Looks nice! So this is made with Construct 2? I stopped using engines when I learned how to program in pure Javascript and then learned how to use a rendering framework. Using an engine is without a doubt faster, but I somehow got alienated by most engines I could find. I prefer mostly code oriented engines if anything. Also your backup problems are unfortunate, stay safe and make sure to not lose anything vital with this project, it looks great!

Thanks! Yes, this is made in Construct 2. Despite my crash issues, I'm a big fan of it. An acquaintance of mine who works as a full-time game dev recommended it to me when I needed software for a class I was running at the time. I used to code, but drifted towards enjoying art and design more after high school. Construct 2 is great because it's easy to use but still follows the same logic patterns as coding, more or less. So it scratches that itch for me, without getting too frustrating.
I may look into a deeper engine or system if I ever go beyond doing this as a hobby, but for now Construct 2 it is. Heck, maybe I'll cave and pay for a Construct 3 rental license eventually. I just hate that business model, ugh.
As for backups, no worries there, I'm backing up obsessively at this point. It's a rare thing, but man does it stink when it happens.
