I mean sure. But that sounds quite defeatist. The point of avoiding perfectionism is well taken. But also the term "abandonment" is being stretched here to mean a wild range of conditions
@@LazyDevs it was a modification of the quote from, Paul Valéry, "Aux yeux de ces amateurs d’inquiétude et de perfection, un ouvrage n’est jamais achevé, - mot qui pour eux n’a aucun sens, - mais abandonné." Translated in English to, "in the eyes of those who anxiously seek perfection, a work is never truly completed-a word that for them has no sense-but abandoned." The quote has been reused by multiple artistic creators who bemoan that eventually they have to "abandon" their work, and publish something to the public. It isn't meant to be defeatist and could be interpreted as anti-perfectionist as you say. I think what is meant is that no matter how good something is, it could always be improved, but you have to be happy enough that is good enough to "abandon"/release it to the public to enjoy (or critique it). The Pico-8 community is more than blessed with Porklike, Cow Shmup, High Stakes. Shape of Mind, Pico Checkmate, Mai-Chan's Sweet Buns, and your other games. If half the Pico-8 community abandoned games as good as yours, we wouldn't have time to watch your excellent tutorial series, we would be too busy playing games.
@@LazyDevs , CZcams deleted my comment. I guess they don't like French. I will summarize: the quote is a variation of Paul Valéry's. It basically means that even perfectionists need to publish / "abandon" their work for the public to enjoy or critique it We are blessed by the quality of the games you choose to abandon.
@@LazyDevs I had 3 comments though (4 if you count this one). The 2nd comment was deleted, and the 3rd was an approximate summary of what it said in that 2nd comment.

Hey, are you gonna be at Gamescom next week?
I will be at Evoke. I have no plans for Gamescom right now
Games are never finished, they are only abandoned.
