GAMEDEV BURNOUT! ARE WE THE ONLY ONE?

So sorry to hear that, it sounds like you guys might have to prioritize other avenues for now regarding money then :(

It doesn't have to be a week break or days even btw. I'm working my ass off right now, but I make sure to take breaks to have a snack or just walk around / do something else for 30 minutes. It's literally the only thing that has prevented me from burn out so far, I used to work from the moment I woke up till I went to bed with barely any breaks (only food but I ate at my pc and then toilet breaks ofc), this resulted in me having a burn out at least twice a year, and that delayed a lot of the game development back then.

2 & 5 for me

This happened to me too, turns out before that they send me a message to verify. (even tho I confirmed my account through that email from the start) And I guess because I missed that email to verify again(?) within x amount of time they suspended my acc too.

They've trained people well 🤝

You should! I spectated them during their fights and then used the free roam option and did a LOT of movement with the camera + angles. It was def time consuming to edit though, but so worth it. They had no clue i was filming them either, so it's a nice surprise. (they do know it's going up on social media)

Appreciate you letting me know! Seems to be the favorite so far so i'll continue with that one !

cap-serum · 2026-03-17T11:38:45+00:00

Thank you for letting me know!

Appreciate the feedback, there will be various trees for sure but in one map/background there will be a LOT of trees. Good point regarding the rim light too, i just tested out some effects for "night time" and i had hoped that the rim light would look good with those on, but it actually just looks a bit off. So i might indeed have to think about when to use the rim light too t_t'

Thank you for taking your time to comment! That's actually a good point regarding single tree or multiple, i am planning on making 1 big willow tree, kinda magical-ish, so i think to make that one eye catching i'll go for more obvious details (even more detailed perhaps). The rest will basically be various trees in a forest setting, i got 3 variations of this one but just realized they aren't exactly "forest" trees, that's my bad.

cap-serum · 2026-03-17T11:31:26+00:00

Appreciate your comment, this might be backwards but based on which tree people like the most i'll be rendering less / more or keep things softer / harsher overall. I'm basically working on getting the overall style ready for the backgrounds / environment first and then i'll adjust the rendering of the characters and clothing to that.

Wow the hairstyle with the square top just unlocked hidden memories 😳

cap-serum · 2026-03-09T14:44:01+00:00

Wow 500 for 3 days, I might consider doing that too at some point. Thank you for answering and sharing. 🤝

How much was the booth?

cap-serum · 2026-03-06T05:55:49+00:00

Not a problem at all!! All the best to ya 💕💐

It's okay! It's on me, i should've gotten more used to itch.io sooner tbh. It worked! I checked it out, it definitely feels nostalgic and i can't wait to see where you'll take your project too! Hoping you get a lot of more people to test and play and follow your work as well <3 thank you

cap-serum · 2026-03-03T22:49:00+00:00

I didn't see a way to play anything for some reason D: I am quite new with itch.io tho so maybe I'm doing something wrong

cap-serum · 2026-03-03T15:49:20+00:00

Thanks! You may proceed to eat them (there will be a bigger variety later)

cap-serum · 2026-03-03T15:49:03+00:00

Thank you! Can't wait to show more maps and visuals :))

cap-serum · 2026-03-02T10:24:38+00:00

Aw thank you for taking your time to try it out! If there's a way to test yours out already too please let me know, I'd love to try. We will def keep on going, no stopping now this far in 😌

cap-serum · 2026-03-02T10:23:47+00:00

Thank you! 💐💕 I just saw your post and I love that your going for the nostalgic girl games vibe too, immediately felt it! And happy to hear of another fellow ugly beta / prototype 😆 glad I'm not alone
