Either online courses or games that specialize in coding, like The Farmer Was Replaced.

Are these teams with a project designer that essentially dictates what goes into the game?

Man, imagine a way to get into the algorithm of only suggesting your learning videos after the original video ends, extra clarity moments

I'm a software engineer by trade, so art and music are always a struggle for me. But if I need scripts, or a state machine, project organizing, etc- that's easy IMO.

Luckily anything I planned on releasing is in repos, but utils, prototypes, etc that I had were not. Don't learn this lesson the hard way.

I really like your character's hurt animation of closed eyes and open mouth. It's so subtle from a pixel art perspective, but works so well!

One solution is to find some volunteer play testers in exchange for a copy of something- have them record their gameplay and/or report bugs.

1. Get more direct user feedback early on
2. Maybe try 3d in a game jam
3. Have fun

Ah so the ghost isn't actually performing the abilities like with inputs (jump, grapple, etc), it's just essentially lerping to the next position?

Draw some areas on paper; play similar games and study their level design; have a close few people play your test levels and provide feedback - level design is hard, I struggle with it as well

Something about that pop, just feels right when it's correct.

...so far. Don't worry, after a few new abilities, more than likely I'll want to adjust it again.

I'm curious what approach you took for ghosts, input recording?

Are you using multiple shaders for the overall pixelation and the character outlines? Looks fantastic.

I wouldn't allow them to cancel/refuse one, especially if it's a chain of quests. I would however have some that could expire if you want fomo. If you don't want them to expire, and require each quest in a chain, you could always reduce the reward over time.

I see. In that case, I would just have that npc at the specific place stay until that quest is completed. A way to hint to the player that the quest is there- maybe have a dock worker, or someone you run into mention that s/he overheard X cargo is being purchased at higher rates at Y place

Secondly, (RPG as example) either way, you can always have some kind of NPC that hands out these quests, but in order of release. As long as they haven't completed the quest, they can't progress to the next. These could at some point start where the previous ended to prevent some staleness.

The first question I would have is the type of game and type of daily quests? FPS style where it's "Do X, Y number of times" for some unlock tokens/XP?, or is it RPG based where you are literally following a story element?
