#Devruary The "game devs" that currently inspire me the most comprise the ANKAMA company. They started out as a gamedev team who put so much love into their MMORPG games and crowdfunded animations that they have grown into a huge success!!

For day 1139 of coding, I've done some testing and found the collision that caused the infinite loop

For day 1138 of coding, I think I got the speed and distance right for the knockback. There is an issue where the game goes into an unbreakable loop at certain collisions

#Devruary Worst bug I have to deal with is an annoyingly common one: misplaced visual elements. It can persist even if the code for it produces no errors. I then have to figure out what to add to fix it without throwing off the existing non-error code.

#Devruary As a Ren'Py dev, the two things that could always break my games are (1) building a new feature incorrectly and (2) messing with the "screens" file too much!

I have since adopted a new game making rule: if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.
