Sorry for the late response, I was trying to think of how to word my thoughts carefully >.< thank you so much for playing and for writing such a thought-out comment!
I’m really glad the game found you when it did, and that it helped you feel a little less alone with these thoughts. You don’t need to apologize for sharing any of this. It didn’t feel like “too much”; it felt like someone speaking carefully and sincerely about where they are. I’m especially grateful you trusted me with something so personal, including how grief has shaped your work.
I’m honored the game could lift a bit of that weight, even temporarily. If it gave you permission to feel, to cry, or to keep going just a little longer, then it did what I hoped it would do. =)
Here’s to next year treating us a bit more kindly, and let’s keep creating what comes from the heart 🫂
