  • Roughly the same as for any type of software: make shit.

    If you’ve already got experience with general programming, that helps a lot, you can probably just go straight into a super simple game. My go-to recommendation for programming in general is “make simple something that already exists”. That gives you goals that are very clear, and reasonably achievable, so you can start getting some of that satisfaction feedback quickly. For a game, I’d say do something like Tic-Tac-Toe, Battleship, Solitaire… something that isn’t gonna require a whole lot of art, just to get going, and isn’t gonna take weeks to get a working prototype.

    Godot definitely sounds like a good bet to get going. Even if you end up moving to another engine for projects in the future, that doesn’t invalidate your time spent on this one.




  • I thought Democrats embraced socialism.

    Democrats, the party and politicians, no. Not even close. As much as Fox News would love you to believe that.

    Democrats, the voters, much more so. The majority of people in the US are like you. When presented with actual socialist policies, they’re on board. But most people are also not engaged enough in politics to recognize that the Democratic party doesn’t actually believe in socialist policies, they just vote for “the left”. Or, they do recognize it, but feel that they have no better options.
