I appreciate that, and I hope that - slow as it may be - the end result turns out to be worth it :)
Normally in development people don't see the systems being constructed - they're built by a separate team within the studio and then content is built on top of that framework by a different group of coders, artists and writers. Unfortunately, being a solo dev, that's not possible and so everyone gets to watch the scaffolding going up in real time :P
It's ponderous, and I have every sympathy with people who just want a return to Act Two (in which all the systems were in place for a good two years). Unfortunately, I need to get this darned scaffolding up first!
So I hope you can stick with it until the systems are done and the content starts rolling in, and that it's all worth it in the end. Only one way to find out! ;)
