If you don't care about SEO, performance, load-times, and probably a bunch of other things, you COULD just use Godot to make an entire website

This is the same kind "wrong tool for the job" that made me fall in love with JavaScript

If you have trouble using tweens, adding "Juice" or picking the right transition, it should hopefully help!

btw conventional games marketing wisdom says block game will never get a lick of press because i'm developing it out in the open and anything that's public knowledge is not news so that means for it to go anywhere it has to have strong word of mouth

so uh, tell your friends? enikofox.com/blockgame

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France.
So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness.
There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time.
Good luck, and love as always

Back when I was working on Dusk, I stumbled on this easter egg in the Korg Minilogue. If you move the filter while it's starting up, it's starts a game of breakout.
