Hello, fellow gamers and supporters! 

I'm John from Distraction Studios, a solo game developer pouring heart and soul into crafting immersive experiences. 

Over the past two years, I've been meticulously shaping a project very dear to me – "Pygmalion."

This game marks a significant milestone in my journey, and I'm reaching out to you, my incredible community, for a moment of reflection and input. The finish line is on the horizon, and I'm contemplating the idea of releasing "Pygmalion" into the world.

"Pygmalion" isn't just a game; it's a culmination of passion, creativity, and countless hours of dedication. This project holds immense potential, and I believe it to be my best work to date.

Now, as I stand at this crossroads, I'm seeking your valuable affirmation and feedback. Should I take this leap of faith and share "Pygmalion" with you all? Your insights matter, and your encouragement means the world to me.

I've invested not only time but a piece of myself into this creation. "Pygmalion" has the potential to be something special, and I want you to be a part of its journey. Your support, whether motivational or financial, can make a significant impact and help bring this project to its full potential.
