Don’t sweat it, I can’t count how many times I’ve dumped current builds and restarted work on a project. Sometimes it’s just for the best and you get to begin again with knowledge and experience you don’t have the last time around. It doesn’t mean you’re pulling a Duke Nukem Forever or anything 😅

Thank you for creating it, resources like this are just what new and aspiring indie developers need and there’s a lot of good information and advice in there.

I’d say you’re going about it the right way, it is just a tool and every tool has its place and purpose.
Not expecting or using it as a magic button I think is an appropriate use of it and do agree with you.

You’re quite welcome. It’s something that requires a lot of skill to do, I think people assume it’s easy compared to 3D models and art but I’d argue it’s more complicated as you’re creating something with dimension and need to account for viewing angles, shadows and shading among many other things.

That’s so wonderful to hear I had been so cautiously optimistic during development it’s relieving to hear good impressions from players the series has needed a win for a long time now.

Yeah the directors commentary made it sound like it was quite the project with a lot of challenges. Dan O’Bannon I always felt was too hard on himself about it he created something great that has become quite timeless.
