One of my favorite things about biology is that there are so many diagrams like this that look like shitposts if you remove any and all context from them

The Demo Showing last night went very, very well. Five hours of talking and demo-ing to fellow Dallas devs got me tons of insight and feedback I’ve never gotten before! Probably had ~15 people play it. (●♡∀♡) I have five pages of notes I need to shift through, but the huge thing to take away for all devs, future and now -

Lesson - Have a demo that is babysit-proof.

ie you can just hand the controller to someone and let them play in peace - it’s crucial for showing. I had one huge bug that completely slipped my radar dealing with the transition from the world map to a level. And general direction could be lost for some players. And I need button prompts. So I had to constantly hover on players all night, which is disruptive for them and stressful/embarrassing for me. All could have been handled if I had someone other than me play the game and I watched. So I need to invest in someone who’s interested in playing and has no problem noticing the gaps I can’t. But again, I’m happy. And most of the time the player I had was super chill and understanding that I have a work in progress. Anyway, I’m planning on updating the demo in about two weeks with all the bugs/tweaks I need to do. More or less. ;)
