Thank you for the Question, Martin.

Yes, so the Camino… I’m a bit torn on this one… It is, by far, the thing that is apparently associated with “finding yourself” and tons of people I’ve talked with have mentioned it…

From my own point while I like the idea of hiking and reflection I’m not really 100% sold on the specifics of The Camino de Santiago.

The main thing is the historical context of being a pilgrimage, and despite everyone saying it is not a big deal, I find it inappropriate as an Athiest to make a Christian pilgrimage; and if it genuinely doesn’t matter then it truly is just a touristy thing and then why there and not another beautiful place in the world?

That being said, because it is so well established the “infrastructure is in place” it makes it easier to plan and that have it merrits of cause…

So while not 100% decided I’m leaning toward a big hike in the US, Ireland, Scotland, Japan, or another famous hike somewhere in the world (https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/world-best-hiking-trails-cmd) instead, where nature is even more stunning (yes; Camino have beautiful places, but that was never its main thing)

Hi Matthew, thank you for the question.

The idea of mixing TD and ARPG is something other games do already by having Heroes that can walk around in the TD Battlefield and those heroes can have stats and Items. (Examples of this are “Kindom Rush” and “Crazy Kings” (my favorite))… But they always tend to keep that aspect light, and I want to take it further with loot drops on the battlefield so that you can pick up more inventory for the hero, and consumables like potions.

There is nothing revolutionary as such in this… Just a tad more options.

I have other ideas, but those are not as flushed out yet as what is mentioned above, but if you have any cool ideas or visions on how the two genres can be merged feel free to share them here.
