When I asked "did you do it?", I mean if you actually did get the random wild idea for your game and if you did the idea you got. And what I mean by idea impulse is about when you get an idea for your game like random features like, "hey, how about adding time system bcz why not?", or (almost) change the nature of the game entirely.
I recently played some games that I think some of their approach were actually could be better to be used in my game. The problem is, I might need to change a half or even more of the mechanic I already built. Granted, I'm currently not really satisfied with the mechanic I came up with, but the new idea one is also a gamble if it's really be better approach. Building the new mechanic itself is not really a problem, it will just take additional time with some gambles. I don't really have deadline to finish my game though, so time shouldn't really matter.
What is your personal experience on this? will you remake your game? or you don't, instead trying to fix with whatever idea you previously come up with?
