from Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch · host Butterscotch Shenanigans
In this episode, we discuss time perception, time estimation, and time reality. During game development, there are deliverables set on a timeline. People’s perceptions of time are notoriously inaccurate, which means that estimations of how long something will take are usually wrong. Instead of focusing on estimating time, ask yourself how long your timeline is and what can realistically be accomplished.00:20 Intro00:37 Thanks to our supporters!
