If it’s your first time developing a game (especially a fan game)

Do not, under any circumstances over-scope your game!!

While it may be fun to try to come up with ideas, don’t get too ambitious with it, treat the game like a cake that you are designing with.

Start off small with a basic one and begin designing off from that, if it’s too big or too ambitious even for you, don’t add it into it.

You’re not trying to make a fancy cake that has alot of details on it and that it can slice open in two by itself, you’re trying to make your own cake with your own abilities.

Ask yourself the following when deicing on adding things to the game

“I’m I adding this to make my game better or is it to make my game bigger?”
