Hey folks!

Last representative gif of the project.

First, sorry for the bad english T_T.

Here is a quick not-post-mortem about my sliding tactical project built during this #Devtober.

"Not" because I really like the direction the project take, and I won't abandon it, I really want it to make it as a full real game (small or big, it's another question). So we can't talk about "mortem" here :D.

Anyway, it has been a really good experience, with its pros and cons :

Pros :

• It was super interesting to have a personal project for my own, and really liked to be back to (almost) pure game design.
• "Forcing" me to work everyday was great too. It helps to carry on regardless the annoying usual tasks of the beginning of a project, things that it tends to make me give up on projects sometimes. I learned that the most difficult for me, was to "start" working. Once the engine is on, it's reaaaaaaally easier to keep working on something :). So, the momentum is more important for me than the "I need to work X hours on this today".
• Contrary at the other game jams I've done, drawing was a real pleasure this time! Maybe because I have the sensation I progressed on pixel art?

Cons :

• On the other hand, I have the sensation I did only this during the all time, and it gives me some frustration of not having time for anything else (chilling, playing, spending some times with Ms Tipyx...),

So I'm a little split between the "forcing" part of this experience, that is really good, and the frustration of not having enough spare time. That's why I stopped this #Devtober almost one week before the end, I really need some times to take a breather.

What next ? Well, as I said, I really need to continue this game, so to conclude of the previous reflections, I think I won't work on it every day, but I'll established weekly (or bi weekly, or monthly, I don't know yet) milestones, with real goals to achieve on every step.

Thanks for reading this. Don't hesitate to follow me if you want to see the progress of the game (or else!) and to contact me on Twitter if you have any questions/feedbacks/any request :).
