Cool!

How did you handle it between money, work and your spare time?

Are you happy with your work work life balance?

Have you tried a publisher?

What financial expectations do you have for being able to keep on it?

How do you balance family and friends?

That was hard, basically nearly no spare time. For some time I was also working part-time.

> Are you happy with your work work life balance?

Until now there was unfortunately no balance, all work. I am hoping that things improve from now.

> Have you tried a publisher?

No, we have got many enquiries and emails but we were not compelled by them.

> What financial expectations do you have for being able to keep on it?

The hope is to earn a similar or slightly lower amount compared to a SWE job (on average). If this game won't provide enough to pay my bills long term, then things will need to be changed.

> How do you balance family and friends?

This is also hard to balance, and pandemic made it only worse. Lots of online calling and rare visits.
