I didn’t realize I needed to explain or justify why I created an optional feature, haha. But sometimes I feel like people struggle to just be grateful that something exists, right? I could give a short answer like, “I know what I’m doing, so I did it.”
The thing is, Our Home is an indie game, but it’s also a product. And as a developer, I need to keep adding value to my work. My monthly update schedule means supporters are constantly downloading new versions and dealing with patches, which can get exhausting. This feature was designed to make things easier for them.
And yes, I chose to make it public. It’s not some random blotware — it’s a tool made specifically for Our Home. It’s simple, it’s useful, and if paying patrons are finding value in it, that’s more than enough reason for it to exist.
