Just made an account here to swing by and show support, since Born of Bread is looking really great!
I happen to be one of those people who actually likes the new direction Nintendo's taken with Paper Mario, as well as enjoying "old" PM. Personally I think it's cool that you and other indie devs have stepped up to provide the "old" Paper Mario-esque games so we all have more choices.
I plan to study game design myself hopefully in the near future, so I hope you don't mind me playing BoB once it's released and using it as study material!
