i've been playing so many itch.io games in the past few days and i'm getting sooooo excited about the 2d game design class i'm taking!! it starts after break :)
i've always been a 2d game person. i think most of my favorite games are metroidvanias or 2d open world rpgs. my favorite zelda game is a link to the past. like seriously, who says that??? don't get me wrong, i love skyrim and breath of the wild and stuff but nothing brings me more joy than a game like anodyne.
i've actually been meaning to make an rpgmaker game for years... anyone who has known me since i was 16 can confirm this has been cooking for a long time. at first i kind of just didn't want to bother putting all this time and effort into a project i would probably never finish. and i still kind of feel that way, but i think having a class to force me to keep working on it will be good for me. i've been trying to focus on my hobbies more than usual this year, and i feel like i've been doing a pretty good job. the main thing i've learned in the past few years is that you need to stop sitting around and just start doing the thing you want to be doing. one day i decided to be a person who crochets, and look at me now! i recently decided to get into birdwatching. i knew literally nothing when i started. and i still don't know much, but i'm learning! and i'm loving it! you just need to get started, and you'll figure out what you're doing eventually. anyways, i'm excited to get started and figure out wtf i'm doing along the way :)
