Finally took another look at Project Mask after like 3 weeks of not working on it. It actually seems further along than I initially remembered! Rudimentary battle system, all the underlying stuff in place... just need to work out the hardcoded/clunky pieces, add a lobby system and then I can possibly start working on the netcode/making an alpha (text-only) client! Hopefully after that my friend/associate can help me out with making a GUI design that doesn't blow chunks and I can put it into closed beta before 2024

Oh, of course it will mean more work, but it will reduce the possibility of the project failing if you remove some levels of abstraction.

What I meant is that it would increase complexity/project size, which could cause undue frustration and early abandonment of a project. Depends on how low you go, I guess.

I know I've had my fair share of friends who thought they could handle more than they actually can - in a way I've experienced this, myself
