I'm starting to feel like developing a turn-based game is about building a framework to edit your game in a text file 📄 I've got all of the rules for each of the buildings in my game in a scriptable object, which helps for iterating quickly and balancing ⚖️

One thing I struggle with as a dev is prototyping features without making them look pretty. ✨ I get so caught up in making icons and animations before I've tested if the feature is fun. Is this normal?
