    You make the same error the majority of people does, Brew.

    You compare your game to others, without providing any details as to what aspects they share. There’s nothing specified that makes the possible recipient say “wow, I want to play the game”.

    Effectively, 99% of people are going to hit “just take me to downloads” thinking “eh, it’s probably the same shit everyone does, gonna add it to a library and read… sometime… in the future… probably… OH, WHAT’S THAT OTHER PYWY GAME FEATURING QUIRKY NAME AND ‘similar to…’ PREMISE?!”

    tl;dr: “sell me on your game, and do it well” is a must, not an option. 😉

      I’m not worried. It’s a 15 page hack. If your interest wasn’t piqued by the absurd list of medieval occupations, I don’t know what to tell you! The people who have played it with me enjoyed it and now maybe others will as well. That’s fine for now.
