Tbh I think no matter what happens with itch, I'll keep working on the game regardless. It's always been a passion project, and even if its discoverability takes a hit it's not going to be a show-stopper for me
That explains why I seem to enjoy it so much. Please keep your passion alive and well.
Also, I think I'm in love with your creativity. This game is truly amazing and I hope it never loses what it has shown in detail or scope from where it is now to throughout it's development.
