How Do You Usually Plan A Game Dev Project? #Devruary First, I dump ideas into a paper notebook like a game dev from the stone age. Then I tame the chaos using draw.io, Hack'n'Plan, and Notion. This pipeline works pretty well for me!

What’s the biggest dev mistake you’ve made? #Devruary Not leaving doomed projects sooner, skipping version control early on, and... GetComponent() in Update(). I wasn't born a coding genius, okay?? And I guess we've all been there, right?? ...RIGHT??

Which game dev inspires you most? #Devruary

Scott Cawthon. The man took a simple mechanic and iconic characters and created a CULTURAL PHENOMENON.

Don't agree with everything he stands for, but his creativity as a dev is undeniable.

@ElPichon 's Chunky JUMP! is a survival-horror platformer where you must survive through the night on your BIRD BOY.

But beware... the Ghabbit is hunting and you must restore power before it's too late!

What advice would you give a new dev? #Devruary START. SMALL.

I'm talking Flappy Bird, Brick Breaker, Pong level small.

Trying to make GTA 20 as your first project? That's a one-way ticket to burnout town. Walk before you run.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

How do you deal with burnout? #Devruary

Honestly? I just... step away. Stop coding.

The irony is that as a game dev, I rarely have time to actually PLAY games anymore. So when burnout hits, I try to play games that are nothing like what I'm developing.

Never before in my life did I think I would see this message. Damn, I didn't even know it existed. And this is a 2TB SSD we're talking about. I'm so screwed. #Unity #GameDev #IndieDev

@MidnightForge is a Jolter to Watch and the solo horror dev behind games like Those Who Dwell and Nowhere! Follow @MidnightForge and the Those Who Dwell game page before the quest ends on March 17 and you'll get Coins!

What feature almost broke your game? #Devruary Hack'n'slash combat system. College project. Peak overconfidence meets peak inexperience.

The feature died so the game could live (barely). Lesson learned: scope management is a SKILL.
