3/9/23

Total Time: 2 hrs, 40 mins 

The progress I have been making these last few days is incredible. I've made a few decisions that have paid off massively:

  • I reduced the scope of the game loop itself drastically
    • 8-mission campaign (bro. lmao) to a single map survival
    • This allowed me to not worry about developing any other maps, just one map that can hopefully be quality.
    • Gave me more time to work on the details of gameplay.
  • I put the game up on a platform
    • Now I have something to look at (analytics), will eventually get feedback, and can start figuring out this aspect of the process
  • I started working mornings and evenings
    • I usually have been putting in about an hour in the morning, then 1 - 2 hours in the evening.
    • Allows me to guaranteed get something on the game done, no matter what happens in the evening.
    • Gives me space to relax and cool off - a productive morning session, and a productive evening session (if I feel like it)
It's goin goooooood! I have so many ideas and I really feel freed up to pursue them now that I've got so much simpler of a game loop.

Here's a cool pic of the loot drop I improved.
