Didnt write this originally, but i was HOPING that i could at least partially finish this project. Maybe get back in the flow state yk? anyway, read the post-mortem about why this was a huge mistake and my i'm absolutely FUMING right now

Okay, so like 2 weeks ago, i realized that this project was an absolute nightmare to work with! everything was extremely annoying to add on to and things were interacting with everything else in strange ways and stuff just... refused to work when i added it. So anyway back to right now (12:14 AM, i need to be up in less than 6 hours) and i get back on the project for just a second to fix a crash bug right? so i do that and i decide "well let me go test out my project real quick, just make sure that everything kinda works" and i do that and like 7 extremely annoying bugs show up. I say "okay, whatever. I'll fix the most game breaking one and ship the game!" and i go to ship the game, and right before i upload the build i decide to launch it real quick and suddenly ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE GONE! GONE! they just dont render! i have no idea why this is happening, and i simply do not have the time to fix it. Anyway, this build right here is from several months ago and it severely outdayted, BUT at least it works i guess... I'm genuinely so mad right now, because i basically just wasted a week and a half of my life working on a project just to not even be able to ship the actually good build (which, mind you, is actually significantly better than what's on itch rn). i added a new weapon type, improved customization, better dialog system, better graphics, and a bunch of other stuff, and i cant use ANY of it!! maybe i'll go and try to fix the bug but i just cant right now, i'm so sick of this game and i really should've just gone with my gut feeling and improved on Dash with the fireball (which pleast check it out its actually pretty alright). Anyway, that's my ted talk i guess, i dont have much else to say lol. Lession learned about scope creep combined with not planning ahead at ALL i suppose...
