Preparing a weird unfinished version of MANAGO that will be released instead of a finished version.
If you've created something and released it to the public and get "too few" views or similar, it could be because your thing isn't good enough. But it could also be the platform or audience that's wrong for you. If what you've created isn't good enough you know it deep inside. Just remember that the reaction to this should be to put more work and soul into it, not to cater more to the audience. Maybe even cater less?

The new game will NOT be done Jan 14. It will be postponed indefinitely.
If you want to create something big, innovative, complex or just generally interesting, like a video game or a book or a movie or something that doesn't even have a name yet, I have compiled the ways of thinking that you should beware of. https://kbrecordzz.com/2025/10/meditations-for-creating-things---by-kbrecordzz/

If a computer in 1993 could run DOOM, a Raspberry Pi with 1GB RAM and 1.2GHz CPU (MUCH MUCH more capable than a 1993 PC) should be possible to transform into a game console that can run my simple 3D games. The fact that the Raspbian OS can barely render a website is the OS's problem and not mine. A computer that capable CAN run advanced 3D games.

You can buy a used Raspberry Pi for $20, imagine a cheap game console that weighs nothing, that you can plug your keyboard and screen into, and play games with graphics on a 1995-2005 level?

Programming bare metal is almost impossible, because it's so hard to know when the code works (I haven't even tried for real yet though). Then comes the problem to rewrite my games in a new language, and make my own renderer. I should be able to get some good side-effects from such an effort though.
The goal of a "deadline" should be to release SOMETHING, not to release something with a certain quality.
Having a high quality bar for yourself should be just a suggestion and inspiration, not a requirement.
You can force away procrastination by setting a deadline, but you can't force yourself to do more than you can do.
The game is far from finished, but I'm looking forward to share a more beautiful world, the function for swapping character in-game, and more indoors gameplay & details.
I know "This Is (NOT!) A Car Club" turned out to be buggier than I planned... but I still think testing is overrated. I'll still put all time into producing and let all errors and bugs be there as decoration.
Also thinking about putting more time into "meaningless" side-stuff like a beautiful manual for the game. All the stuff that keeps me from actually finishing the real game. I just feel like it.
