For the last ~10 years I've messed around in Unity but I never really made anything...real. January 2025 I planted my foot firmly on a path forward with #godot #gamedev I created 6 games for jams in 2025. 2026 is the year I take one to the next level!

2025 was the year I found that I can work well solo on a long term #gamedev project. 2026 be the year that I either release a game on Steam or delay a Steam game release; both bucket list items. Happy new year everyone 🎉🤩🥳 #indiegamedev

I underestimated the complexity in building this, but it was a fun challenge and I'm really happy with the result so far! Shout out to FTL for the inspiration.

It's not in the public build yet, but it will be soon! cinderousworks.itch.io/data-decay
