Great visuals as always. Lovely tilesets. I think constraints produce results compared to free time because you have to finalize decisions. With infinite free time to produce projects, there is paradoxically little imperative to do so. Adding a ticking clock all of a sudden puts everything into perspective, lesser things go by the wayside, priorities rise to the top, and the work gets done while adhering to new shifting guidelines.
Not saying my view is revolutionary or anything, but I do think the infinite time zone mechanic corrupts output. With infinite time, what do you even create? The biggest, most complicated thing ever? No...but with a time limit, 2 years, 4 years, whatever, the mind tries to output something which would take advantage of the limited remaining opportunities.
