#Devruary One thing I learned the hard way through devving is to never underestimate how sensitive code can be. I can't tell you how many times my games kept crashing cos of ONE space where an underscore should have been in a random file.

The engine version 2026 is already on Gamejolt

#Devruary The advice I would give a new dev is pretty simple: the more you like the act of testing things, the better off your mental health will be on a project - you'll have to do a TON of it.

#Devruary For me, the game will be ready to package and distribute when I can run it in a browser and spot zero issues. I find so much as one error, I delete the package, fix the error, and build it again.

#Devruary If I had to name a feature that took longer for me to get working than I expected, it would be the achievement and gallery systems. Had to format them multiple ways, so I'm SO glad that they finally work!

#Devruary The tool that saves me the most time as a VNDev is VSCode Editor. It lets me edit multiple scripts at once, and color-codes their chain of command which makes it easier to spot mistakes.

#Devruary Least favorite thing about devving is the most important: trial and error. I cannot understate how infuriating it is to have my game crash cos of a single space where an underscore should be, but learning to catch everything is my best habit.

#Devruary I found the question ambiguous so I guess I'll answer by parts:

Fave part of Dev communities/realm - devlogs for non-horror games, especially with really cool graphics!

Fave part of being a Dev: seeing everything work correctly in my games!
