Game Developing

Lately I've been developing my own PC RPG game so I haven't really been playing any games much. Creating your own game takes a lot of time, and surprisingly exhausting. Making the website has been fun though

 

Solo developers have an excruciatingly high probability of burn-out because there is an overwhelming amount of work building a game vs building a roleplay. If a developer is on their own, there's really little there to encourage them forwards, and the to-do list tends to become longer and longer instead of shorter and shorter.

Tips:
- figure out how early you can feasibly release the game and aim to do that, back-burnering the rest for future updates
- if the game isn't fully featured, tell people clearly, don't give false representations in hopes of karma
- find people to encourage you
- play your own game - preferably with people
- backup your work; preferrably use a backup system you can use and understand competently
- use good commenting and good programming design - it's worth it later, trust me

Good luck, brave adventurer!
