Today I implemented that last extra features to SomnaBuster. This has been a 12 month project, and it's not even over yet. I'm excited, exhausted, proud, terrified, and thankful. I never could've imagined pulling something off with this scope even a year ago.

gaming is a context-sensitive medium and committing to one style of gameplay inherently limits your ability to express certain themes on the opposite end you have to take individual game genres' 'Metropolis' into account instead of games as a whole

@GobaDev

I find it interesting that gaming doesn't really have a Metropolis, i.e. a triumph of the medium in spite of technical limitations, politically poignant and even dangerous. Talking time-frame, FF7 is maybe the closest you'll get.
