It’s interesting to see how much time I spent doing other things, or preparing to work. Like that weird blue/red drawing I made was an idea for oranebeasts game that no one can understand.
Early feedback
I’m glad I got some early feedback about planets being offscreen/textures. Some people on irc were nice and played an alpha with only 3 planets and no lives.
Initially I put in the reload button to alleviate this but clearly it didn’t work! So now they jump around until they are happy (not blocked/offscreen). Adding more planets and alleviating brute forcing came up as feedback too, although both were planned to be addressed.
Audio
You can also see me make the audio at 3min ish in the timelapse. Is it so bad it’s good?
Streaming
Helps to keep me focused, and IRC keeps me unfocused – but gives motivation. Even though I had an average view count of about 1 it’s worth it. At the end when I started streaming other peoples games it went up though, yay. It’s kind of interesting to watch the number in the timelapse and relate it to humans physically sitting down watching or leaving.
