I think your spreadsheet is brilliant, I love how you’ve translated game dev into pages and chapters, its a really refreshing take on project management

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@JesseDoherty]

I really like the black background on the spreadsheets, it really makes everything pop! I might just have to start doing that myself, thanks

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Glad you found it helpful!!

I think its always interesting the different ways that people manage tasks, writing, and just the overall way they portray everything. You definitely have an interesting medium, especially with the type writer. Great video, good luck.

Are you a Nanowrimo-er turned game dev? This spreadsheet is so cute. I'll have to try something like it!

[@PastelPixelsDev]

I am! I've never won Nano, but I've written drafts of a novel and several novellas separately 😊

4x10hr work week... is your primary job by chance in healthcare? Just wondering because I am in that boat, but for me it makes independent game development a bit *more* difficult due to being extra tired more often than not. :P

[@PastelPixelsDev]

I work in web dev, but I have a pretty relaxed workplace, so I'm allowed to be pretty flexible with my hours. I definitely get what you mean with being extra tired though. Pretty much all of my game dev gets done on the weekends 😅
