people who say “I want shorter games with worse graphics by people who are paid more to work less”
you *truly* don’t really understand how much work and expertise it takes to make a short game with low visual fidelity to be compelling enough to be a sustainable business, let alone be sellable

I'm a simple girl. I get up in the morning, go to work (at my kitchen table), open my laptop, and scream until any thought other than koos words pops into my head. Then I type out that thought and continue screaming.

Okay, I am going to tell a little story.
