the demoralizing part is that it takes an hour to make 10 seconds worth of platforming

an hour of your life is a lot but it's a sacrifice we're willing to make :P

I’d absolutely play those 10 seconds.

The remolarizing part can be that those 10 seconds can be played by hundreds of people which should make their combined playtime up for that hour :)

Ask a stop motion creator about that stuff. Crazy right, or old school drawing cells by hand to create film. I'm in awe of art of all types. Why is your time spent demoralizing. Be proud

I remember an analysis of I believe it was Mass Effect where it was determined that, in a typical playthrough, the player experiences original art assets at the rate of roughly one thousand dollars' worth per second

clearly we need to beat those production values, but we'll use human suffering instead of USD as it seems set to replace it as the de facto trading currency.

An hour well spent, followed! The animation reminds me of Toy Story 2 meets Rocket Robot on Wheels, excited to see what's next!

This specifically? You'll have to wait for the full release, but I've got a sort of demo if you'd like to play around with it (there will be bugs) dean-sick.itch.io/puppy-truck-...

there are lots of games that have a much better ratio of design time to play time, don't let that part scare you off.

how could it be demoralizing? you've made a finished part of your level design. an hour could be two or three, debugging and creating everything in an hour is something to be proud of

Holy hell, you can do all this in an HOUR? That's incredible. Even if if doesn't meet your own self-standards, even it's not where you'd want to be, this is amazing to me.

Welp, it’d take me at least a month to model, set up, learn to animate the car, playtest and implement everything before playtesting it. Sooo.

If you think about it that’s actually an incredible ratio. As a rough estimate it takes about 48 hours to make 10 seconds of, like, a movie.

if 360 people play the game, then it actually took 1 hour to make 1 hour total of platforming.

Yes, but if at least 3600 people watch it and get some joy out of it, you've at least broken even, right! :)

To be fair, how many players will be playing your game? 360 players means you break even.
