Finished up my very primitive sims build/buy mode clone. Still a bit rough, a lot I could add/improve. But for a couple days of work, not bad. Would be awesome for some kind of management game. I had to refactor this like 5 times, it was awful.

Spent a few hours today remaking some Sims build mode functionality. Not really making a game with it atm, just a curiosity. Walls are unbelievably jank, but not bad for a couple hours. I'm mostly messing with the system in case I make something like it.

This game has still been on my mind. Still suffering a catastrophic game dev burnout. But I had a concept for a prehistoric/dino level in my head. I made a test song for it as a musical challenge (may not be in the game). Mostly for fun.

INSECT IS AN ARCADE-STYLE BULLET HELL SHOOTER...

Working on the wall jank, they actually connect now, editor colors work correctly, camera has different angles and views. I'm calling it good enough for now. Reminds me of building random houses that make no logical sense in the sims as a kid.

Immerse yourself in Aether & Iron, a Decopunk Narrative RPG set in an alternate 1930s where anti-gravitational technology has taken cars, roads, and even New York City into the sky.

Made it a rotatation hotkey and heavily simplifed the code, jank be gone. Feels pretty smooth now. This translates really well to controller too. Could be replaced by a button later.

I think I have a bit too much fun writing the wiki. Shoutout to the 5% of players that read all of this lol.
