Welcome to the game development community.

Glad to see you are getting back into the swing of things.

The fun part for me in making a game was working on the zones. Everything else has been an uphill battle in a hailstorm blindfolded or at least it feels that way.

As far as never publishing anything it’s quite easy to put something up on Itch. Perhaps this will be the project you put out into the world.

Looking forward to reading more about this and hope you have fun making it.
