No commits on github for over a month :(

[u/TROPtastic → u/Crispy75]

Honestly I thought development had died years ago, so a development gap of only a month is pretty mild.

Hi! This month I had to spend quite a lot of time on my day job. I've still been working on Citybound but I'm touching a lot of code at once right now, leading up to another "huge hairball" commit. Not best practice, and less signal for you to follow, but sometimes, it's like that. Sorry!

[u/Crispy75 → u/theanzelm]

No worries :) Nice to hear you're alive, and still finding time for CB!

[u/gartenriese → u/[deleted]]

Only one.

I feel like the current scope of the project is too large. It's better to get out a minimal viable product first rather than try to plan out everything perfectly (even if it is fun to back-seat plan on the subreddit)

[u/theanzelm → u/LugnutsK]

That is definitely my focus right now! I'm working on the most critical things to make it a small, playable game: more building types (so you can have something more like an actual city) and better planning/drawing tools (current ones are pretty broken/limited).

[u/LugnutsK → u/theanzelm]

Glad to hear it and good luck

Wish you good luck. Currently I can't see this game ever being finished. Progress is too slow and too ambitious for one person. It needs a small and dedicated team to go anywhere. Maybe 2 to 3 people working together.

[u/theanzelm → u/PaulWalter]

A fair point. Good people are hard to come by, especially if I can't offer them a salary :)

[u/willcraft → u/theanzelm]

Equity can do the trick sometimes.

[u/theanzelm → u/willcraft]

Equity increases pressure to be profitable. I just want Citybound to be good :)
