HELLO NEW FOLLOWERS

I'm Joe, and I'm working on a game where you play as a caterpillar and climb anywhere you want because that's what bugs DO
here's what it looked like 🐛 many moons ago 🐛
Heya

solo gamedev is where you end up building your entire game on a git branch called something like "quick-dialogue-system-test_attempt-2" and never question it.
what is 'development'? who is 'main'? these are alien concepts to me i am sorry
🐌 shelldon 🐌 likes to make puns to distract himself from the existential dread of knowing that he exists upon puppet strings dangled and yanked at the will of a malevolent and sleepy developer

'I AM A CATERPILLAR' - you are just a lil' bug who wants to choose their own destiny in life
🐛 climb stuff
🍄 find stuff!
🌳 explore stuff?!
crawl around and live out your wildest caterpillar dreams wooooo
any time i make changes to how the caterpillar controls, i test out its precision and ease of control with a little test i like to call 'the tree is lava'
i got a bit cocky towards the end and stomped off the vine for a second, rookie mistake
the thing about being a bug is that ⬆ up ⬇ is kinda subjective
adding an optional 'caterpillar view' camera mode back in for those who wish to see things from another perspective (and have more of a tolerance for funky camera motion 👀)
apparently there's some show about people putting mushrooms on their heads or something? weird??
