Yeah that's the smartest path. I should do that too, but I think I've finished every prototype I've made so far, though I give less effort the more I feel it's not so worth it.
I like to make art, maybe that's why I go after every prototype, and the project may take new directions the more I mess with it.
I used to always finish my current project before I start a new one in order to get it done.
But now I really like to work on multiple projects, switching when I feel like it. I find after long breaks you see your game with a fresh set of eyes and flaws become more obvious. Also there is less fatigue and boredom, especially when two projects are very different from another. (Currently working on a futuristic mech game and a primitive forest survival game)
Short gamejams also help taking a break from a big main project, but I'd like to know if others also have more than one larger project in the works, and how they feel about that.
I like the technique with all those very differently coloured pixels next to each other.
Don't like the ?headshot? content. The black and red lines could use the same noise tomake the image more consistent. But I think the image would be best with just the background, as an abstract piece.
It makes me happy that you cherish it.
Do you like mechs?
I'm currently working on Navpoint Beta, a sequel to Navpoint Alpha. I also made some more arcade-y mech games: Info Infect and Plasma Guardian.

Ima just continue making games, "big" and small. I'd like to switch to Godot, but I'm so used Gamemaker(Studio 1) which does everything I need. I'd rather spend my time making games than learning a new engine. I would like to incorporate more of my hand-drawn art more instead of pixelart. Genre-wise I'm all over the place, and sometimes think it would be better to concentrate on one, but nah.
I just release my games for free on the Playstore. If I ever see a game of mine getting 100 000 downloads then I might reconsider.
Had to update my games to a newer API recently, and yes it is way more cumbersome than it was the first time I put my games up there. Don't know if I'll ever do that again.
All my APKs are also available on itch of course. Never tried other stores like Amazon and Huawei, maybe should check those out.
DOWNLOAD (version 0.66) with new plasma weapon and shield.
This is where you configure your mech. Your last score = money for your next mech.
