Glad with this entry ! I experimented with several things and I think it turned out fine.
- Tried Kenney Shape - Even with its limitations, with a bit of practice it allowed me to easily prototype a lot of models.
- Real recorded sounds - My first time ! I used to generate sound effects with Sfxr and/or generate music with AI. For once I wanted to add extra care on it, buy manually creating sounds and recording it on my phone. I think it sounds nicely, even if it may need some improvement (mixing) and it was quite time-consuming.
- No AI - With the increased use of AI everywhere, I wanted to set a rule for myself and to avoid AI. (No AI-generated assets, no brainstorming or problem solving, globally no use of external tool using it.)
- Efficient planning - With a mix of well placed naps and a good task prioritization, I think I managed to be deliver more work than usual, that sure helped me.
- Better use of Godot - I did some entries with Godot already, and pointed out some pain points during development.
With that in mind, I created an in-house plugin with nodes able to handle some tricky parts, to make devflow more natural so I can focus more on the content of the game.
I did great even if I got some issues with some parts, so I will iterate on it and make a v1 for the next time !
