I'd thought my PC was fixed yesterday, when I got it back, but it's still broken! So it's brought back for repairs again, hopefully this time it won't take almost a week... Spending all my free time I'd be spending on the PC on my mobile phone instead is really irritating.
I think what we did for the Alpha is just using keys and a main branch, I suppose that works just as well since there's no need to do multiple branches!
Any and all lore questions can be answered with "The Aolmna Did It". Why do Sindrels have their flower brains? Why is Carna like this? Why are the Elarna cute? Who caused the Fracture? Who impregnated Mardek's mom? Why did Mardek have a sloppy make-out session with Deugan and Steele while Emeela was recording it? And who the hell are Mardek and Deugan??
While Minecraft is known superficially for its very pixelated and blocky look, a lot of Minecraft clones (and mods!) go for a more visually complex look that nonetheless apes the same cubical-tile based crafting/mining experience. It looks very clear at the 0:25 and 1:18 marks that despite the look, the world is clearly tile-based in a manner similar to Minecraft.
I think most true solo devs do use the reasoning that they need it to cover living expenses, yes. There probably is a general expectation that even solo devs do some outsourcing, or at least collaborative work, but it's not unheard of for everything to be done by one person either.
