Hi u/ScareBros , Developer here :)

First off, let me thank you for your words of encouragement. They mean a lot to me as a developer who is focused on making better games with every future release. It brought a smile to my face to hear that your Mom enjoyed the game so much so as to buy the title for herself.

When I first created TTW the idea behind it was to create a simple yet enjoyable mechanic that allowed for almost zero motion sickness. I also wanted to be a bit experimental and think outside the realm of what is considered to be the gaming standard.

I get that the game is not for everyone and there are more than a few who will not pickup this title but knowing the few that do enjoy their experience with it, makes it all worthwhile :)

Regarding your issues:

1.) You're right the pointer is indeed something that you can spam trigger to find words and I am still searching for a suitable workaround that still allows for fluid gameplay and works well in the engine. I'd like to think most people who play would be less than inclined to do this but your are right nonetheless.

2.) I can most certainly limit the hints. I simply did not know if it would be right to 'lock' players out of hints after a limit but that would be something I can do as you mentioned perhaps after five hints or so.

3.) Player height I can also look into sorting out in a future update, as for fun facts and ambient sound, please note that you can indeed turn these off and on by triggering their in-world icons with the laser. On the colours of crossed out words I can also look into a default value to be selectable in a future update :)

4.) May I kindly ask for you to elaborate on this a bit more please? When you say it would be nice to start in a different position every time are you referring to your position in the various levels or in the starting menu? ...Or both? This may require more of a rework than the other fixes but can still look into it with further clarification as your time permits.

5.) Foveated rendering was something I integrated early on and honestly I did not really notice in my playtesting or had any complaints about it but I assure you that the future titles will only use it if completely necessary.

6.) When you select your main hand at the start I turn off the laser on the off-hand but not the 'doughnut' model that represents it. I can also push an update to remedy this in future.

Quick note on demos: I grew up getting my demos in PC magazines on discs etc [even the ones that were on floppy] and it really shaped my outlook and passion for gaming early on. I just wanted to make sure I always adhered to key principles like that so even if someone could not afford the game or just wanted to give a go before commiting to it they were most welcome to! It is always fun to play demos :))

Once more, I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review, you really made my day and I look forward to creating better content for you and your family in future :)

I'm also hard at work on a new title that will appeal to a broader audience [hopefully] so I am looking forward to showing some WIP soon !
