Thanks for sharing so much about the dev process! It was interesting to see how you approached the game development and solved issues. Do you think working through the KaiOS process and talking to the KaiOS development team helped you improve as a developer overall? I'd definitely be interested to know if you were able to apply anything you learned through KaiOS to other projects.

Thank you for reading!

In general, I felt more like I was using my frontend skills to leverage my game development skills. About the KaiOS dev team, they didn't provide any technical feedback so I can't say that interaction improved something.

Working on this project did actually helped me improve as a developer overall, especially on the game dev part. I have a way better understanding of WebGL and GLSL than I used to thanks to this project!

I think that working on any type of side project will always help you improve as a developer, especially if you set challenging but attainable goals for your MVP.

That was fun to read, Fernando!
