It does ensure I do a lesson every day though, which was really good for building a habit early on.
Though I've mostly moved onto a new app now anyway so perhaps it is time to dump this one.

This is an incredible effort, I'm sure I speak for other dev's at the show when I say thank you both (and all the other journalists who covered the show) so much for your hard work and dedication to covering the local indie scene!

It also allowed me to drop the time limit to a more reasonable 15 minutes (down from 20, which I was never comfortable with), and players have still made the same amount of progress by the time it times out.

The booth is actually in a really good spot pointing at the main entrance. I don't think I'll have any trouble attracting attention, I'm actually more concerned I might be too busy at times as the demo is a big longer than normal, but I'll have my Steam Deck as a backup third playable station.
