>>714455853It's a PITA but it's the only way. Take a couple weaks/months to make a bunch of early arcade-tier gameplay on a smaller scale, make progressive growth and try different techniques to see what works for you and your designs.
Same applies to drawing more or less. You just have to do things mindfully for a while and the really painful part is sucking at it for most of that while.
t. currently sucking at drawing but I cope by copying anime girls to feel like that will be the end result of this
