Ok, good to know. Yes, time is the biggest factor in everything. All I can say, as the compo moderator, is that the compo will be running for another two weeks. If you want to try things out, just submit a new version to lifeschool on Lemon Amiga, and I'll let the players have at it. One player in particular, Turrican4, has already sent advice, and could be useful even after the compo ends, to test things for you. Maybe a Kickstarter to finish the project would help. If you aim for 15k, you might get 45.
