Fith Sun: Ashes to Ashes

Socrates was a criminal. Thales was an aviator. I am a priest.
Fifth Sun is born, buried, and here memorialized. Perhaps we should reflect upon why it lies so still before us.

Initially, I imagined it as a twin-stick, like Binding of Isaac. When I deferred on the control scheme, it was with the understanding that the game was still the same, but with the users hands in a slightly different place. This, truly, is the folly. There is no negotiation on vision- merely scope. And this I knew, yet my own fear of hubris kept me from fulfilling my office.
  
The powers, too, were compromised, but more as a product of uncertainty of ability. I believe this was inevitable, but only once.

There are several other issues, but more than anything else, when I am Product Owner, my will be done, and my game be made. I need to remember the one golden rule: "Fuck with my game, I spank you."
