Spent today mostly refactoring the code, but also added a little visual change - trees now change depending on the tile they're on ^.^

Considering it's basically day 1 of experimenting with Godot I'm quite happy with the progress :D Involved familiarizing myself with github setup, godot editor itself, the wiki, the asset store / plugins, getting Kenney assets, and upgrading the gesture recogniser I found from godot 3 to 4.2.7

Looking forward to giving Godot another try after Gamescom. It didn't click for me the first time I tried to make a game in it, but I'm really impressed by all the games using it rn, so I really really hope I'll vibe with it this time <3

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

felt a creative surge these last couple of evenings but wanted to consciously avoid doing anything work or business related. so I drew again 🥰 experimenting with 2-color shading, lofi style inspired at first, now experimenting with other color palettes.

14 years ago I attended my 1st Gamescom - a fan, a student. This year I attended for the 2nd time - a developer, a freelancer, a studio founder. It was an overwhelming and emotional experience. I am so proud of how far I've come. Can't wait to see what the next 14 years will bring!
A photo of a young woman (me!) with short purple hair in front of the "Anno 2070" booth at Gamescom in 2011.
She is surrounded by three friends with blurred faces for privacy.
A caption reads "how it started".A photo of the same young woman, 14 years later - her hair is long and a blond-brown colour, she is wearing a "Billie Bust Up" t-shirt, and a devcom lanyard. 
A Gamescom logo is barely visible in the background.
A caption reads "how it's going".
