Hello everyone, Id like to share everything thats happenedall the progress and setbacks Ive had during the development of this video game idea. Its been an emotional journey, full of ideas, code, hours of work, optimisations, and more. From the very beginning, since conceptualising the idea, Ive wanted to lay a solid foundation for future updates and thank myself later when its time to revisit mechanics. So, a big part of my time has been spent reading, studying the engine, and refreshing my knowledge of programming paradigms applied to games.

Currently, Im a software developer in my daily work, which is why topics like CI/CD, state machines, the single-responsibility principle, and SOLID have been the foundation of this project. Little by little, the game is taking shape, and its been amazing to see how many details can emerge during the process, so much so that Ive had to delay the release a bit. But its for a good reason: first, to avoid burnout, and second, to deliver at least a quality product to you all.

Ive been thinking a lot about how to improve community engagement and share updates with everyone whos shown interest. But Id like to ask you: How would you prefer to receive updates or see progress? I cant promise daily posts, but at most once a week (otherwise, Id stress myself out, hehe). Sometimes, Ive seen that sharing progress can feel tedious for some developers, so I was considering using a Discord channel for more direct communication and updates. Would that be something youd be interested in?

At this point, Ive sent several beta versions of the game for review to gather feedback, but it would be great to expand this community, too. Perhaps there are many people out there eager to learn a little more.

Im excited to keep building this together and hearing your feedback. Let me know what you thinkIm all ears!
