PFFT I just left a comment on the 1.5 update. That's amazing! I am looking forward to it dude. WELCOME BACK! Congrats on the law degree. I'm glad to see you make quite a return to developing the game again. As for a patreon alternative that's much more freeing, I'd say SubscribeStar or Ko-Fi. Those two as far as I've seen are quite clean in how they treat their people. The new map sketch looks really nice. I am glad to see you are well under way to get back into it. Take your time and something I am most certain will blossom into something beautiful for all to enjoy. I can't wait to see the day it does come to steam and get the love it deserves and delivers. I will patiently await that day and buy it as soon as it is available. Good luck and to a fruitful future!

Scott! It's been a while! I just read your other comment, you are always so kind, it's truly a pleasure to receive messages from you.
Thanks for the warm welcome :) I'll definitely work hard on this and try to make it something more and more enjoyable. Some things like porting and such take a long time, but I really think it's worth it. Hopefully in not too long I'll be able to share something cool I've been working on and then get some feedback to see how you and other people like it. This is a really iterative process so only after mistakes it can get better.
I hope everything is going well with your life, and as we talked about before, winter is going away, and a nice spring is coming. Wish you the best Scott.
Yeah, things have actually gotten quite well since we last spoke. We no longer have a wood crisis. We were almost out of wood for over a few weeks but recently we've been getting more wood than I can split and stack in a day. I still got some stuff to work on but I'd rather be busy than just sad and cold. And very true, mistakes no matter if it is the same one, will only help you get better at what you're trying to do. This Spring is quite early but luckily we're getting more wood soon than what's available at the moment so it'll last a while hopefully. Though it means I've got quite a bit of shoveling to do since we had SO MUCH SNOW this year. It was super excessive and a real pain to work around. Visiting the game again reminded me how pleasant the OST is so I look forward still for what comes next. All best dude, looking forward to what's cooking.
Damn I always have a hard time during winter and don't ever see snow, can't imagine winter where you are from! I guess with a lot of snow also comes a lot of water, so no lack of wood for you. Indeed it's best to do something and feel active!
Thankfully a lot of wonderful japanese composers that have royalty free music; once this gets a bit bigger I'd love to contact them and see if I can have some commissioned music from them, would be really cool!
And same to you :)
