How Hard Could it be to Design a Mini-Game System?
Heya Pals,
This week I thought I'd have an honest chat about how difficult it is to actually develop features for a solo project as big as Insignia, even if you mostly know what you're doing. For those looking to do what I do, you've got to know how much goes into it, and I think the last couple of months for me have been a good example of that.
