Actually, the term "Indy game developer" caught my attention, as I have never heard that expression before. I actually read your entire blog, and I think that a game that actually teaches Japanese is ingenious. I mean, the
only reason me or any of my friends ever wanted to learn japanese was so that we could understand what was going on in Japan-only games (SNES Fire Emblem, etc.).
I'll buy a copy of your game should you ever release it
