I'm way late to the discussion, but I wanted to say you did an amazing job. I really wish Lucusarts, or I guess Disney now, would pay you to make the other chapters and The Fold. I'd buy it if they put it up on Steam. I also wanted to point out that Loom wasn't a very long game and the amount of content you created could almost count as a full squeal on it's own.
I know you're not planning on finishing the journey, but thanks for going as far as you did. I almost want to ask for your notes, source code, and artwork so I could try to complete the game. The problem is that I know I wouldn't be able to come close to meeting the quality standard you've set.
