How I usually plan a game dev project by study tends of what the audience like about a game or dislike for improvement. Then apply them in the GDD to list the mechanic, difficulty and levels before adding the aesthetic as part of the gameplay.

When it comes to my least favorite part of game dev is testing alone. While solo testing have its benefits, but it can be a painful. Overlooking hidden bugs after solving others does creep up when you least expected when launching your game.
#GJAsks what game that I have spending the most time playing lately is RC Pro Am for NES. It's very addicted and challenging racing game that not only competing to win but collecting letters that spell NINTENDO to change a different car is replayable.
My favorite part of game dev is the coding. While art is my strongest asset, however coding in unity has been an interesting journey for me. Learning new occupation about coding to create action or setting the rules has been beneficial.

1The game engine that I am currently using is unity. Its user friendly for first timer like myself to code games effectively and easy.
The bad dev habit I quit doing was compared to other game dev. Self-doubt can play at times when you encounter experience game dev. But what I learned be yourself and don't compare to other game dev but learn from them to be a better dev.
11What dev habit helps me the most is listening to music while I work. Sometimes a little distraction helps the mind at ease when facing touch roadblocks. As an artist, music at times helps me bring out creativity and ideas of what a game is.

1What keeps me making games when it gets tough is not focusing on how, but the why it's important to you as a game dev. At times, I distance myself to get inspiration to create a scenario for an idea game. If love is still there, pursue it.

There are many games which inspired me to make my own games. The biggest inspiration is Contra Hardcorps.
My very first game is tower defense game made with BASIC.
No, not that tower defense, it's just a simple shooting game.
