The biggest win is that we created our first-ever game from scratch in just 10 days, and it still has a full game loop. It has a beginning, and it has an end.
As for the losses: hours of good sleep! :D
Sleep is normally lost, it's fine, I only need 3 hours a night ... and then a 12 hour stint here or there ...
Nice job on making your first game.
Thanks a lot! Gamedev is great, but a good sleep is still important. So dont forget it :D
When focussing or distracted, I find it way too easy to delay sleep, I know it's not healthy, but it's the way I am.
Sometimes it's useful, most of the time it's a curse ...
