Quality and depression


I wasn’t able to concentrate and work on the game yesterday. But I spent some time having a look at some of the other contestant’s games. It’s amazing how advanced they are after just 2, 3 or 4 days. My hat’s off to all of you!

It also makes me doubt if my own game is even allowed to compete with such high quality. There are complex 3D, physics-driven games in the making, and I come up with something so simple?

Today I decided to not compete with others, but with myself. It doesn’t matter if my game doesn’t match the quality, visually or gameplay-wise, as long as I can finish it to a point where it’s at least playable. I’ll take it as a chance to learn how to deal with narrow time frames and producing the best compromise between quality and time based restrictions.

If these experiences keep coming, I’ll definitively join more of those contests from now on.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
