I made a game in a month. Here is how it went... 🧵

@heyshipz Witcher 3

@edmundmcmillen 1. A way to view quest items while at the house

2. A cancel button in the class select menu to abort the mission and send cats back to the house.

3. A way to see your items and quest items while in the class select.

Thanks!

I wonder if I'll ever get to the point where I don't have to look up the tutorial I've already watched dozens of times to remember how to use raycasts.

Spent thirty minutes trying different methods to get an enemy to rotate towards a player character, kept not working. Finally I figured out I had the enemy's rotation speed at zero😑

Halfway there

Finally got off of mewgenics long enough to get some decent work in on a unity project

@edmundmcmillen It's rang pisses me off

@edmundmcmillen I love mage but I think it's hard to plan around what it's gonna be, sometimes it turns into a healer, sometimes a sharpshooter, and sometimes it's my tank but it's hard to know what it's gonna be when starting the run so I find it hard to choose it.

[Mason Magnolia @MagnoliaGameDev]

@edmundmcmillen I'm so impressed with how many classes and how different they are. Is there plans to add even more down the line?

[Mason Magnolia @MagnoliaGameDev]

@11bitstudios I'll be keeping this on my calendar

[Mason Magnolia @MagnoliaGameDev]

@AggroCrabGames I love this

[Mason Magnolia @MagnoliaGameDev]

@SuperSisi @prantare That's incredible, I hope I'm still able to enjoy games at that age

[Mason Magnolia @MagnoliaGameDev]

@prantare That's awesome, I truly hope I'm still able to enjoy games at that age

@edmundmcmillen My Isaac skills are so bad I don't know if it will matter

[Mason Magnolia @MagnoliaGameDev]

@edmundmcmillen Looking forward to this

[Mason Magnolia @MagnoliaGameDev]

My 2026 gaming has started out super strong. So far, all I've played is roblox 99 nights in the forest and honestly been loving it. Good year so far... (send help)
