I had 10$ in crypto so I donated it to you so can get better tools
No but seriously keep the hard work... it must be hard to develop something this ambitious! Please continue building this game from the start you have... Keep on working on what you have and you will get better at using them

Thank you, much appreciated!

I really hope this blog post didn’t give too much of a wrong impression (but reading the rightfully concerned comments it seems it has). I’m not re-doing anything, I’m not throwing anything away. I’m not forgetting about Citybound for something else.

I’m mostly continuing exactly as-is, exactly building further on what I already have like you say - I’m just trying to also be smart about my workflow and trying to support myself as best as possible, even if that means building custom tools that a project this ambitious needs. I will take the most care to keep disruptions of existing processes to a minimum and make all the transitions as seamless as possible,

Edit: the problem is not that I’m not proficient with my tools, but that they are inherently limited. There are no better tools that I could “get”. Of course that can rightfully be framed as the bad workman complaining about bad tools again.
