I considered making a revamp of the characters a requirement before going onto Steam. This would delay at least six months, more likely a year. It's a very challenging topic.
I started working on it once but put it on hold to revamp spacecraft and building designs instead, with the associated new designer. That took about two years.
With funding and time, I could hire people (artists, modelers, programmers) to do a lot of amazing things with SoH. I am only one person. Look at the list of credits for most any other game out there, even the junky little kid stuff. They often have dozens of names on the list.
My gamble is that enough people on Steam will stick with SoH to provide that funding. Then SoH could mature at a faster rate.
