I got some pretty good feedback on the game itself, and I'm sure I'll factor those in to a future project. I probably won't update lost little island - but I do want to reuse the mechanics for a bigger, more ambitious project and the reviews I got here will definitely help make that the best that it can be!
My biggest takeaway from gm48 as a first time entrant is that the voting system is better setup to reward teams than individuals (unlike, say, the GMC Jam). Not being able to create my own audio for the game hit my final score quite hard, next time I'll have to buddy up and see what happens!
