Exactly. You've gotta be happy with it, first and foremost, right? Anyway, I don't think you're going to be disappointed in peoples' reactions, if the vague previews we've had from the testers are any indication
And try not to be too hard on yourself regarding the development time and all. In retrospect it's easy to think, you know, you could have spend less time on
this; or maybe implemented that feature in an easier way. But that's just part of development and it does lead to a better understanding of the game, or even just your development process. Even if you spent 'too much' time on something, or even it it doesn't get implemented at all, that's not the same as that time being wasted.
Oooh. Even
wholesome brother-sister bonding time? >.>
