It's also worth noting that working alone doesn't mean not sharing with anyone. Solo devs have friends and partners we share accomplishments with and bounce ideas off. And yeah, sharing my work with those close to me is often reinvigorating.

I respect your position. There's absolutely advantages to working with a team. Solo dev can be lonely, but also has its own rewards. I love the process of learning so many skills and challenging myself to make my own complete vision real. Even my shortcomings make my art uniquely mine.

The game looks pretty neat, and I might have to check it out!

But it does seem like an odd marketing strategy to associate it with the parents of what is presumably your target demographic.

There's something so wonderfully old-timey about this criminal making his explosive escape from a building simply called Jail, on balloons no less. So much character on display here.

It's a tough world for artists competing for attention. It's not a reflection of the quality of your art, just the fact that there's so much competition. I try to focus on the joy of creation, and hopefully recognition will eventually follow. Nobody can take the joy of the process from you.
