I really appreciate the advice! I've been doing game development for a little over a year now, but this is my first time actually releasing something on itch.io.
I've been a software engineer for a few years, so I'm pretty confident in my programming abilities (this prototype took me about 4 days to make). I've just always struggled with the art side of things, but using assets has allowed me to do what I do best!
I've never tried making any horror games, but I've heard from a lot of people it's an extremely popular genre on here, so maybe I should give it a try!
