Its definitely a hard thing for most indie devs to do on their own. Its a totally separate skillset that most of us don't have but can definitely be learned.
I took one camping with mixed results. Seemed to wrok decently if there was no wind, but even a slight breeze meant that it was getting blown away from us.
Thats not that surprising, all games go through this stage of development where you're using basic assets just so you have something to look at while you're iterating gameplay
And if you think people should just be allowed to make decisions that negatively affect the world without them having any consequences for it, you're missing the point.
I'm also processing what you just said, give me a second to respond, everytime you say the thing again you reset my brain and I have to start over.
