compliment to know that I might’ve inspired other people :’) Really, thanks so much!

Yeah, I’m lucky enough to be in a steady full-time job, so I just make games for fun as a passion project. I just like making up characters and worlds to play around in. I think that gives me more artistic freedom because I don’t have to worry about whether it’s “marketable,” if you know what I mean. But at the same time, that also means I have less time to work on my creative stuff. I do really like my day job, though, so I’m happy. I totally respect the folks who are hustling in the games industry and trying to make a career of it! I just couldn’t handle that intensity lol...I’m cool with making little stories like this on the side.

You’re welcome!! That’s something I hope to achieve. My brother and I have been speculating ideas for a game we wanted to create together, and we agreed that if we are able to inspire and/or leave an impression on people through it then that’s a huge accomplishment to be proud of. So yeah, I respect when games can do that and actually mean something to me, like yours.

Also, yes, I totally get what you are saying! The most important thing is that you’re happy with what you do and your life in general anyway. Of course just because a game is made at least mostly for profit doesn’t mean it’s bad and I very much respect those in that field, but it’s just so nice to see someone doing what they’re doing just because they want to. A game doesn’t need a bunch of fancy graphics and loads of functions, or even a lot of characters, to be ‘good’. Sometimes the simplest games are the best ones.

Hey, best of luck to you and your brother! If you ever do end up making a game, you should totally link me. :) And once again, thank you so much.

I agree with that too! It's not the resources that make the game, it's the love and care put into it. Some of the best games I've ever played are indie affairs made by people who just love what they're doing. They inspire me to work harder!
