Greg Wohlwend addressed some of the TumbleSeed criticisms on Twitter and spoke about the future.
He talked about TumbleSeed and how some streamers and journalists have dropped playing TumbleSeed due to the difficulty. While this is the best thing he has worked on, they will be trying to make it more approachable in a new mode or something while allowing people who love it now to play as it is. This will hopefully get more people talking about it and playing it. He also says the response has ben tepid for it. You can read my review of it here. I really liked it but have had trouble getting people to play it for more than a few runs thanks to the same difficulty issue. Here are some of the Tweets:
We know how the current version of the game comes off when played in a review setting. i.e. 5-10 hours of play.

Most likely you'll play it, decide it's too difficult, and be done with the game. We're working on fixing that.

Our changes probably won't "save the game", but we hope to give anyone that wanders into our game a fighting chance at enjoying it.

So many players have bounced off our game, especially influential press and streamers who seemed to genuinely enjoy the game at the outset.

We know that's our fault, at least in part, and we are trying to find out if there's anything we can add to fix it.

Anyway, I have many thoughts on this that require more than tweets, but for now I just wanted to give a bit of an update on where we are.
