general in Devruary
When dealing with burnout I would take 10-minute break like going outside, exercise or play video games. Majority of the time playing video games or going outside does at time immediately give me idea for a setup game play for the game.
While I was mostly inspiring from the golden era of video games in the 1980s and 1990s. But seeing dev companies like Yacht Club Games and WayForward that are homage of creating retro like games with a modern touch has given me inspiration.

The worst bug so far that I dealt with is the laser beam appearing as a pink mesh after built it to the game in unity. The FX uses material in the particle system while render in URP can be tricky. Update the material seems best.

The feature that almost broken my game was the number of asteroids in the ring. The ring surrounds the earth as it counter rotates the planet. It slowed the performance of the game to which I lower the asteroid count in the ring to work.
The biggest dev mistake I’ve made in the past of not adding a variety of enemies per level. I used the same enemy to increase their attack abilities per level like Tetris or Dr Mario in a 3d arcade fps. But was hurting the game play experience.

The best time that I know when a game is ready to ship based on the game's performance. Fewer bugs at times can be overlook if it doesn't disrupt the performance. But glitches is another problem when many onscreen enemies causes it.
