Definitely did, quite a few times. Although, sometimes it causes scope creep 🤣 But usually it helps to find a better solution than hammering away at the issue non-stop. Taking a step back gives perspective, and your subconscious is always slowly working through the problem even when you're away.

I think what also helps is to admit it's a long-term journey, not a weekend project. It's okay to take a break and do other things, and come back to it later with fresh ideas 😄

True that - it's extremely hard to keep going that long, and I was not immune to that. Wayfallen's development had some long pauses, while balancing it between a full time job and real-life, before coming back to it with fresh ideas. But I guess those pauses were necessary to avoid burnout.

Wayfallen - playing around with knockback weapons to bully some asteroids and test the physics while taking a break from coding. 🎮 #gamedev #indiedev #spacesim

Admiring the station traffic from the observation deck in Wayfallen, my upcoming space sim sandbox that simulates many thousands of spaceships in realtime. #indiedev #gamedev #spacesim
Space station with lots of traffic as traders and miners bring their goods to buy/sell.

This week in Wayfallen: ships run hot now. Linger near a star and your hull temperature climbs, bleeding into shields and energy. Active cooling buys time - venting heat means dropping your guard. Space stops being empty background and becomes a thermal problem you have to fly around :) #indiedev 🎮

Trade routes set up between the territories of different factions, all carried out by individual freighters carrying physical goods to support a fully simulated economy and production chain, in Wayfallen, a massive space sandbox game. #gamedev #spacesim
Trade routes criss-crossing on the strategic view map, showing trade between territories of different factions

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

it's destroying communities. not in the abstract "it's bad for the environment" sense, in the literally observable immediate sense. usage of it is tantamount to violence against your own neighbors, and it should be treated as the antisocial behavior that it actually is

Trade in Wayfallen is not a price list. Every station prices each commodity by what's sitting in their holds right now. A foundry short on iron pays well. foundries overflowing pay poorly. Merchants who make a living at this read stations the way other people read the weather 🌦️ #gamedev #spacesim ♥
Station market UI where merchants can buy and sell commodities :)

Starsector's such a gem - I keep going back to it every once in a while. Especially with the mods like Nexerelin it really scratches that itch ;P

Hi - I'm building Wayfallen, a massive 4X space sandbox game where you start with nothing yet can rule a major space empire. Developed on a highly custom Unity. This week: ships finally feel their cargo. Load a freighter heavy and it handles like one. discord.gg/h8yXDnDJRb #4X #spacesim #gamedev
Freighter flying through space with a gorgeous backdrop
