General in GameMaker

#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.

For day 1142 of coding, I made sure the player doesn't ping pong between enemies after being hit

For day 1141 of coding, I fixed the collision error. It turns out that two of the variables needed for the collision needed to be updated after the speed change from knockback

#Devruary As an [AS]-autistic game dev, my fixation on the content itself never wanes, so burnout comes from repeated failures. I usually cope by making an offshoot of it (art, video, or blog post) to remind me that I can see something through.

For day 1140 of coding, I have found where the infinite loop is happening through GMS2's debug mode. I haven't been a able to fix it yet unfortunately

#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
