Also, had to try really hard to reign myself in so I have room to grow and have more "spice" for the more serious battles later on.

Ok, thanks this helps a lot. I definitely want to nail down the best way to structure this now before it becomes an awful spaghetti code mess.

It would probably be fine to just keep, but my other worry is an organizational thing. I'm thinking if I limit my global data to just character stats/ inventory, plus maybe flags to keep track of story progress that's fine now, but I don't know how scalable that is if I have other needs later.

My current view is probably a hybrid approach of keeping character stats/ inventory etc in a constant global, but saving area specific info like opened chests into a resource and loading as necessary. Does this approach make sense?

And yes, that does mean ALL the art for our first two games was done in Fireworks instead of literally anything else.

Gods work 🙏

We haven't used a lot of plugins yet, but @godotsteam.com has always been great.

WHY are his hat and tunic two very different greens?

The good news is I guess there will be some kind of closed testing here soon for the mobile version of Ducks in a Row, so look out for that
