Man, that's really encouraging. I don't know how you define success personally but I hope you achieve it. Here's what I'm working on now: 
I'll need the that character or template (hopefully both) for sale on itch, before I can get out another mook in this style. for sale before I do more free stuff.
If you're up to it, DM me on twitter, I'd like to see your game and maybe get some feedback on my new assets. Cheers.
