I can promise there will never be a AI in any game I make.
Easy. But also important to say anyways.

![3. add these two effects in this order:
Reverb (not to be confused with *Delay*)
ideally you want something that leaves a few-seconds-long "trail" after the initial "hit" of the sound, but your mileage may vary depending on the input sound used
->
[screenshot of Fullbucket Frequency Shifter and KiloHearts Frequency Shifter]
Frequency Shifter (not to be confused with *Pitch Shifter*)
a frequency shifter *adds* some set value to the sound rather than a pitch shifter which *multiplies* the sound by a value
this is used all the time particularly in "anime" SFX](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24ugcnjputwpqyjwrekv5jnd/bafkreibfv4entfmjvaw62jj76suqoqtg3unmkjzgussrjo5shovjnnd6da@jpeg)

In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

Godot thing I noticed. When it comes to opened models, TSCN files are just archives and not references.
Been driving me nuts trying to figure out why reimported model anims weren't updating.
Turns out they *can't*.
It'd be better to maintain an animlibrary of exported anims, I guess.

Code is sometimes just cascading chains of things that have to be fixed so other things can be fixed.
I finished up some hurtbox code over the last month and felt like Hal from Malcom in the Middle.
"Hey finish those hurtboxes?"
*Looks up from improving engine printline support*
"Workin' on it!"

Because I simply can't stop, I also did a game jam this weekend.
(More like I signed up for suff and forgot they were all close lol)
The theme was "mundane" so we made a game about cleaning up leaf piles. But also if those piles fought back.
