Thank you! You may be biased, but clearly also have good taste! haha I’ll let you know when the next version goes live, if you’re interested! I’d love any feedback you have to offer.
This is a shameless plug, but the best advice I have on making games about nature is my GDC talk
But more generally, my feedback would be to double down on balance as a theme, even though every other game doesn't
Balance vs chaos is exactly the theme I’m going for. I have a background in biology and CS, so lots of personal and field experience to draw from.
Good luck!
