Having played a bit of the Linux version recently: I'm struck by how good this game could be... if it wasn't a solo developer, or it was way, WAY more moddable. I keep seeing the states you can manipulate characters into, and more broadly, the systems the game has have all this potential. However, the idea that one developer is going to fill all that stuff in to me is ludicrous, no matter how good their tools are, or how skilled they are with coding, modeling, etc., It's just too much, and it feels like something that would have to be an open source project, or something ludicrous like that, to work.
Look, hopefully I'm wrong, and I don't know, maybe the dev will get faster over time because they'll be able to re-use prior work more often.
