Taking a break when you feel saturated with game dev (which is normal)…
and using that pause to start another game: that’s true S-tier behavior.

I’m in that phase where new game ideas keep coming.
Taking a short break while the Steam page is under review to explore simple, quick concepts.
I’m almost at the point (and tempted) to launch a second Steam page for another tiny game at the same time.

Day 24!
Here’s what’s left: finish the Steam page, fix bugs, and complete a few assets.
I’ve given myself plenty of time: launch planned for March 2026.
That leaves room for playtests, fixes, a bit of promo, and a Steam Fest in February!

DAY 23! I’m developing a tiny game: Caravane!
The other day I mentioned Steam achievements, here’s the idea:
When I was a kid, cars had stickers all over the rear window. In the game, every sticker is an achievement.
Collect as many as you can!

DAY 22!
Playtesters often asked for a visual cue when unlocking an upgrade or a new type of goodies throw.
Sticking to the racing theme, I prototyped a yellow inflatable arch.
Can’t wait to swap in the final sprite!

Fixed a bunch of bugs this morning!
For example: the crowd now spawns correctly when driving back and forth over already generated road sections.

I’m developing a tiny game: Caravane.
After 2 hours scratching my head in Construct 3, I finally made it work:
a draw of 2 random cards, never the same, and removed from the pool once used.
A real brain-teaser…
A tiny thread, 1/4:

In the end, it took me just over 6 hours to set up the triggers for my 25 Steam achievements!
Now it’s time to design 25 shiny stickers to place on the rear windshield :p

Before: basic goodies were ejected randomly from the truck → frustration.
Now: they’re thrown by a cute little hand, and the player can aim at a zone→ satisfaction.

DAY 21! I’m developing a tiny game: Caravane.
Yesterday I said 17 Steam achievements—turns out I’m pushing it to 25.
But wow, it’s a pain to code… you really have to think of everything!
