Devlog#3 fckup

Hi || Moro!

I didn't listen and I fucked up.. Completely & totally overscoped the fck outta my first project. I really wanted to try a bit of everything, and in hindsight, that was the main reason I got stuck and lost the momentum. I also didn't properly plan or define the project's scope, so I often had to rewrite core stuff to fit the newer systems. And with thousands of lines, that became a burden.

I had some cool systems working nicely (see my other posts), but I still hadn't nailed down the main gimmick or "thing". Adding more stuff just for the sake of it felt kinda pointless. Project #1 isn't completely dead, it's just on ice for now.

I am still exited for the next project and fully committed to oogabooga and the caveman way.
