You totally got this!! :D Once you start out with small assets, things will pick up exponentially :)).
I come from an engineering background, so definitely feel you on that! XD
Best of luck on your gamedev journey! :D

Soo -- it's been a while since I've logged on!
Started a new job, got into sewing my own clothes again, fell sick (yet again XD), and am finally getting back into #gamedev!
One of the things I struggle with is making digital #art fast -- any advice on how to get faster? :D

January has been a hectic ride..got sick, and took a break from gamedev to attempt some hand-drawn art :)
Hopefully things will get better with practice! :D

Aw thank you so much!! :D I hope that you enjoy the game! :))
Oh definitely haha -- I can totally see how that would be a hit or miss! XD
Haha ooh definitely send your friend to the game! :D
But haha yes thank you so much for trying out the game + the review!! Seriously appreciate it so much!! :D :D
Haha oh yeah I can def. imagine!! I had people fill 6 cells before, but after getting some feedback in beta-testing, I reduced it since I realized it would be too much burden hahaha
Glad to hear that you could ultimately get it!! :D I might tweak further down the line if more people face this!
