Est-ce que qqun sait si il y a des aides pour les docteurs-entrepreneurs en France encore ? Tous les résultats que je trouve c'est soit pour les étudiants en général, soit pour RECRUTER des docteurs (et ces aides ont l'air de disparaître)

Heyo! Quick peek at what I've been working on recently: an automatic video editor!

This will allow me to show how my projects evolve, castagne tutorials and changelogs, and rendering videos! The editing time has always been an issue before, but this should fix that.

Realized it's been so long since I posted anything on Molten because dev goes too fast now, I got like 5 playable characters
I also upgraded the prototype sprites with COLOR so they can stay up for a while! It will allow iterating on the gameplay a lot more
