Thank you so much, this is really well thought out and super helpful! I really appreciate that you took the time to write all this, and offer a perspective on things that I was blind to. I've already made a list of action items from this that I can start working on now. Just one thing I feel like I should note is that there is a re-spec button at the bottom of the status screen. As for the art direction, I see what you mean and that's unfortunate. I was going for a mashup of styles similar to the Amazing World of Gumball or the Gorillaz music videos. It was an experiment that I don't see in a lot of media, and maybe now I see why. Anyways, thank you again.
Oh, I see what you were going for now that you mention the Gorillaz. Just don't let my remarks be off-putting, it shouldn't prevent you from the attempting to use that style, it's just perhaps more difficult or requires more time than you have to execute. I still believe that will small adjustments to everything the mash of styles could be cohesive. It just may be very time-consuming. Lofty and challenging goals are still praiseworthy, and what you produced was still good. Best of luck.
