had this thought/realization about art progress;
what if, in order to spot some problems, you have to get to a satisfactory stage with your last set of problems? Since you're trying to tackle literally an entire world, you still have some of the same issues say 1, 5, 20 years in, but you hadn't and couldn't spot them before?
That'd explain the cyclical appearance of This Sucks => Okay Now This Looks Okay => This Rocks (several tech aspects come together) => This Sucks (next issues spotted)
and if that's true, by definition most times I thought I sucked big red baboon ass I was actually doing okay, but just uncovered another procedural thing.
@Leucrotta I think that's how skills in general go, and what makes them tough.
It reminds me a lot of that graph showing "ability to judge your skill" and "your skill" constantly dancing around to supersede the other, but still overall going upwards.
@chimerror Thanks! Useful to have any and all feedback, I don't think I'd seen that graph though I remember another with art skill plateauing/rocketing forwards.
