Thats right we are refactoring and rewriting our code. The spaghetti got us as far as it can take us, we know what Systems we need, we know how we are going to structure our nodes and files, and we know the game play loop.

Happy Monday,
Silksong has me thinking about difficulty and the inherent reward of overcoming a tough challenge vs the frustration of that challenge. What makes you coming back for more?

yea its defiantly something I'm looking at, and trying to pay attention to. Menu style, sfx, animation and readability of text and icons there is so much.
