I'm a solo dev. I was the sole provider of my homestead. I spent somewhere between 20k-30k USD over 7 years just in voice acting because I BELIEVED in it. I gave voice actors reasons to believe in my projects and directed some of the best performances in indie games

There's literally no excuse

I still need to do story. I think I haven't progressed since the spook shack squad.

XD

They always have active and open recruitment!

Aye. I feel the Crossbell Arc (Zero and Azure) is a good starting point. Yes it talks about events of Sky but it's nice cuz it's focused on a small city state sandwiched between two Continental superpowers. So you get a feel for the people in the city and your team.

But yeah. It's one of those. "Ooo, you should try this series! Just be prepared to do double digit hours per game for like 13 games!" XD

I'm just now playing the Trails in the Sky Remake! I never did the original three. Got started on Zero and fell in love... So then I beat Cold Steel I through IV, Reverie, Azure, and both Daybreak's!

So now I get to see how the adventure began all the way in FC and maybe SC
