I hope I'm not too late to jump into the discussion but I only just now ran across the thread on the western massive. I am very much looking forward to checking out this game Vincent, its sounds cool and I agree with the notion of killing darlings and have been on a quest to simplify things without sacrificing game play with my game.
I would also say that at least with respect to me I like blunt comments and harsh criticism because I don't feel I can really improve without them. I also agree with you about the game being at 95% and have debated back and forth about whether its worth tearing it down to get it beyond that or whether this is the time to stop and move this onto publishing and leave the improvements for the next game.
On another note, I have been contacting printers in the US and in China and have found one in china that is willing to print small runs at a reasonable price. They are willing to print 500 copies of my game at $8 per box or 1000 copies at $5.59 per box (the best US offer I've gotten is 1000 for $14 per box). If you're interested in more info or if you know of any printers worth contacting (I believe you mentioned talking with someone at AEG?) please let me know.
