FWIW, I think most jams, including this one, allow boilerplate/template code. It’s 100% worth it to build up your own starter project and/or use an existing template. In fact there’s an “official” wild jam template from maaack: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/2703 and I published the one I use: https://github.com/paco-orwin/godot-starter-cookiecutter I actually need to update mine because I started a skeletal dialog system for this exact reason, get a all those ergonomics for free.
