If you're trying to get into game design my advice is stop fucking thinking about "game design", stop watching video essays and game design analysis videos, and just fucking make a ton of little games with the design based on nothing but gut instinct.

So Steam hasn't approved my game because apparently the game crashes if controller is disconnected mid-game. Game works fine under normal circumstances. Why am I responsible if it crashes when players do unusual things like unplugging controller mid-game? #gamedev #IndieGameDev
