General Thoughts I’m reaching a point where I sort of need to sit down and organize a couple of things. I think I’m going to organize in tandem with writing this devlog. First, I pretty much want to retool my entire workflow. This can be put into a few seperate areas: Administrative (Writing Devlogs, outling concepts in Trello) Workstation (My OS, my actual desk setup) Game Dev (Actually making the game) Administrative Something I’ve complained about before is how obnoxious it is to add pictures to my posts....

General Thoughts Game Dev on a saturday - Is there anything sweeter? I’ve worked on my game a few nights here and there since my last update. I now have a workable class for being the enemy NPC.

Striving for Consistency Over the past two weeks, I’ve been trying to establish a habit of just “looking at” my Godot game every day. It seems like a simple enough task, but it has proven to be surprisingly difficult. There have been days when I’d stare at the screen, feeling overwhelmed, and end up doing nothing. It’s a strange feeling, considering how passionate I am about game development and the enjoyment I find in working on my projects....
