Thank you so much for validating me! With 0 engagement, I was beginning to feel like I might be the only one 😅

Bonus: All of these build for the web which is great for game jams.

I've really enjoyed working with TIC-80 for its minimalistic games.

Raylib is another minimalistic library for games that I have mad several small games with.

Defold appears feature full and promising but i have not tried it.

You can't tell me what to do! You're not my dad!

Neat! This looks really cool!

You rock! Thanks for the examples and clarification.

A great suggestion! I typically use TryGetComponent when the component is guaranteed to be a sibling.

However, there is no such method for GetComponentInParent / GetComponentInChildren.

Using sharplab.io to see the desugaring of the pattern seems to suggest it should be safe. But, I'm not sure Unity will do something different: tinyurl.com/is-match-exa...

I'm dying 🤣

It is never too early to share your work for critiques from others, especially those who have more experience. Find a community and get feedback often.

Disabling Domain / Scene Reloading on entering Play Mode is almost a must.

Additionally, one of the Hot Reload plugins really helps with development times.
