The feature list of #BarrenPlanet, while it never spiralled out of control, was one of the main reasons it changed from a 1-month jam project into a major 2½ year project. And I think the game is all the better for it. PBM play and a better computer player than its predecessor were well worth waiting for. I discuss the features I added in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/198/barren-planet-the-features #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga
