I'm a Godot dev with some experience with state machines and have been using them in my own creature project. I love creature simulations because there's just something so fun about being in an environment with your own unique little creatures.
Having any form of help would be amazing, i know little to nothing about this kind of stuff, and well just got frustrated with not being able to act on my game designs. alot of my creation has been supported else where, and i lack full understanding but what i lack in that i make up for in commitment aha
