i wanted to make good on my intro and post my "space invaders recreation" compilation. it's 90% complete, i stopped shy of 100 because i managed most of what i wanted, i was eager to start making something of my own, and also a little laziness

i scaled down the invaders after this and added some cyan squares for barricades (and had a whole problem where every square had a player underneath it, that was a massive annoyance)

it took me a while to realise this was the best way to get to grips with Godot and i had a lot of fun solving problems and learning to anticipate them

it also made me feel smart using things like a timer for both enemy movement and music (sound gets scuffed when it goes fast), zooping in a little box that another box detects and spawns the pellet on its position (so it's parented to the level and not the player)

i might want to edit a companion piece to show some of the code since i didn't know how to showcase that at the time (and thought it'd make it hard to understand)

this used to have music but i cut it out because copyright paranoia. play Maneater in another tab if you want to emulate the original experience

Intro post

hi, i plan to post my creative things and maybe dump my emotional baggage here. you will acknowledge my output, there's nothing you can do about it

in my head it'll be consistent, but i'm busy with other facets of existence, so i'll be learning to find the time

i like sharing what i've made and i kinda wish i did this sooner. i feel like i've been doing this in my own world, because i have

i hope i can show what i'm like when i'm not struggling, my game concepts are goofy and my writing, even though i enjoy it, has a pervasive amateurishness to it.

i assume regular creatives post their work and maybe sometimes touch on difficulties, but i need a space to talk about some of these things so it'll be a variety show. i've no idea what i'll do if i get a strong game concept and my page has emotional stuff in-between.

my mental health is more important right now so i'll figure that out later

i hope my "wrong" way of doing things makes sense to someone. i also hope i'm using these tags right
