Haven't gotten a chance to try the game yet, but right off the bat, I love the concept and I love the art. looking forward to trying it out.
I will admit that it's a frustrating start, but only because things are a bit hard to figure out without much guidance. I came really close to giving up, but scouring through the comments I was able to figure out enough to get me started. Now I'm starting to get engaged with the crafting system. I really really want to enjoy this game. I know some people are going to be completely in their element with it.
I get that it can be hard to figure out in the start, and it could turn a lot of players off. I'll do my best to answer questions that come up for now, and if I figure out ways to make the game beginner friendly, I'll do that too.
It's good that the comment section was useful at least. I have been thinking of maybe having a discord server or subreddit or something, but I have no experience moderating such spaces.
