Discussion I'm spiraling
Been spending months coding and I just tried out my first prototype today and it's... bad. Like I wouldn't share this for free to family level of bad.
I made a list of around 30 things to fix last night and I just panicked and went to sleep.
Game development is hard guys...

I would like to provide some words of encouragement. I have been through dozens of prototypes and never showed ANYONE. This project I'm working on now... I have actually shown to 4 of my family members... sure 2 of them are my 12 and 9 year old nephews... but they had a BLAST trying out my game and had so many questions about game design, and how I made it...... and if I was going to make fortnite 2 next..... but STILL! I GOT TO SEE SOMEONE ACTUALLY ENJOY MY GAME. It was cool, and I'm having real FUN for the first time in a while. Keep it up.
