I need to get started on this for my game. It will probably be much simpler, but that's why I should get started now!
Just market your game as "retro hard" and you can get away with anything. /s
Wait, how did you know!?
Jokes aside, it sort of is? I'm going for a Smash Melee physics movement meets Revita map design, so retro hard isn't really too far off!
Yeah or don't make it
That's true, it could be procrastinative instead of actually working on the things that should be done...
I think it would come down to when and how I work on it, I can't really spend 5-15 minutes on various downtimes learning coding or doing the art, but I could probably whip up an interaction chart and add to it with that short amount of time
Why force yourself to start something big and complicated? Just enjoy your life lol and do stuff that comes to you and feels right. Maybe that's a game, but no need to force it.
Oh it does :) it's a passion project that gives me some opportunities to make music and sound effects (something I like to do but don't always record and save my work), and similarly I love making art but having a strong vision for what I want to make can get difficult.
But I have a really strong vision for the game in its entirety, which helps with the direction for my art and music :) I just need to build the pieces (obviously, easier said than done!) and so far it's been enjoyable. Difficult, but understandable.
Basically, I save so many notes and other junk, but I rarely save my creative endeavors. This will be a good way for me to not only reach that goal, but to also create a game that is somewhat unique and that would be really fun to play :D
