[🚂🎫] Wordcharted, my first ever 'game' out now!

lil bump for first patch, added autosave on any change to the text boxes

thank you! It was def quite a challenge haha

Love the message! And even if it doesn't turn into anything big, it's a lot of fun making it :)

I appreciate that a lot ❤️

Woah thank you, this comment also made my day! I hope to get to see what you make in the future.
If I was to say one thing, it would be to not wait for the ‘right’ time, because there isn’t one, just start whenever you can :)

Thanks! As of right now, there isn’t a spell check. This is because I would have to find a dictionary that would be formatted correctly and that would allow me to use it license wise. As a beginner, it would also be quite complicated for me to figure out how to make it work. I understand the importance of spell check tho, and I’m definitely looking into it, so there’s some hope for a future update.

Currently what I do is that once I’m finished writing, I’ll copy and paste it into word/google docs/whatever you use, and then format it to my liking, correct any spelling mistakes, and polish it from there. I know it’s not the most ideal, but I don’t find it as too much of a hassle since I like to proof read anyway. Afterall, the main point is to reach the desired word count before the deadline.

Thank you, and definitely. I know that struggle all too well, been trying all sorts of things to stop being distracted

Tysm! If you do, I still want to update it so any feedback is welcome to make the experience of using it better

Thanks! I made it in Godot, so the default language for that is GDScript. As far as I know tho it's also possible to use different languages in Godot if you already happen to be familiar with any.

Some videos I used were the following:
This is great for basics and seeing how the game engine itself works, kinda a must watch tutorial no matter what you're doing.
From the same youtuber there's also this, for GDScript specifically.
Then I mostly just searched for more specific stuff, or even googled some issues I was having for which there usually seems to be a forum question somewhere with someone solving it. Just be careful if it's an old response, since older versions of the engine may have done it slightly differently.

Gotta say I really like the structure of Godot, it doesn't take too long to become familiar with the layout, and sometimes you can do things directly in the editor without having to write up tons of code. Hope this helps :)

Oh and I plan on making better trains in the future hehe
