Game:

  •  Brief comparison to The Legend of Dragoon 
  •  Blending Narrative and Gameplay
  •  Job System
  •  Character Personalities

 Develop:

  •  The purpose and weight of a story
  •  The purpose and weight of gameplay
  •  Is this immersion?
  • My development:
    •  A major test drive of indie game dev
    •  Godot is amazing
    •  TileMap, Terrain, Animator
    •  Still have a lot to learn

 Repeat:

  •  Does your gameplay have any connection to your narrative, or your characters?
  •  What is the most compelling part of your game? 
  • What would you like to be the most compelling part?

 Tip:

  •  Comparison is not strictly necessary to learn from something. Do not compare yourself to others excessively.
