I've implemented a Level editor for the #BrickBreaker game.
Now it is possible to manage levels for the game much faster and comfortable. Go and read the post on itch.io if you want to see how it looks like.

It’s not just about breaking bricks: the main goal is to deepen my understanding of #UIToolkit by building a full level editor from scratch.
Classic gameplay, modern UI. Let’s go! 🚀

“Future growth” must be code for “cut heads, boost profits”. Or maybe “dump the fallout on the devs and call it strategy”.
At this rate, soon they’ll grow so much they won’t need any devs at all.

You can now create a character (just a capsule with a nose for now 😂) and launch a game with it standing in a scene.
Not much to do yet, but that's about to change soon.

Never been a fan of the alignment system in #D&D.
Locking a character’s moral compass in stone feels so limiting.
A paladin can fall, a devil can regret.
Good should be free to turn evil, and evil free to seek redemption.
No one’s ever just black or white. Not in life. Not in fantasy.
