Thank you for the encouragement and the follow! I admit I am much in the same boat having had a cool idea, wanting to follow it to completion, and choosing to fund it out of pocket rather than crowd funding so I related pretty hard with your update. I also wrestled with some of these feelings during past playtests, especially with harsh criticism because my system wasn't more like others. While it is important to know your audience, it is also just as important to keep true to the vision. That said, I suppose that is much harder to do for our contemporaries who have to work with investors. One of the benefits of going the route we chose is we can experiment and design for the project over profit.

Here-here! From one indie dev working on a passion project to another, I'm glad to hear you're making the game you want to make rather than trying to make it fit an audience that might never like it. Those who do enjoy the game will appreciate it all the more!

To be honest, I hadn't thought of it, but I'll look into it! (I'll post a devlog about it soon.)
