But the grass is always greener of course, it doesn't really do me any good to think along those lines
Now I can make games, even if I kinda hate programming

And hey, it's never too late to pick up a pencil

I still would try to make video games, of course, but maybe I wouldn't have spent 5 years being mostly miserable getting my engineering degree and then spend 3 years being mostly miserable working on games like Fortnite Mobile
Maybe I would have been a more open person if I went in an art school

It feels weird to come to this realization now
I hit a fork in the road when I was 18 and chose to go into computer science mainly because I was good at it. I liked the puzzle aspect of programming, and I wanted to make video games.

Now I'm nearly 28 and I wonder if I made the right choice

Will there be a second wave of release? I missed the campaign, but I'd love to buy the book.

Wishlisted your game, it looks really cool!

I still recommand you play Flynn: Son of Crimson, it's not a bad game at all. It's worth it just for the pixel art, honestly.

There are some good ideas in the game, I like the Scourge invasions, there's some pretty great levels, especially in the ice region and at the very end of the game.

This game was lovingly made, that's plain to see, but I wish it did something, anything, to make it.. weirder, more complex, grander, deeper, harsher, I wish it built on ideas instead of throwing them, deviated from its plot, I wish it had growth, characters, ANYTHING to make it more interesting

It's complicated, because I really wanted to like this game, it feels great, it looks great, but overall, it's just... not very exciting, or novel, or original, or... interesting.

And that pains me to say, because it does look like a lot of effort went into it! It's incredibly polished!

Some levels have multiple exits, but that's barely a mechanic since the alternate exits aren't hidden, and the keys aren't either, you just get them from quests.

There are secret treasures that are "hidden", but almost none of them required more than just looking at your screen to find them.

The gimmicks are barely developped, and get dropped as soon as you switch environments.

The plot is paper-thin and full of tropes, Flynn is the son of the hero, inherited a great power, must protect the world against the evil bad guy who wants to destroy it, etc etc
