Post-Mortem Systems Analysis: Hard-Learned Protocols from Consume Me

Post-Mortem Systems Analysis: Hard-Learned Protocols from Consume Me

Field log: Designer Jenny Jiao Hsia deconstructs the development of Consume Me, exposing five hard-earned lessons from prototyping, personal subject matter, and scope misalignment. The report details how aesthetic ambition, emotional vulnerability, and unclear design pillars can corrupt production pipelines—and how disciplined constraints, honest playtesting, and better self-care protocols recalibrate the mission. This is not a victory lap; it’s a hazard briefing for future operators entering similarly personal, experimental projects. #gamedev #indiedev #postmortem
