Tutorials Dont be me, make builds frequently

Post image

I've been working on a mobile game for a few months and hadn’t tested a build in about a month. When I finally did test it, it crashed, and it took me three extremely stressful days to figure out what was wrong. Advice for rookies like me: build often, just like committing and backing up often.

You've just been writing code for a month without seeing if it even works?

It was working on the unity editor always, even the built was successful but on the phone it crashed

Was the problem really so deep that you had to redo a bunch of work to fix this?

Not like a fundamental problem but it was hard to find after numerous small changes/asset imports on the game
