Oh wow you wrote a lot! Thanks for watching! I'll try and answer a few of your answers.
* I'm a fan of David Lynch, I don't really mind complex stories which don't make a lot of sense, so don't worry about that. I'll definitely be playing through the rest of your games!
* The ten encounters were more annoying to find rather than the sheer number of them being too excessive... I personally loathe compulsary collect-a-thon missions unless you have a compass pointing the way to each of the collectables.
* As for opening the project file and learning from it, that might not be such a bad idea... Although I generally have a difficult time actually finishing my simpler games without having to worry about it.
* Valen's rant was the good sort of edgy! I don't remember how I responded in the vid, but it was a very good motivation as to the way she acts the way she acts.
