Old enough to remember when the save icon was an actual item.

The idea came from the Brackeys game jam—I wasn't able to compete, but the theme "Nothing can go wrong" sparked an idea: what if we have a story with no happy ending, but by changing just one word, we can make the kid happy? That's the idea. Let's see if I can pull it off. #gamedev #godot #solodev

The nice thing about learning through micro-projects is that each one looks better than the last, and they're easy to finish... (mostly because I'm the one deciding when it's "done" ;) ) #godot #learningtosolodev #gamedev

Guess who tried to add a crosshair to their game for 2 hours? Me! Without any tutorial! :D
Though I'm a hundred percent sure I'll find out that my method won't work with web shooting...
And that there's a method that creates a crosshair in less than 10 minutes. BUT I DID IT. #godot #learning

Soooo, I did buy myself an early bday present ;D Not gamedev-related, I'm afraid. I love telling and writing stories, and I've been looking at some kind of #writerdeck for a while. When I saw a used one for sale in great condition—let's just say I snapped it up in a second! ;) #freewrite

Step 1: Find an old Dell laptop
Step 2: Install Linux on it.
Step 3: Do not instal any communicator or social media app
Step 4: Now you have a perfect productivity machine.
...
Step 5: Linux stopped booting. Hard drive not found. All data lost.
...
Step 6: Back on my main rig.

The weekend is behind me, and I’ve completed two small projects. Both are mostly UI-oriented. It’s 2 am... I should get some sleep, buuuut I think my wife will kill me for not cleaning the kitchen (again). #godot #familylife #gamedev #sleepwhatsleep

Hot topic: Is using AI good for learning #GameDev?
My take: Yes – as long as you invest time in learning the basics so you can spot when AI goes off the rails. Use it to learn, not just to produce or copy #code. But remember, it shouldn’t be your only source of knowledge. #godot #learning #indiedev

That moment of learning: when you look at two hours of work and think, "Ohhh shiii#" as you realize it could’ve been done in 15 minutes – and in a way that’s far easier to scale. The more we know... :D #godot #indiedev #smallproject #gamedev

Also TIL: Visual scripting looks fun. Probably is fun. But for me it's even more confusing then raw gdscript.
