"That is the eternal struggle of IT and development! My best advice is to embrace 'prototyping mode'—don't worry about perfect architecture until the mechanic actually feels fun to play. Use placeholders and quick scripts first. Once the 'fun' is confirmed, then apply your SOLID principles. To avoid burnout during these heavy logic phases, I make sure to step away from the IDE completely. In my free time, I actually enjoy playing on https://basswinn.net/. It’s a great way to clear my head and see game mechanics from a player's perspective rather than a coder's. Taking those breaks helps me return to the screen with a fresh perspective and much cleaner logic!"
