Ironically, the trouble Blender gave me while doing this did not make me happy. Simulating physics is hard, specially when you have so many objects on the scene. But it was worth it!
Also, I was listening to Happy Pills by Weathers while doing this. Not a very happy song, but I could not stop singing to it even the song was already over. o(*￣▽￣*)o

What advice would you give a new dev? #Devruary START. SMALL.
I'm talking Flappy Bird, Brick Breaker, Pong level small.
Trying to make GTA 20 as your first project? That's a one-way ticket to burnout town. Walk before you run. 
How do you deal with burnout? #Devruary
Honestly? I just... step away. Stop coding. 
The irony is that as a game dev, I rarely have time to actually PLAY games anymore. So when burnout hits, I try to play games that are nothing like what I'm developing.
Which game dev inspires you most? #Devruary
Scott Cawthon. The man took a simple mechanic and iconic characters and created a CULTURAL PHENOMENON.
Don't agree with everything he stands for, but his creativity as a dev is undeniable. 
I've noticed a pattern in my art. I will switch it up, just give me a sec to be obsessed first 
What lesson did dev teach you the hard way? #Devruary Expect the unexpected.
That "quick fix" will take 5 hours. That "simple feature"? A week. An engine update? Congrats, something broke. Always expect chaos. Plan for chaos. Embrace chaos. 
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
What’s the biggest dev mistake you’ve made? #Devruary Not leaving doomed projects sooner, skipping version control early on, and... GetComponent() in Update(). 
I wasn't born a coding genius, okay?? And I guess we've all been there, right?? ...RIGHT?? 
What feature almost broke your game? #Devruary Hack'n'slash combat system. College project. Peak overconfidence meets peak inexperience.
The feature died so the game could live (barely). Lesson learned: scope management is a SKILL.
