I see. That‘s tricky I assume, especially flying solo. 🤔 Whatever you decide, I got my pompoms ready. 🍀

Not sure this is the right question to ask (and also, I‘m just getting started so what do I know) but what would define a flop or a success for you?

My hand on my bed pull up support and a walking stick sitting by a wheelchair.

Trying to get more comfortable talking about my disability.

Here's the system I use to get up and about in the morning (on bad days...like today). A pull up bar attached to the bed which I use to sit up, a walking stick which I use to stand long enough to transfer to the wheelchair.

Alright. She can run and high jump. I‘ll probably never again make progress this fast.

It‘s just the right mix of scary and goofy, I don‘t know if I want to hug or run away

If anyone is willing the share the following, I would be so grateful!

We just launched Piece by Piece on Steam 🎉🎉

It's a cozy repair shop sim, you play a woodland fox who inherits his grandfather's store. You fix up items with your hammer and paintbrush 🔨🖌️🦊

I bought a Leuchtturm 1917 notebook to sketch out my ideas.

I thought A5 would be too small so I bought the Master (A4+). This thing is huge. My hand for size comparison. And it‘s got 235 pages.

I can probably fit five games in there.

GDQuest was helpful. Still getting used to the structure of the Godot documentation though.

Okay, started work on my ugly proof-of-concept demo and I've got a basic platformer. She can walk, she can jump.

AND she can drop through platforms.

I think I would decrease the wait between the appearances (characters, dragon), and yeah, I’d definitely speed up the dragon drop. Maybe one wing flap might even be enough?

It could be a little faster but I love the flight animation and the zoom-in at the end.

Skeleton walking animation. Learned a lot in terms of frame numbers and smoothness of movement vs. momentum.

I tried a low-resolution aesthetic with this pixel scene. If you have any suggestions or thoughts, I'm all ears! Please share any suggestions you have!

Feel like this is an „add a game mode with the early drawings“ kind of situation.
