I'm always very grateful to get feedback from you, and look forward to it a lot! And yeah, it's a team effort, we got multiple artists! Backgrounds, sprites and visual assets for the build were mainly handled by Jamie, so all the kudos for those go to him - I directed and gave suggestions, but he had a lot of ideas and brought these locales to life. I promise that it's also surreal for me to see this stuff visually, instead of only in my head.
We'll try not to take so long with the next build! We're hard at work with this stuff but also real life obligations and situations, so sadly we can't promise monthly builds, but we shall try our best regardless!
