minus-squarech0ccyra1n :she_her:linkfedilink2•11 months ago@Ategon When you think your game’s scope is small, it isn’t. Keep scoping as tiny as possible so you could finish your game in a week or two
minus-squarech0ccyra1n :she_her:linkfedilink6•11 months ago@bikesarethefuture That I’ll actually finish it
minus-square@bikesarethefuturelink1•11 months agoMakes sense, let’s say you finish two or three, then maybe it’s a good idea to make a bigger one?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•11 months agoIf you start small and finish something, then you can always expand it out. If you start big, you might never finish something substantive and end up giving up without a project to show for it
minus-square@bikesarethefuturelink1•11 months agoYes I love that approach , expand once you have a finished product
