x. You should really bring your intellectual side out a lot more, Garnet is lacking your grip on it. From what I see, what you've released in Garnet, and who you are and your opions are so far from being the same. I too, am very interested in philosophy and the many great theologists you've mentioned in your post. I don't think it'd do too much harm to release some of it. I really hope I get to see the more depth in Granet in which you plan in implementing, maybe then I wont be so sore as to how over rated parts of it are. Without sounding mean, the Garnet thread has about 14 pages of people purely in awh over aesthetics. I'm not bashing your game though, it is by far my most favoured I've seen around, and to be honest with you, it inspired me to get into game development myself after a long time in hacking.
Though I know where you're coming from with the stroyline, I too have a very complex one in which took me months to actually complete and is still progressing. Though I know you didn't want to release anything, people like me, people who know what it is to go into game development with an idea different to anything anyone has ever seen and having the pressure to outline it. Though I love Garnet, i didn't think that you would just want another "Oh this game looks awesome, the graphics are amazing, I want to play it right now!", as though those posts are flattering, they're just not enough, you need the motivation to improve.
Anyway, maybe a longer VM than intended but I look forward to your reply, didn't really wanna take it back to the thread haha.
