I'll look into putting it on Steam, not sure when since it's a bunch of legal and otherwise new stuff to look into. Its pretty surprising to see multiple people asking about Steam already, but I guess something does feel right about owning a game on Steam lol. Achievements would be awesome too for whenever I have figured out what Wender is going to exactly look like when it's done.
Regarding monetizing I'm not really sure yet at all, I'd want to make the game available to everyone for free, but if there's enough interest and I can figure out a good way for people to throw me a few bucks if they want to so I could work on Wender fulltime I wouldn't say no either!
Also means a lot you've decided to leave your first comment here just to make this point, after all that time on itchio!
