In episode 6, we talk about prioritizing game dev. Understanding the problem, building a schedule to prioritizing time and overcoming the challenges of this approach. Review the podcast analytics to talk about the insane reach and power of YouTube. Touch on a person update. For games I played, we talk about Tunic (spoiler free). I beat it! Discuss what I liked, didn't like, and a learning lesson I had. Finish update with a game dev update. Played with shaders in godot for designing card effects. Learned that ignored (and had not considered) readability of the card. Talk about card readability and interesting use case in Balatro with negatives cards. Close with adding a new enhancement card to game.
