I did it again (www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c...), a 2nd session of game #playtesting, this time reaching 35+ demos! After playing the demos, sending my notes to the #indiedevs, these are the things I learnt, or maybe just reaffirmed:

I have been developing this simplified voice system for many months, and it's almost ready for publication... but let Tato and Chicho explain for themselves the value of this... #yiperyvoice #unity #gamedev

This 1024x1024 pixel texture, was the color map of a full map in Delta Force 1 (1998) and it felt like an infinite open-world game. Just a nostalgic #gameDev comment, passing by... (I used to make small Delph tools to extract games data for fun and experiments)
