im really, really enjoying working on fighting game engine but it also makes me extremely grateful that ive got dreamrealm kingdom that
- does not need its own custom game loop
- does not need shit synced over the internet
- is single player
- is just a regular ol video game with nothing special except the weird shit i wanna put in it cause i love making video games
there's something to be said for building things that are in your comfort zone and what that can do for the process and your creative possibility space (and also how likely a project is to be finished lol)
hopefully my next personal game will just be a platformer so i dont have to worry about 4 directional sprites either. platformers have been something ive been really good at making well and passionate about building for the entirety of my time making games but ive still never actually built a regular ol platformer. this is why cast fortune is a narrative fishing game with coyote time and jump buffering
