Learning how to use @gamemaker.io and it's a lot of fun! Still got lots to do but it's been rad to use visual scripting.
Coding still absolutely breaks my brain but hopefully just by doing things I will get better.

Special thanks to Ben from @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social who made the sick-ass music and @damousey.bsky.social who is making an alt-controller for this game!

Over the last couple of years I've found it super hard to concentrate on doing one thing.
The only way I get through stuff is by doing 20 things and eventually everything gets done.
