Ren'Py At a cross roads with my game

[blapper21]

So, I started developing my game The Stowaway a while ago.

https://f95zone.to/threads/the-stowaway-0-02a-dazzling-media.201704/


When I started I had no software development experience or game dev experience at all. Feedback hasn't been great, but it could be a lot worse.

I also wasn't working when I started, so I had a lot of time to work on it. But I know work full time and have 2 young kids to help look after.


Now my question is, should I simplify the game a lot, I don't want to abandon it, if so how?

Thanks in advance.

Having not played it (I don't like kinetic novels... way too boring for me), I'd say strip out the sandbox mechanics if they're really not adding any benefit to the game. Sandbox can introduce a lot of complications. Instead, you can just focus on telling your story.
