Good post Erkka and some beautiful pictures to go with it! A life without some sort of risk or gamble is a boring life in my mind. Who wants to be the one who always does what is safe and wonders what could have been if only they took that chance previously in their life? Not to say you should go start juggling chainsaws or gamble all your money away at the poker table! I think the satisfaction and sense of freedom that comes with forging your own path so to speak, much like skiing on fresh snow according to you, makes whatever endeavor you set out to do that much sweeter. Pre-laid paths may be easier but the untouched areas are prettier. ;)

Unfortunately, in our modern society, the bills still need to be paid so I can see why more people don't like to take these kind of slow gambles with their livelihoods. Also, I can understand why you would be hesitant to speak about your financial situation as it seems like there's always some "armchair expert" out there who thinks they know what's best for you or tell you how to live your life. I am hoping that you find financial success from Ancient Savo so you can keep on making more indie games and great blog posts!
