25. What's the weirdest or coolest bug you've encountered?

Wasn't anything crazy, just had my state machine screwed up, but here's my character sprite spinning around endlessly instead of being idle 😅

Day 14- One of these is kept in the chamber at all times 😤 #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

#Devmas 12. Do you prefer story first or gameplay first design?

Definitely story first or story forward. I definitely prefer coming up with a setting and universe then making mechanics that make sense in that world.

How did you get into game development?

I've dabbled in a lot of tabletop game design and have been programming professionally for 3 years and have really been wanting to play a game that doesn't exist. #gamedev sounded cool. Lets do it!

20. What's a game you wish more people would play?

Treasures of the Deep. We accidentally rented this game at a Blockbuster and it was so much fun. It ignited my love for exploration and cool progressive upgrade systems. Do jobs, get money, buy upgrades

Day 16- Being threatened at swordpoint by Orochi over the slightest decrease in productivity during the workday would be motivation like no other. Dates are getting moved up immediately! 😂 #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #forhonor

Day 3- Aside from wanting to take pride in our development style and process and celebrating the accomplishments that come from that, "prestige" is word play on the online handle of PI's founder, @preztg.me

#Devmas 11. What's a mechanic you love to design and why?

I really like designing combat systems. I come from a card game and miniature game background and there's so much room there for innovation.

Day 10- Including a secret route that's only accessible if no activity is detected after the main screen for x hours on first playthrough. Funny fs, but it never made it in bc our time could be spent on more important items. Or did it? 👀 #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Day 15- For project mgmt and work package tracking, #Smartsheet 100%. For the actual dev, #Unity is clearing every time because of its extensibility and ease of use. #Unreal is pretty though. Beautiful gowns. 🤭 #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #gaymer

#Devmas 14. What's your go to drink during a late night dev session?

If I have solid direction and just want to jam out some code for the next 4 hours I'll have a peppermint mocha. If I'm stuck creatively and want to get in the cozy zone I'll have a nice stout.

#Devmas 13. What's a feature or theme you think defines your games?

I think it's too early for this one for me. But I hope this game will feel lived in and familiar but fresh being juxtaposed in a sci-fi setting and with mechanics that only work in sci-fi

23. What's your favorite game genre?

I used to be really into RTS and 4x games. For a while now it's been cozy games, life/farm sims, voxel, and RPGs.

Minecraft, Stardew valley, animal crossing, harvest moon, Pokemon. Sign me up

Day 17- We want our players to feel seen, hopeful and inspired. The kind of unique, intimately transformative experience that gets you a bit choked up when thinking or talking about it even years down the line. Profound impact above all else. #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Day 11- This is a hard one, but it's a tie between the phone features and mini-games. It's fun hiding easter eggs, details and lore in the different crevices of the game in hopes that someone just as curious comes across them one day. #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

22. What's your favorite thing about the indie game dev community?

This one's easy. A lot of people talk a bit game about a rising tide lifts all ships. But y'all believe it. Everyone is excited for you and your game and incredibly supportive

Day 2- The inspiration for Project Leo came from the realization that my stories would die with me if I didn't tell them. There are way too many wild and funny ones to not share with the world! We need more diverse stories anyway! 😄 #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Day 18- Get organized early. Having a scalable, comprehensive system in place to track tasks and manage a project as it matures could be the difference between a hit release and a project falling flat on its face only a few months (or weeks) in #25daysofdevmas #devastating #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Day 24 (catch up)- Of course! Nothing would get done without a fire playlist. Anything by Kenneth Whalum is an instant vibe and great way to get into flow state. If all else fails, just put Ghost Town on repeat, tie that hair up and get clicking! #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

24. Do you work to music? Drop your playlists.

Yup! It's either things like Marina, Sia, etc or it's medieval lofi so I feel like I'm a tavern/innkeeper of ye olden days

Day 20- There are still a ton of people out there who have never experienced Red Dead 2 or Shadow of the Colossus. Everyone should play through them at least once! 😤 #25daysofdevmas #devastating #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Day 4- Ambitious. We have big dreams and the skills to make them a reality one day. Our goal is to be a studio of firsts that paves the way for future creators and adds to the legacy of those that dared to believe in the power of storytelling too. #25DaysOfDevmas #Devmas #indiedev #gamedev #gaming
