I've had enough people who enjoyed my little ~2minute game (albeit from a humble 30 rankings) and encouraged me to pursue The Colorsmith further that I've decided to dig in.

So consider this a sort of informal announcement that I'll be building out a story and designing significantly more complex and engaging puzzles around the mechanics I established in my Compo version. Based on the feedback and opportunities I have for improvement, I think this game might stand a chance at some commercial success if I build it out in depth and take time to give it some extra love. I'll just have to dig deeper and deeper into this project ;)

Thank you all for your encouragement thus far! It's given me courage to take this past a 48 hour Jam game and scope it out as a full project. I've never tried to take any of my games to that next "try-to-make-money" level, so I'm naturally pretty anticipatory to see how this all pans out. In fact, any advice you could give me about moving into the commercial space with games would be VERY appreciated. Rookie in the field here.

Anyway, here's a sneak peak at my redesigned look and feel! Would love to hear your thoughts/advice.
