Based on me (foolishly) playtesting XGA for years prior, replaying the whole game whenever I'd make any change, I've burnt myself out completely. Or maybe my game just isn't any fun.

So I would pick 5  :grin:  :twisted: :colonrightv:

Does romhacking count as gamedev? Anyway, I guess a developer has a worse experience with their game than a regular player, because they play an unpolished version and already know everything in the game so there is no exploration. However, I think making games is fun in itself so it's not all bad.
