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??

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.

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!

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 does success look like for your current project? #Devruary Success is the friends we made along the way.

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.

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

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.
