Submitter here Jon,
Firstly - I must apologize for submitting as 'Fuze BASIC' - indeed my confusion was from your previous product; I did not realize that 'FUZE4' was actually a new name and just thought it was a clever way of saying 'FUZE BASIC for Nintendo Switch'. EDIT: Mods, could you change the title if possible? I can't edit it myself.
Everything else you've said - I 99% agree! (I think we could have an interesting discussion around "every "coding for children thing" is fake"). I started out on the Commodore 64, reading the books and typing in the program listings; I'm thrilled that you've made something like FUZE4 and think it's a wonderful fit for the Nintendo Switch. Lots of people own this console and now they too can have the 'coding out in the living room on the TV' experience that I (and I'm sure many others here) had growing up. I also think having the tutorial material built-in is great; I have fond memories of spending evenings immersed in the comprehensive QBASIC help documentation, way before the days of the Internet and a thousand distractions.
I'm glad to hear that you've submitted a patch to fix many of the bugs - that comment was the only one that gave me pause with regards to purchasing FUZE4 right away. With that out of the way, I'm really looking forward to diving in!
One final note - I think the Nintendo Switch eShop stands out as a platform that hasn't raced to the bottom when it comes to the pricing of games. I hope it stays that way.
