I started this iteration of Around The World one year ago today. Time for a retrospective blog post!

Around The World, Part 29: One year in

Exactly one year ago this Valentine’s Day, I started development on Around The World. Let’s look back on the past, but more importantly, look forward at what’s still ahead.

@thomastc Very excited to read this!

> But the code repository of that project was called aroundtheworld4
Haha I know that feel. I had projects with codenames villages and villages2, and somewhere there's also villages_old xD

@f03n1x @lisyarus Tbh, although Around The World would be a reasonably good name for the final game, I do consider it a working title. Haven't done much research whether it's already taken, might cause confusion etc.

@thomastc @lisyarus Yeah that's true, same for the game I'm working on, me and my friend that are working on it will probably do some brainstorming later at some point + checking to see if the name is taken such too. I saw your pinned post btw, the game is looking cool! Reminds me of Salt which I haven't played in forever but had a fun time playing.

@thomastc @lisyarus oh and also Nikita, your town game looks cool too! I watched a couple of your YouTube vids talking about the development of your game, I need to get back to watching it haha but it was looking really good, would love to try it out whenever you release it!
