Info

Professional programmer, hobbyist game developer, indie game enthusiast, and maker of slightly vibey videos on coding, game dev and game design. 

Topics for discussion: indie game dev, godot, software architecture for games, useless career advice, tutorials that go into way too much detail, making things way more complicated than they should be.

I'm still new and learning how to make good videos, but maybe I get a little carried away? I don't know. I'm here to have fun.

As I put more research, writing and production time into videos... my output has slowed down a bit. Expect substantial stuff monthly.
