I will admit I have a habit of yapping a lot! I tend to say all that comes to mind. I did find out that the reason I couldn't see the puddles was because the default gamma was way too high. So the puddles and stuff blended in. Honestly I think it would be really cool to have the tfs lead down their own path of progression where the objective of the game changes in a way. like make the liquid goo could involve building a hive or something since they are focused around laying eggs to make more. As for the whole soft lock thing. I think the biggest frustration with it is down to having no saves so you are forced to fully restart every time. I love hearing what you are saying though!
