If I ever get there, I'd be happy to. My studio just first needs to consist of more than just me!

So, the post got removed by AutoModerator :( Still a few comments coming through, though.

I recently got a publisher. They will also sell it on other stores at their discretion, but nothing set up yet.

Yes, if you can't sell at at full price at launch, when can you!?

At the moment one of my characters names (chosen at random) is Esmerelda Weatherwax, but just because I love seeing her pop up from time to time. There will be a few hat tips, but it's not allowed to be a Discworld game.

I have plans of including extra-planetary resources, but there's a lot to do before we get there. Hmm, poop mechanics...

Hi. It does, but we came up with the ideas completely independently. See my reply to another comment - we've actually become online friends a while ago and they've been very helpful to me along the way.

There are arguments both ways. That's my current thinking.

Hi. Thanks for the thought. Yes, space is still evolving. I've got random areas of dry/wet, hot/cold and low/high power at the moment, but I could still do a lot with space, and even those existing ones. I usually have a base idea, then as the game progresses it gets tied down more and more.

Thank you!
I was waiting for this one to pop up. There's usually the "where are the elephants?" and this quote.

I happily own up to looking for exposure, but I always do my best to be active and involved too, to whoever finds it interesting, so as not to just "dump and run".
I'm not getting the reference in the end, though :( Please explain?

We'll see where this takes me. I'd love to this long-term, but I have 4 kids and I need to earn some money some time to keep our futures safe too. But it's a great opportunity to try give this my all!

I really love doing this. I've been doing it full-time for over a year now, and I'm eager to work on it every day!
It will be a simple "pay $20 minus any sale discounts and own the game" model. That's it. I would never be able to get myself to build ads into the game, having thousands of people watch millions of videos they don't want to watch, so I can get a few parts of a cent for each view.

At the moment there are 2 smaller ones, each one side of the large one, but they're just cosmetic. I do want to bring in some interaction with other turtles, but there's a lot to do before that can happen!
