Project BUDS . DevLog 4 . Depression
I knew this would be a leaner update than usual, since I would be focusing on game design/direction whilst starting a smaller project with some of the code from Project BUDS. But other than a few shader experiments, my focus was entirely on the new project.
Project BUDS . DevLog 3 . First Playtest
There’s nothing like seeing a bunch of people play your game for the first time to figure out a bunch of blind-spots that come with knowing your own game too well.
