First and foremost - awesome game and I am glad that it's getting the attention it deserves. I'm glad I found it.
As the dad of a little one (2.5 now, but I remember those early days) - take care of the kiddo, your partner/wife/spouse/term you choose, and yourself first and foremost. It is an amazing time and I hate to think you'd miss one second of it working on the game would bother me immensely.
Lastly, and least important, a Linux version would be amazing. It would mean playability on Steam Deck natively and that would be so cool.
Viewing post in Free downloadable offline version is coming! comments
As a dad and developer, I want to second Kithoo's advice. It might feel like you are missing an opportunity by being away from this game's development at this time, but you aren't. Great games always find life and this game is great. Prioritize your new baby and mom as well. Both deserve your attention and you deserve to allow yourself to give it to them!
Awesome game and thank you for sharing. You built a soul into this game, which is by far the hardest part. There will always be time to clean up the little nagging bugs and QOL changes. Remember that a game is done, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
** Ironically, while writing this very message, ITCH experienced some sort of interruption and went down for about 15 minutes. Not a huge interruption, but just another reason why an offline download would be awesome.
Thank you for your kind words and advice and for taking time out from your life to play the game,
The same sentiments are coming from the Mums and Dads in the discord so I'm very thankful of the understanding of people,
"Remember that a game is done, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
This is perfect!
If you haven't seen the downloads are live,
I have no way off testing Linux on my end so let me know if anything is off!
Thank you for the kind words, For playing and for taking the time to write this,
Little man has just work up for a feed and is settling so I'll take these moments to do my admin!
Linux will be available same time as the windows one, It's all set up I just need to test both work as expected before I add them to itch!
