❌ A lot of mistakes were made while making Bit ESC. Some pretty big ones too. But most can be attributed to "You don't know what you don't know". So live and learn I guess.?.

And, hey, the game's almost out so things kind of worked out in a weird clunky way.

The big one is the Godot editor itself for level design with a simple exporter script. Along with that a tool to create sprite fonts from ttfs, another for dialogue with a super simple implementation of yarn spinner and a very sloppy tool for sprite animations.

Bit ESC is a solo-dev project built on a custom engine. These are the tools that I used:
💾 Visual Studio (for development)
🕹️ Godot (for building tools)
✏️ Aseprite & Blender (for creating art)
🔉 JFXR & Audacity (for sfx)
🎵 Ableton (for music)

You don't have hands in Bit ESC so you can't pet the dog. You can however play fetch with them!?!

How many players actually see idle animations? I can't remember the last time I saw one tbh. (I put several of them in Bit ESC regardless)

Adding silly stuff like this is my favorite part of developing games.
