Hi,

for us, this is mainly good news, because it means that you are back to DP, and you're making steady progress :-) Setting up a computer doesn't take that long. However, I hope you haven't lost too much of your other data - things like this can be really annoying.

I also made the experience that development always takes more time than expected. I once had a small private project that suddenly took 4 years :-o But yes, it was fun. Unfortunately, at the moment, I neither have the time nor the ideas for a private game project.

Greetings!

Thanks, that's good to hear. :) Yeah, that's true, haha. One good advice I received from another developer is that when making a game, try to first simulate it physically. Like, cut out some paper cards and try playing the game with that, or try to do it as a simple boardgame. I did that with Harem of Commander (but on Excel), and I'm really happy with how that turned out. I think it's a good exercise in keeping the scope modest, because with paper, you really can't track too many variables, lol.
