As an artist, invariably at some point you're gonna make something that's crap. I'm just beating future me to the punch.

Thanks for the kind words. So long as polish doesn't manifest into a paralytic perfectionism, more effort, soul, love, and attention are definitely things I wish were in more games as well. But the flip side is that it makes the few games that have it shine more.

Glad I could help. I'm looking forward to seeing what you make.

Invariably we will change, and inspirations too will general flit and manifest differently as we shape and grow. The projects I started years ago will be changed by the person I am now, and their original intentions obscured, forgotten, or just not as emotionally accessible. Do what moves you now.

Very difficult question. As someone doing the latter, after six years I wish I'd done the former, but I think that retrospect goes both ways regardless of route. More importantly, inspiration is fickle, tempermental, and elusive. I believe it more important to seize and act on that while it appears.

Workin' on v1.2.7, I've remade v1.0 of the game, putting it in an arcade machine in the city, allowing the player to experience the original game, and earn money doing so. Afterwards I show the new shop, where the player can buy keys that they can use to unlock any level. #gamedev #indiedev

Lately I've been leaving more room for the 'play' aspect of game development. That things don't need to have some 'aim' or 'point,' they can just exist and breathe like the rest. Creating without justification is the thing I'm working on cultivating more. #gamedev #indiedev #jumpoffthebridge

When the dolphin spawnrate is set too high.
