Gradually creeping up on the part where I finally plug the bits I've been working on the last month or so into the bits that I already got working, albeit in a somewhat static form, and hopiong they will go together as nicely as I hope. I need to get this part right.
Reassuring hearing this from a pro, thx. Fooling around with my fist C64 game (a party Joy2 wiggler) & after having all the GFX done, I'm sorta too in the same spot by marrying gfx & code while having these dreadful "have to get this right" & "do I even know what I'm doing" in the back of my head.
I can tell you, as a pro, that this is normal to feel every time out. The thing is to keep doing it so you develop the true belief that even if you're not sure at first, even if you haven't found the point at which it clicks yet, you know that eventually you *will* find that point.
Feels much easier on the gfx side, getting lost in ideas, spawning variants & it eventually turns out good. Coding is a bigger beast w/ lots of (tiny/hidden) decisions that will bite you in the ass later, but I get your point, so no more whining, follow the vision & let's not forget, I'm in for fun.
Hopefully in a few days I'll know. 🐂
