Whenever I find I’m having a slump, whether that be through a lack of inspiration, the rut that comes with working on the same project for lengthy periods or a desire to keep my skills sharp and developing, I’ll give myself a week or two and put together a rapid prototype.
The prototype subject will vary with each project, from an aspect of a defined idea (working from the core mechanic and upwards) or an aspect which may inspire an idea itself. The idea is to eventually put together a small body of work to boost my skills and confidence as a developer and which acts as inspiration/starting points for future projects.
The current prototypes I’ve put together can be accessed via their respective image below.
