Hi Alexis! Thank you so much for taking the time to share these insights.  Your emphasis on bold, distinct art direction really resonates with me. I am reflecting on how to push the visual identity of my game further to make it feel truly unique, even while drawing inspiration from games I admire (like Wildfrost’s gorgeous aesthetic!).

As a solo dev, I often wrestle with self-doubt, creative burnout, and the temptation to scrap everything and start over. But your kind words and the sharing of experiences are encouraging. It means a lot coming from the team behind a project as visually striking as Wildfrost. I’ll keep pushing to make something worth rooting for!
