I Don't Know What I'm Doing

The game is too hard. I can't beat my own levels. It's not fun yet — I play it and feel nothing.

All the art is AI. Every sprite, every background. I can't draw so I type prompts and hope. There's no consistent style. I keep calling it placeholder but the placeholder is the game.

I've listened to the same music loops hundreds of times. I hear them in my sleep. I can't tell if the tracks are decent anymore. I've lost all objectivity.

I'm not a game designer. I'm not an artist. I'm not a musician. I'm a guy with Unity open and too much stubbornness to quit. Every decision is a guess. I just try things and see if they feel less bad than before.

I decreased Bork's fire rate even more and slowed down Yooba's too. Gave Bork more health. Now you can actually see the fireball coming and react to it instead of just getting hit. And because he takes longer to kill, it feels like you're working toward something — like there's actual progress happening instead of just dying and restarting. Now it's no longer hard.. but it still seems boring. Hmmm
