We confront the reality of game development, sharing the highs and lows of creating Samurado. Originally a 90-day challenge, it's now been a seven-and-a-half-month journey. Learn about our struggles, embarrassing setbacks, and the reasons behind the delay. Bad news: It's not a 3 month project... and is taking far longer than expected. Good news: We're not giving up, and progress is soaring! Discover the challenges of underestimated timeframes, project management pitfalls, and the unexpected nuances in game development. We're revamping our approach, scrapping old to-do lists, and establishing schedules for a more controlled development process. If you're new to our channel, we're Brandon & Nikki from Sasquatch B Studios. We sold our house to start our game studio, and work full time on building our business and making our games, Veil of Maia & Samurado. Subscribe for NEW game dev videos every Monday & Thursday!
