True, there is a limit to the analysis where you have to just go make the dang game. Thanks for sharing :)

100%, a lot of the jira-like tools that we learn from our jobs are very useless for small teams. At best they are a way to organize the work of a large team and at worst they are a tool to mico-manage employees.

@@Aarimous That's totally spot on! Some of the tools, like Trello, are nice if you're trying to manage multiple projects all at the same time, but at the end of the day it's still a to-do list that doesn't need all kinds of metrics for a manager to say if you're being productive or not

@@Aarimous Jira doesn't work so well for larger teams either. It's a bit old school with all of its list structures and the comments system. A lot of companies work with it, but it could be a lot better and effective. In terms of some prioritizing and documenting some history of development, it is fine. But it's pretty time intensive to keep it super up to date and easy to get lost in micro-management indeed. To be honest, as a one-man developer myself I would never waste my time with putting too much into any of the note taking software. No need for even Trello, Notion or any other app really. In the end, all you need is a very small list. It's better to keep that extremely lean and mean. The reason is because you'll end up wasting a lot of time writing things down vs building stuff to try and scrape. Having said that, most one-person companies have to do some sort of hour registration for the tax department, so you _could_ technically combine stuff in just a scheduler of sorts.

Glad to hear we are of a similar mindset!

Always nice to met a fellow Minnesotan! Safe travels out there today!

Thank you! I am also excited to see if I can thread the needle of a minimalistic roguelike village builder.

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!

But it isn't even rogue like. Where's the enemy on three adjacent tiles having you strategize strike order before the wizard petrifies you. Go watch fatal labyrinth, that is rogue, in 2d

@Qewbicle I don't even know you

Huh. You talked on an open chat. That's such a weird response.

@Qewbicle I felt your answer were a non sequitur to my post, hence a random answer because how do l answer something that had little to do with my post 🤔 💭

It's obvious. You put yourself in the camp that you agreed with it being like rogue when you didn't disagree. You mentioning rogue put you in specifics. I'm concerned creator will miscategorize and not get the traction they deserve. I offered a disagreement, and a resource, to get others thinking. I presume, that not only you, would see it, so it's not targeted. But a thread is like a category, so I filed it there. I then have to decide which thread would be seen. You don't have to respond. It's put out in the world following an order for the next guy to see.

You gotta link for the policy?

@@Aarimous Sure, if you go to the partner site - Apps & Packages > Discount Management ; it has a red banner warning. I'm sure they used to put it on e-mails too, but I'll admit that isn't mentioned on my latest ones.

I'll edit that part out with YT tools since I'd rather be safe than sorry and it's not that important of a part for the video. Thanks helping me :) I am leaving the Next Fest part since that is all public info.

@@Aarimous I genuinely don't know tho It could be fair game Depends if the dates are posted elsewhere

Math do be hard, thanks for checking it for me ;)

haha, yeah the funny thing is that might be the one thing I've done on KZbin that has gotten me the most comments. Cheers!
