indie game dev is just about cheating, always, all the time, whenever it saves you a headache. just constantly doing the most illegal stuff. wacko art styles, hacky one-off scripts, doors that are also tables that are also clouds... games combine 15+ creative disciplines into a single medium and you do not have enough lifespan to do things with propriety

Oh cool then I'm doing it right 😌
Seriously tho I have 0 idea what I'm doing. I am just trying things until it works and so far (🤞) nothing catastrophic has happened. Glad to know this is the correct way :^)
hell yea! that's so much of it, honestly!! as you do more you'll learn tricks that will save time in the future, and you'll learn what corners can be cut (and also what things deserve spending a little time on)
yea, absolutely!! games are so much work to make, if you're not having fun then it's gonna be a long slog ;-;
TRUE!!! when life gives you html and js, you make an unholy data structure to represent your game grid out of hidden divs... this is how things are meant to be
muwahahaha this is the kind of hacky nonsense to be proud of... sometimes it's just Whatever Gets It Done
