Ignore the clipping through the skirt for now, I'll most likely in the future add in physics for the clothes bones, like I did back when I was making the game in unreal engine

Also farewell video of the last thing I did in UE (if nothing stops me from making my engine), making the eyes and mouth textures, and adding blinking

Bonus technical note for anyone interested. I've decided to go with directx11 for the renderer and C++ for the code. C++ was the easier choice, as I've been enjoying using recently for modding. The renderer took some time to consider the options. I could've used OpenGL but I like some things with DX

I don't plan on doing anything too graphically challenging atleast.
Some of the player character mechanics may change to what I originally was planning to have it like, as I may prefer that more, considering that I'm now restarting my game from scratch, but still considering if I'll do that (3/3)

I'm still very early into it, but I'll try my best with it. Definitely gonna take longer, and be harder. So unfortunately my game will take even longer to release. But I should hopefully be more happy using the structure of my own engine, and learning something I'm quite interested in. (2/3)

Don't let Hope near any pottery stores 😅

Also guess I didn't really directly answer your question, I think that the end product does kinda matter a bit more than what goes on behind the scenes since that is the thing that people see and how they interact with the game and how engaging it is. Just use whatever code/assets makes the game fun

It kinda doesn't really matter too much how the code is written, as long as its performant enough, since most people won't reverse it to look through it. There is some things though that can make a game more modding friendly/easier if that is something you want to allow people to do easier.

I kinda feel the main thing is just making the code readable and clear enough to you or anyone you're working with, even if the code is kinda janky or not the best it could possibly be, as long as it works efficiently enough (to not cause performance issues) and is readable then its probably fine.

Oh no, I think usually paypal is decent about chargebacks, if it was recently requested hopefully they will soon and just needs more time

You can try to do a chargeback on paypal (if you payed through that), or through your bank to get your money back. You'll probably get your money back because they didn't deliver something you paid for

Happy new year, hope you have a good 2025 🎉

Merry Christmas

Happy Birthday Amelie 🎉

I love the chickens, so cute, wouldn't mind seeing more cute drawings of them

Thank you ❤️

Hope is gonna have donuts with physics now 🤔. Hopefully they don't roll away down a hill or something 😅

Aww, so cute.

Glad you're feeling better now

Oh no, hope you feel better soon
