Amazing. I cannot wait to see what y'all do next with this.
I Would most definitely pay 39.99-49.99 USD for a sandbox game similar to "Powder Game" but in 3D.
Also this game should have a sandbox feature, pyroclastic flows, explosivity index explosions. But I believe in you guys.

I really wish there was a proper sandbox mode with more freedom in eruption customization, but even in its current state this is easily some of the best volcano software available for home computers.
