(3/3) What helped us:
• Short, time-boxed internal jams (1 month, gray box only)
• Willingness to kill ideas early
• EXTREME scope control
• Focusing on releases, allowing imperfection
That shift finally got us to a prototype on Itch, and now we're heading towards Early Access on Steam!

(2/3) What finally broke the loop for us was realizing our strategy literally couldn’t lead to a release. One teammate finally said it out loud and we knew she was absolutely right. We were going nowhere slowly. Very, VERY slowly!

(1/3) Ah, I really relate to this. I was stuck in stagnant game dev from 2018 to mid-2025. Lots of ideas and a ton of scope creep. My own studio's first game died a year long death from continuous scope creep.

I might have some advice for this, but it depends on where you are in your game dev journey and your goals. 🤔
