> I used to use Modo, but again, the monthly fee was too high

With Modo they do offer a perpetual license option where you can keep using the last version you paid for.

Thanks for your insights into your process. I agree, DaVinci Resolve is an excellent replacement for Adobe. I got the Speed Controller deal last year, it's nice having the jog/shuttle wheel and buttons.

Deciding what price to set games must be difficult. I'm in Australia, and the price of your cat game is $21.50. Even though that's equivalent to a large pizza and drink, it's steep for an indie puzzle game. I wonder whether a game like this would sell more and profit more if the price were $5 instead of $20.
