The advice you give about having a plan before beginning production is so apt.
The biggest difference I've noticed among indie designers is often that one detail - those with a clear goal and a clear plan as to how to work toward it makes all the difference!
I've seen devs get lost in the weeds, as it were, because they didn't have a map when they started their adventure!
Granted, I'm in the tabletop space so it's a slightly different world, but much of the principles you're discussing in this video are applicable!
Love it, keep it up!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response!

Hmmmm this is actually a good topic. I wondered how I would balance Procedural vs Handcrafted elements in my future game or my portfolio.

Also lol I actually struggled with skipping to the actual work rather than do a design on paper stage xD

@@EnvArtistRupesh Totally normal! But I just tell myself that the first idea is never the best, so sketching out a few ideas helps with that. Thank you!
