The next step.

I’m a mid level hobbyist game developer, I’ve started a lot of projects but I always get stuck on where to continue when I hit a wall of tasks that require other tasks to be implemented already. For my current project I’m working on a defense RTS, I’ve already installed path finding, a custom camera and the building system however I’m at a loss on what to do for the next step. Many of the features I still need to add require others already in place. Does anyone more experienced have any idea’s? Thanks for your time!

Then do the “other features” or break down the problem into smaller parts. I used to have that problem when I first started. I would say “I want to work on THAT feature right now” or “THAT one last because its hard” or “that problem needs a software patch I’ll work on something else until that happens” . Sometimes the hard things need to be done first. At-least this is what C++ teaches you.

Thanks Aqus. I’ve managed to make a bit more progress thanks to your inspiration, I imagine it’s going to get easier once I’ve got all of the basic systems in place and I can watch it take shape.
