One that I ran into recently was not being able to expose a C# list to the editor, but arrays of the same type are fine. Apparently this used to work but broke in the move to the 4.x series and just needs a fix.

I only use C# in Godot (barring plugins that are written in gdscript) and I haven't had any major issues. There are a few catches that need addressing but those can be worked around without too much issue.

It can be hard to make the time to do this sort of thing. There's always something else that needs doing, but taking a little time and doing this exercise is genuinely good for me.

I did this sort of list at the end of last year to look at what I'd accomplished in the ~6 months I was working on the project and it was a positive thing so I plan to keep it up.

Decided to start keeping a running list of accomplishments/major tasks/features that I've finished for my personal project and... even just 1 month into 2026 I've done a lot. Feels good!

And, it's worth noting, my experience in moving from Windows to Linux.

This was also my experience, pretty much exactly.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

There are two kinds of days in game dev:

The first is where you're a creative force of nature. An ancient all-knowing being of incredible skill and talent weaving gold out of your imagination.

The other is when you're a cave person named Grup, just banging two rocks together.

Why yes, I am having a productive day, thanks for asking.

Seriously, using a big company's IP, regardless of how well intentioned, will only ever end up in either a direct comparison of your work which will go poorly for you at best, or an copyright takedown and legal action at worst.

If I could give one piece of advice to aspiring game devs it's this:

Never make a fan game. Ever.

No.
But you'll probably grow a few extra arms.

Regardless of the platform, you want to play this game.
