Independent teams making charming, honest little games on a budget.

Most of the benefit comes from getting the fundamentals right and then simply repeating them.

If you take one thing from this article, let it be that consistency quietly does most of the work.

A few readers wrote in with their own tweaks, and we've folded the best ones into this guide.

The honest version is that small, steady choices tend to beat big, dramatic ones over time.

There's no single right way to do it; the best method is the one you'll actually keep using.

None of this needs special tools or a lot of spare time — a few minutes here and there is plenty.

We'll walk through it step by step, then leave you with a short checklist you can come back to.

When in doubt, do less but do it more consistently; steady beats intense almost every time.
