would be to take a script that was written for a visual novel and adapt it to another genre (in my case this would likely be platformer) with as little changes as possible

i feel like i've hit a wall in my GB Studio skills. it promises to let you make games without programming but i get the sense i'd be more able to create better games if i knew the fundamentals of programming. or could at least think about problems the way a programmer would. but every time i've ever tried to teach myself how to code, it never Clicks. do you have any advice for this dilemma?
Good question! I'll give this my best shot~
This really came home to me while making the Yurivania games.
Doing almost every bit of game dev on your own means often not knowing what the heck you are doing! 😆 It can be fun and liberating, but also sometimes frustrating and limiting.
I found these videos very helpful in solidifying some of the blocking and animation techniques I osmosed as a teen. I still have loads to learn!
This weekend is Roguelike Celebration!
This is one of my very favorite games events even though I don't make or play roguelikes (Dwarf Fortress aside) because of the breadth of topics they cover and the inclusive attitude they foster.
Check out some of the talks if you wanna!
