Up until now Christmas market stalls were unlocked and had to stay in one location but I decided to add a bit more customisability so ... Christmas market stalls can now be placed! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

My next small game is going to be a Christmas market! Here's the almond stand. The shopkeepers randomly generate so every time you load the game it will be different :) #indiedev #gamedev #godot

If like me you have more time than good sense you can change all your iPhone apps to look like the Nook Phone in Animal Crossing. Yes yes. xx #acnh #animalcrosssing #cozygames #cozygaming
