The idea for the game is set: 2D Platformer, Kill Nazis. Well, I could just stop there and leave it be. What more do you want from a game? The idea alone is so brilliant, I don't even need the game anymore!! Yeah... unto better things then grinding through endless Youtube vids of "What is the best engine to make games with?!!", "Before You Start... Watch this video!!" and a bunch of "This vs That" (not the ones from Hoonigan, there very cool, but not very ecofriendly, I shouldnt' support this //the inner Greta).
Like I already pointed out in the last post, when it comes to programming and even more coding, I am the person you don't want to talk to, not even look at or recognize as a human entity at all. I suck at it. More than a Dyson on full power or a sex worker at rush hour. If there would be a sucking solution for ocean polution - I'd be it! I would probably suck all the ancient wales and cute little dolphins too and just leave the sharks and the shrimps so that future generations still going to enjoy breathtaking documentaries on NGeo and cheap frutti di mare pizzas.
Big Game Idea - Big Game Dev Software!!! That was my motto. The best of the best for the best game ever made! So I watched a bunch of Unreal5 tutorials and then Unreal, then Unity, then Game Maker Studio, then Godot (there's a pattern here). Finally I arrived totally defeated at the gloomy bottom of desillusionment, but managed to climb up one step on the sky ladder of evolutionary gamedev biology. What was that step? What could possibly raise me from the indefinite ordinary doodlers and fiddlers without any true aspiration of greatness into the free mason lodge of "The Hopeless Noobs We Pat On The Back So They Don't Kill Themselves"?
Instead of the Fisher-Priced toddler tool SCRATCH, which was intentionally invented for deluded gamedev wannabes like me to keep them from toying with real guns, why not go all-in on this thing and try my luck in STENCYL!! "Sure success in no time!!!", "Earn 10k in only one month!!!", "Game of the Year Award for YOU in just SIX hours!!!". Thats what every trustworthy Youtuber, that I could find, told me about this REVOLUTIONARY piece of engine.
So just to embrace my shattered ego and give it a reassuring hug, before I push it back into the abyss of common sense, I installed an odd looking stencylmakesyourgamegreat.dmg file, that opened up to an even odder standalone version of...
SCRATCH...
I mean...
...STENCYL.
