I feel you, Claude...
The project I'm responsible for at work is almost 50k lines of code.
I'm the only one working on this. From the concept, over a year ago, to now in production and starting to acquire clients.
I'm kinda proud of myself here. I would never have thought that I would be able to handle this "alone".

For example (of course, sensor-related work, as it's a work-related repository): this is 1.3k lines worth of plans.
Yes, I could ask AI to read this and go 'yolo', but that's dumb. This would be vibe coding.
My process is: what can I do while tasking AI to do something else? Parallel work.

Thing you can get away when working on personal projects: commit messages.

After a quick nap we got more progress on the next indie hit: Free And Kinda Entertaining, Always Distracting GAME.
Yup, that will be the name.

After fighting #GodotEngine a bit, it works on my phone 😁
Funny enough, the Mobile Renderer doesn't work on mobile. But Compatibility does. 🤷♂️

Well... Easy start so far.

Here's another #GodotEngine tip of the day: using enums and dictionaries instead of strings!
If you need a way to use an "auto-complete" friendly way of defining some string values, dictionaries are a saviour!
But if you just want the names (a.k.a keys/ints), enums are great for the job.

Bonus: if you use VSCode as an external editor, it shows each region on the minimap.
Super helpful for bigger files.

Here's a little #GodotEngine tip of the day: Regions.
In GDScript, you can use `#region` and `#endregion` to "group"/collapse pieces of your code.
After learning this (which I first saw in GameMaker), I can't live without it anymore.

Little demo of the process. It's far from perfect or super polished. It's a script made in 15 minutes by someone who barely uses Blender.
But if it helps, it helps. lol.

One of the best things about having a friend who is also a gamedev is that I almost have a devlog of short clips from development that I get super excited to share with the other person.
In 21 days (mostly a couple of hours before/after work), the game took a fascinating shape.

Another weekend's progress!
After adventures clear a dungeon room, it's your job to remove the blood stains around before the next group comes along.

Testing the demo build on Steam... This is so cool to have a game I made being downloaded through Steam 😍
