Steering Behaviors: Path following. Ended up creating an editor tool for spline editing in Godot that can now create cool paths easily. youtu.be/5eYIbL7Hyww

Took on a side project for the break, writing a clean steering behavior library in Godot (will be open source) to teach/share with others. Pretty happy with current progress - here is Collision Avoidance + Seek combined together.

Spent some time this year learning more about Godot. My favorite way to learn a new engine is to make a little indie game/demo - so made a small puzzle platformer/metroidvania to test it out. Pretty happy with where it ended up.

Wrapped up a tough but productive year at work and have some time to relax and get back to indie projects and some pixel arting during winter break! Going to try and be more active here :)

Got a steam deck finally and it’s a game changer for me catching up to my giant list of indie games.

@tanyaxshort.bsky.social Boyfriend Dungeon is such a unique coherent game. Love how well the theme is incorporated with the mechanics and progression!
