General in GameMaker

For day 1145 of coding, I've added the invulnerability time to the lower left portion of the debug screen

#Devruary The kind of feedback that helps me most is "constructive criticism with a spoonful of sugar" - it ALWAYS helps to let the dev know they're doing something right despite needing improvement. Bonus points if the critic is invested in the project.

#Devruary I use my socials to share everything I create! I mainly stick the devlogs in places that allow for an article-like post format such as GJ and Tumblr, while I put art and promos in places like Discord and TikTok.

I finally understood how to make manual control of your camera rendering.

Now i can make perfect 4:3 aspect ratio without any strange pixels stretching on my monitor.

For day 1144 of coding, I've set the player sprite to flash in and out during the time of invulnerability. It's not great, but it can serve as a base for something better

More of the Grass render system

For day 1143 of coding, I've set up an invulnerability timer after the player gets hurt. I don't have any other indicators set up yet

#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.

#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
