His design process is highly iterative, starting with loose ideas and evolving through sketches, prototyping, and constant refinement. And of course, balancing everything like coding, art, marketing, and playtesting can be exhausting. It started with a simple idea: What if a katana gave you insane movement abilities?

This includes a more technical identification of needs, what would I have to implement in code? This finally leads me to prototyping and validation. I definitely recommend getting feedback from external playtesters at each step “On each one of those steps I end up having one or more concrete ‘products’.

art, design, technology, physics, coding, music, maths, 3D, problem solving, empathy, and fun!” It’s very satisfying deleting a huge chunk of your old code. Feedback from playtest sessions with friends or players is really important. Although I never imagined I’d make a game, it turns out it’s basically the perfect job for me.

Before doing a full item-by-item review, I started with two special categories of unique build-defining items: aliens artifacts and Exiles prototypes. Exiles Prototypes. ASCII art for Exiles prototypes. As an example, by far the most sought after prototype was Lightpack 2.0, Categorical Approach. Slot-wise Approach.

The Sanctua game design document was 95% complete before I started coding. It’s important to stick to the plan to avoid spending years making prototypes, that you will need to adapt in most cases after the first playtests. Sometimes working 10 or 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, on a project you wrote months ago.
