Thanks for feedback! I see where's the similitude between our games: that moment where the player has to decide for themself to stop playing, as it's all part of the game. You make me realize that's kind of a recurring thing in some of my recent games: have the player think about the real world. I've been thinking about it lately and this is what I came to understand about my motivations:
The french (my first language) word for entertainment is "divertissement" which would be best translatable as "self inflicted diversion". As such, I see entertainment as something that diverts us from our intended path. It is a desirable way to relax, but can never be a goal as a diversion is the semantic opposite of a goal. I could expend on that even more, but I fear it would make me forcibly integrate those ideas in future games. As for a future collab, as I already make games full time, participating in jams has become my way of bringing my own undiluted ideas to life without the need to explain anything to anyone, at least not when it comes to code or design. I've worked in teams in the past, and will probably go back to doing it someday. Until then, happy game making!
