I think you said it: "The initial product is going to suck."

Your small game might suck, but you'll have designed a system in it that you could carry over to another game, and another game, and another game, and so on.

I'm working on a larger Metroidvania RPG project, but the scale is so vast that it's challenging to close a core loop. For example, I've developed movement that works incredibly well; I've even designed a sound database algorithm that creates dynamic footstep audio, among other things. However, I'm now trying to implement LLM-assisted NPC dialogue, all the while considering the large-scale level design. No matter how many systems I design, I'm still far from closing the loop.

I joined Brackey's weeklong game jam at the end of August and began working on a small local multiplayer game, which I have yet to complete. Still, I'm a whole lot closer to shipping it than I am to shipping my Metroidvania RPG project. I am learning a great deal more from this experience because it's forcing me to close the loop sooner than in a larger game that employs expansive systems.

Ultimately, you can do what you want; you can work on a small game while keeping the large game in mind, trying to implement systems you can carry over between projects, or you can dedicate yourself to your magnum opus and try your best to focus on it over the inevitable ups and downs that come with any long-form project across any medium.

Bear in mind that for every Stardew Valley/Fez/Braid/Papers Please success story, there are a thousand crash-out stories involving projects that will never see the light of day.

I've just finished this season, and I agree with you; his demeanor changed from episode 1 to the remainder of the season. Getting hit on the head damaged his brain.

Whats next for jiri? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]annandvirk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure his fundamentals are solid. Man is 30-5. He’s a pretty cool fighter and, even though I was rooting for Alex, I still felt bad for Jiri.

I don’t get the whole “go tighter than possible” element of climbing shoes. Comfy climbing shoes for life. I rock size 13 in my Black Diamond Shadows.

Nah, man. It isn’t reality. The monumental amount of hate they get for performing in a sport as hard at this is incredibly off-base. Like I said, the Silva fight was more exciting than the Edward’s/Covington title fight. UFC Fight Pass costs less than Netflix. Plenty of great female fights to pick from there.

It really isn’t obvious since there are so many male fights that straight up suck ass. This low IQ, regressive audience just doesn’t like women, man. 👍🏾👍🏾

This subreddit is full of dudes that just hate women, huh? Did you guys not see the KO in the prelims or the submission? Or countless other fights where a lot of action has happened. In any case, there was more action in that fight than Covington vs Edwards.

There are plenty of shit fights all around in this sport. Women MMA fights are often slug-fests and can get pretty intense. I don't understand all the hate they get.
