I use Freeplane, it's free. Despite how clunky and intimidating it looks. It just has the most features out of everything I've seen. (After all, it's been in development since as early as 2003!)

Other options are:
XMind
Miro
Minder ~ Local/Offline

Made a rough mockup of what my game would've looked like using a mindmap for the planning stages of game dev. My friend and I hosted a Game Jam privately to learn GDevelop and I loved it. Had I known about mindmaps, I would've went with it to visualize the things I needed to get done for the game.

C# honestly seemed more like an afterthought and GDScript is strongly encouraged instead. I'm still a hobbyist but if I was looking at web exports, I'd probably would be looking at something like Construct 3 or GDevelop for JavaScript.

It's okay man. And it's okay to not be okay.
Life is too short to put the whole world on your shoulders. So just let it go, rest, and come back stronger.

If your game doesn't run on Windows 98 are you REALLY a game developer?

Fred Rodgers on the importance of making something even if other people don't think it's good had me crying this morning. Passing it along for anyone else that might need it.

Looks really nice! I'm no fountain pen expert but the design reminds me of Sailor fountain pens. Very pretty indeed!

Honestly, I spend my time a lot more on Bluesky than Twitter these days. I'll check into Twitter once in a while, but Bluesky is pretty comfy.

Once you start, it can be pretty addicting. Fountain pens are such a joy to write with, and the experience is different with each one you use. It's awesome.

Another drawing experiment for much more minimal simplification. Mainly a sketch and just trying to work with basically three values using my fountain pen only. I should try seeing if I can squeeze a fourth value.

I'm no artist, but due to a recent game jam my friend and I hosted, I wanted to experiment an art style I can implement into the games I makeโ€” specifically a more minimalist aesthetic. I'm kinda lazy to draw this on a tablet to have more solid colors. I used the reference below to sketch with a FP.
