August 18th: Giving Up On GMTK Game Jam 2024, Nap, and Studying

Today was alright.

Happy Birthday Anh!

I would LOVE to code in Godot for the GMTK Game Jam 2024. Unfortunately, I've decided on using Godot too late into the jam, and since it's studying season and school season, I didn't have enough time to become familiar with Godot. As a result, I'm pulling out of the GMTK Game Jam 2024 since I don't have enough time to program anything considerable. Throughout the day I practiced using Godot. I think I learned a lot, but not enough to be comfortable in making a complete game.

Today I learned to import sprites and practiced scripting in C#. I made a small character move around and scale up and down in size. Not a lot, but hopefully I learn more. I want my next game developed in Godot! It'll have to be Godot 3 for the time being since Godot 4 doesn't support web builds in C#, and I'm a bit stubborn and lazy to learn GDScript. Arguably, I would have more support in GDScript, but C# can definitely apply to more outside of Godot.

After I gave up I took a nap. A 2 hour nap, on accident. I'm not sure what happened to the alarm I set.

Then, when I woke up, I got to studying. I hope to study even more, but I think I got through a lot.

Thanks for reading,
Issac
