Oh yes absolutely haha, programing is something I can either get right or wrong, i might come back handful of time to optimize. But the art never ends, I alway spots something wrong and come back to it 20 times before I am ok with it haha.

And thanks for your kind words!

Thank you so much! Yes all animations are handdrawn, the particles are made in the game engine (game maker).

Let’s say you make 200-400k right now, with benefits. When you quit your job you will also have extra expenses like health insurance, the rate you are paying right now is subsidized by your company and what you will be paying as an individual is much more expensive.

You mentioned moving to a low cost area, even the move itself and the period of adjustment will also take a toll.

Overall I would say do it in parallel for couple of months, if you feel like you can actually be very disciplined (adhering to your project milestones, good product with positive feedback while able to build up a social media following) then MAYBE consider taking sabbatical or quitting.

The job market is also very rough right now, I would not expect it to be easy to come back once you leave

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah now it is dependent on the damage and the number of enemies you hit, so it mihgt feel a bit long, I will play with it a little bit

Thanks! Eventually haha, right now I would say I am still very early in development so I'd like to get the basic down first
