  1. That's definitely the way much VC spending goes; I might be more mellow on it because the VC folk I've met are small scale and actually interested in developing things over the medium term rather than looking for explosive growth. 


  2. The whole 'artist collective' thing is apparently bullshit, though, they've taken VC money and will thus inevitably compromise the usefulness of the service. But yeah, ello.co is not a government enterprise and is thus incapable of repressing free speech nor censoring.

     

    ello.gov, on the other hand...

     

    I don't think there's any problem with artists taking funding; assuming they can build up an audience and develop premium things that people will want to pay for above and beyond the basic service (which I believe is their premium plan?), there's no reason to think they'd have to compromise the service.

     

    That being said, the world is the way the world is so it'll definitely inevitably be compromised and degraded ¯\(°_o)/¯ 


  3. Yeah, I want to see where this game goes! 

    I've gone a few steps ahead, making some changes in my game. Instead of a desert I've made it into a tall building, you've got to hit the stairs and that'll take you up to the next room; and instead of an action roguelike I'm trying to make it into randomly generated maze-like puzzles. I've not yet worked out how to have it certain that the random generation won't make the maze impossible, but I'm sure it's a solvable problem.
