Not seeing the forest for the trees

Posted by arty-farty - November 9th, 2015


One of the most annoying thongs about making videogames, is that much of the progress that you make is so minute, that it barely bears mentioning. 

For instance, Right now, I am working on making a system that will make sure that my character will look in a direction before turning in that direction. It is the kind of movement that makes a character believable as human, rather than machine, but also the kind of movement that is a btich to create. 

These are the kinds of things that takes months to create, and these are the kinds of things that will push a game from good to great, but while you are doing it, you kind of feel dumb and not really like you are doing much at all. 

All I can do at this point, is to hang in there and trust my vision, because right now I can't see the forst for all of the trees.
