      ...I was hoping for a chance to do some good work for a game that would be cool enough to get noticed. Okay, so I'm being brutally honest. Apologies, but the game industry is not forgiving."

      "This level of game cannot keep the interest of adults, so it would be best to make it a Children's game with Children's themes." "The time-rewind thing may be a programming help in the development process but I find it confusing and annoying if part of the game itself."

      (All those comments are from one guy who I was trying to get to do the art for the game. There are many more!) People have no idea (a) how much work it is to get a game done (b) how hard it is for many people to understand the thing, if it's not a thing they already know.

      He played for 30 minutes, "up to a pit where there was a growing green key and there's no way out of the pit". The letter he sent me was really long, like pages long!
