Hey, good for you! It's all about making things you feel good about making. Never settle for making just what it seems the market wants.
I watched a friend play through the intro sequence and really liked the hidden character selection. A player will naturally tend towards the avatar they resonate with the most, right?
I'm glad you've found the space and the support to make something like this! The world of gaming needs more divergent voices/approaches.
I'm eager to see just how much player choice affects the narrative here. Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and The Walking Dead all tricked me into thinking my decisions mattered when in reality they didn't.
I appreciate the level of introspection and honesty it seems you've engaged with over the course of your development. Can't wait to see how that plays out in-game!
