likewise for 3d, I made a 2d game recently in Godot and it's very clear where the strength lies
honestly while I've learnt tons doing netcode and all this other stuff with Godot I don't think I'll do a multiplayer game in it for a long time
Truly understand why everyone says to finish lots of games because god damn the last 20% is a LOT
why did I choose my first proper game to be:
1) 3d fps
2) multiplayer
3) using js, cpp and gdscript
I didn't realise I picked Hardmode 😓
Gonna be diving back into my C++ for this game since I've just cleaned up the JavaScript for it; make it cleaner, get some wiki docs on the repo written, and clear out some of my ticket list, so I can stop thinking about code and get back to making content 😓
