(V-0.0.29) UI Mission Complete

This week wasn't so bad I finally got UI keyboard controls to work, as usual it took much longer than it should have because my smooth brain just can't seem to lean from the mistakes I make. But either way it is working, and it should make interacting with the game much more seamless and smoother and will scale with all the UI I put into the game without any issue. I also fixed some bugs and cleaned up code a little and have started working on the first levels layout, eventually I would like to make the level way bigger so I wont go all out on level design yet but I do want it to at least be a little interesting and structured.

Next week I'm going to work on the  level layout, interactable items generation, and hopefully make another attempt at improving the feeling of everything. I'm thinking this game really does have potential, but I have to keep iterating, and I have to make sure the player gets feedback.

In other news I have given up on not playing video games I made it over a year without playing any as a way to motivate myself to work on my projects more and to be honest I think it just pushed me to waist time and money on other things that I don't have the time/space/money for like koi fish, soler panels, and bee hives lol. I think my personality makes it so I basically need things to distract my mind to not be stressed out and if I'm honest with myself basically every hobby I impulsively get into ends up stressing me out because I feel like I'm being watched and also it feels like another responsibility while videogames are pretty much my only true way to decompress. Even things like going for walks or reading have basically been ruined for me because my dog wont walk normally and my house is filled with noise all day long. So I ordered a retroid G2 for some retro gaming and its a handheld so hopefully I can find some places where I can be left alone and play Other than all that I'm tired just like always and the winter cold has made getting up early even harder but stopping not an option so ill just keep going see you all next week.

I should probably talk about the game more but its so underbaked right now lol, I played shadow of war and shadow of Mordor, also rom hacked Pokémon crystal. After not gaming for so long they were like crack, the first game I'm playing when I get my retroid is monster hunter freedom unite!
