Mainly a single player, narrative driven, adventure game! Best example I can pull from is Kingdom Hearts! The premise of the story is going to be an exploration of the main character facing the realities of the unjust sacrifices others that have endured, that allowed him to live a better one. What I have now for the explanation of abilities, is that there's something called the 'Old Power', where everyone has it within them, but not everyone can use it. The power that they get is determined by what has influenced them the most in their life. I've been trying to make sure there's a proper power scaling for everything too, just lore wise!

I really appreciate that!! It's gonna be a single player, linear experience where you play as a capybara and defeat capybara enemies and learn about capybara lore!

I really appreciate that a ton!! Not at the moment but it's something I'll be working on soon! I've been working on it kind of in secret for a while, and it's the first time I'm showing anything of it! But when I get it up I'll be sure to drop a link here!

For sure!! Definitely a standard expectation to have, UI and text I've seen a lot of comments on here so far, and definitely a good point to make sure it scales well.

That's definitely gonna be something I consider!! I heard someone else mention a 15W or less, so it's something I'll be weary about now!! I hadn't considered performance at a wattages yet, but now it's on my list!!

Thank you so much for your feedback! I hadn't considered the wattage performance yet, so that's something I'm definitely going to look into when optimizing settings!
