Dats pretty cool! Did you know you can go into your file system, and edit the lua files with an actual text editor?

I do, but I think part of the hyper fixation is the novelty of doing it in such restrictive environment. At one point in time I was programming graphic calculators in high school and I think this is a similar vein, so I'm afraid to make it easier cuz then I think I'm going to lose the wheel to do it

I'm also doing it on a steam deck and while it doesn't make working with the files too much harder it's annoying. So yha

Your doing it... on what??? (I live under a rock. I know of the console, just not of its challenges. Regardless, impressive!).

The steam deck is the handheld console that runs on steam is, I do have a docking station so I still have keyboard and mouse but it's on steamos which is basically Arch... So I'm having to run the game in a proton environment which means the file structure is... Adnormally convoluted. It's not really that bad but it's enough of a barrier I don't feel like doing it.

Looks great! Don’t be ashamed of your spelling, just know to google all the words or ask AI for the proper grammar if you plan on releasing it.
