OK, let's do this...

I try not to overthink these things but truthfully 5,000 followers would feel like a milestone

Ask some questions in the replies. If I hit that 5k I'll finally do an honest-to-goodness YouTube video and answer them

6 Milk Chocolate Coated Digestives | M&S

Crunchy digestive biscuits coated in a layer of creamy, smooth milk chocolate, these make excellent dunkers.

Pack of six, but they're pretty big

This is not a drill - M&S do digestives that are *completely* covered in chocolate

A biscuit - or cookie if you're from outside the UK - with a bite taken out of it and resting on a square of purple foil. It is completely coated in chocolate

You're most welcome! And worth mentioning that I had great fun with it too. Somehow the fact that you're using *finger guns* is what seals the deal for me :D

Have fun!

You might say you're taking a TENTative approach to gameplay

Forgive me if you've been testing for this and are already well aware but I just had DropShot running very nicely on Deck :D

But will the self driving buses actually make it to the facilities?

Archangel Softworks - Wishlist Highway Noir! @archangelsoftworks.co.uk · 18h

Stunt casting Sporty Spice in that one was a mistake

I think that was the one with the time travelling car and the infamous wisecracking triceratops

In this episode of 'Things I Never Thought I'd Do'... I recorded an impressions video

Phase 1: the folder is called Motorway because I thought I was just doing a short POC
Phase 2: ended up actually developing it, decide on Midnight Asphalt
Phase 3: potential sticky legal situation, switch to Highway Noir

Great questions! The short answer is that the Deck attempts to map automatically based on common controller/keyboards layouts. I'll give you some more detail tomorrow but I was able to complete the first level quite happily

Thanks so much! Had to follow back a fellow Godot dev also making lots of progress :)
