4:29 This has been my life for too long. I finished a project in 2017 which was way too big for me to handle/sustain. I ended up delisting it from Steam. Haven't released anything since then. I want it to be perfect, which is hard, so I 'scoped down'. And now I'm trying to work on a bit of experimental stuff that helps me in learning, knowing it won't release. Even just a simple editor/tool for a game is now a learning project for me that I take time for. The hardest part for me is a small fun idea that hasn't been done yet. I've been playing around with making games since Game Maker 6, finishing projects will probably forever be a problem for me, but I'm slowly breaking the pattern of 'everytime'. It's tough, but I still enjoy writing code and designing stuff. The fact that after all those years I'm still enjoying it, it's something that fits me, I just gotta break that bad habit.
This is such a fantastic approach to making a game. This is exactly how I would start a new project in a perfect world. Congrats and I hope you finish this. Rooting for you.
i love what you have here. you should be able to pick and buy different kinds of ships. or hell, upgrade your ship! add decks and equipment. make a stellar cartography skill. watch the life aquatic for more inspiration on the ship designs and looks. i really like this!!!! great joB!!!!!!!
I'm bummed I have been so busy and not able to catch your streams as you worked on this because it looks like such a fun project. I'm excited to give it a playthrough in the future.
Been waiting for this video !! I joined the community recently and I'm really happy to see how this all started Can't wait to see more Keep up the great work Ezra :)
Haha yea basically there's a huge overlap, and I think the main difference I'm trying to take is in focus of characters and story of the world instead of the roguelike aspect!
Great video! Best of luck! I am a composer, trying to get more into video game music, so let me know if you would ever like to collaborate on a project sometime. Maybe we could help each other out. I look forward to seeing more!

Haha yea... it's all too common a story by now. I believe in us! I hope for all indie devs out there a great success and fulfilment!
