EARLY ACCESS: Watch THIS before making your first game (expectations)
🕑 Added 2024-02-03 21:22:02 +0000 UTCIn this video, we dive into the immense pressure and stress that often accompany the gamedev journey, shedding light on why many individuals never start on this creative path or why they may ultimately even abandon it.
We identify three major categories of expectations that can lead to burnout: unrealistic timeframes, attempting to manage every aspect of game development alone, and expecting everyone to like the final product.
Drawing on personal experience trying to finish a commercial project, we share our strategies that work for us to make the journey more sustainable and enjoyable while navigating the challenges of expectations, burnout, and stress.

congrats man, that's huge! btw I haven't forgotten about your game feedback idea, just not sure when we'll make time for it yet. But if you would find it helpful I'm more than happy to give you some feedback on your game beforehand, just let me know!

Forgetting about time and accomplishments is great advice. I am going to be demoing my game at a convention in April and have been panicking lately. I feel like there have been times I have just wasted the day and not having any fun dreading what I don't have finished for the demo.....
