Ever sat down to create something, only to discover that your brilliant ideas clash with time constraints and tech hiccups? Welcome to game development! I recently wrapped up my latest project, "Demon Army: Soul Collector," and boy, what a rollercoaster. I loved the creative chaos of blending dark humor with soul-harvesting demons, but not everything went as planned. From AI controls that seemed more confused than my cat during a thunderstorm to discovering some unexpected player complaints, it was a wild ride. The truth is, every misstep was a lesson in disguise. What’s a lesson you’ve learned the hard way in your own projects? Let’s swap stories! #GameDev #IndieDev #Postmortem #LessonsLearned #DemonArmy

Ever thought about taking a "short hike" in game design? Well, buckle up! 🎮 In a recent postmortem, Adam Robinson-Yu reveals how to make an open world feel like a pocket-sized adventure.

Sure, I could follow the instructions, but let’s be real—why not just wing it and create a modern art piece instead? You might not become the next game design prodigy overnight, but who doesn’t love a clever hack? Let’s embrace the chaos and see where our unique paths lead us!
