So I just noticed that when I switch scenes, new button is missing its border. Not sure yet if my scene cleanup is overzealous or some layer shenanigans are happening. I’m not happy since I have no idea where to look.
Good job me, bug’s been there for two weeks

It looks rather underwhelming, but my engine finally has concept of scenes. First time I had to design something like this, so the system is held up with bubblegum and optimism... but it WORKS!
Time to implement card game mechanics in this card game.

I started working on a scene system in my engine.
I've got to admit that "everything is an entity" part of ECS is breaking my brain right now. On one hand, it feels obvious and natural, but designing all the needed components is a mental marathon.

Why this input system is so hard to implement? I implemented stuff like that many times, but this one is pure struggle. Not sure if this is one of those days or I don’t enjoy this type of logic so much… anyways I think mouse support will be enough for now 😅

I don't regret my short adventure with Lua. It was super fun to work with this amazing language and Love2D. If I had to point to the biggest reason behind my switch to C# I'd say types... I like compiler telling me I'm an idiot trying to pass an array as an int. 😅 #devlog #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

Love your game, but don't let that love blind you.
You need to be able to disconnect emotionally from it.
This helps massively when taking on feedback and changing course if things aren't feeling right.
It's obvious, but not easy as with most things in this world

It took much longer than expected... but I am slowly adding things to the project. I spent two days trying to figure out why the logs to card details switch wasn't happening. Issue was caused by lack of type system in LUA... I like this language, but sometimes...

I'm releasing my visual horror novel Without a Dawn on my birthday, May 19th, on Steam! I've worked incredibly hard and would appreciate your wishlist on Steam to give the game the chance it deserves: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Thank you! 🥰💛🖤

Yeah, I am making a game with cyberpunk theme, but this might be one step too far...
Now that I think about it maybe I could use this feature of lua for some animation or vfx... like a temporary corruption when System Integrity goes down.

If you don't use a versioning system ... this should *right now* be your most important and urgent task to version your project. It's not difficult and will save your ass if everything goes haywire.

🧵 I talked with my friend last night about my project for a bit, and that got me thinking: What could I use if not Lua?
I don't want Unity or Godot. I want a nice ECS library and some sane language. So far I could think of C + Flecs + Raylib or a C# equivalent.

I think I coded myself into a corner with my "fast prototyping" approach. My ECS project is using a surprising amount of non-ECS code. *sigh* Cue the music... It's time for the big rewrite.
