@halfondarr @Brazlo @memoryfloater Thanks @halfondarr! 💜

Our game dev journey only started one month ago, so we've not had time to learn that much yet! 😆

- Being wrong is okay. Having to iterate is okay.
- Accepting feedback and using references is a MUST.

[Justin @ Brazlo @Brazlo]

@Gamerrorist @DrKuchoGames @RisinGoat @MikiMortis @FlyingBeastLabs @xeleh @MardanPrado @yawxy Kis?

@JaviCepa @CZAzuaga @xeleh @DrKuchoGames @RisinGoat @MikiMortis @FlyingBeastLabs @Gamerrorist @ThomasPasieka @SylphArcade @Baxayaun @RicoAlbe Could you explain?

100 levels? Features?

@dreamy_robot @octomini @of_imperfect @ChocPinecone @coldi @bitsandfoxes @apico_game @Kiwi_Comet @MrBregoS @StelloHexis @PuddleheadC @bluegoogames @crazyoysterdevs Ohh, splitting them up onto 2 lists is a great idea! 👏

I always just jumbled them together 😳😳

[Justin @ Brazlo @Brazlo]

@GabrielHinton Ahh, thanks for clarifying and sharing 😃

[Justin @ Brazlo @Brazlo]

@xeleh @DrKuchoGames @RisinGoat @MikiMortis @FlyingBeastLabs @Gamerrorist @ThomasPasieka @CZAzuaga Don't?

Start? Hydrate? Wait?

[Justin @ Brazlo @Brazlo]

@RisinGoat @MikiMortis @FlyingBeastLabs @DrKuchoGames 😂 good advice 😃

[Justin @ Brazlo @Brazlo]

@dreamy_robot @octomini @of_imperfect @ChocPinecone @coldi @bitsandfoxes @apico_game @Kiwi_Comet @MrBregoS @StelloHexis @PuddleheadC @bluegoogames @crazyoysterdevs How detailed do you make your to-do lists?

Broad? Narrow? By priority?

Any examples tools that you use?
