No, unfortunately I don't know much in that area either!

No, you understood me! What about 10k? πŸ˜‚

Don't have any good tips but I think you should definitely add more units

This has honestly worked out very well. I've had a lot of progress done, especially on some less-than-fun things I have previously put off.

My game might be completed by the deadline after all!

Been working on improving the onboarding for my game based on playtests I have had.

I also had the pleasure to do that some month ago. It's a cool but bizarre feeling.

Not sure. Glarbo? Pickle Joe? McSchmeef?

Opened my game project and instead of working on anything I zoned out and painted this instead🀠

Realized if you have a lot of paintings in my game the previous way to traverse them in sequence wasn't ideal. New grid view menu!

Great video! Despite knowing how important they are I've been kind of neglecting playtests. I did at least have one with my brother the other week.

My biggest problem is to find people to help playtest. Some good tips for that in the video though!

We're always happy to have more contributors! It doesn't have to be development either!

In the story mode there are couple of 3D characters that serve as your reference but there will also be an option to import your own pictures😊
