Digging through git and getting a hang of it

A quick recap of what I’ve done so far and the dates.. I’ve written down some stuff while developing and some stuff I had to dig through the commit messages to figure out, some stuff I still don’t know what I meant by.. but I’m leaving them in.

This was the first month of coding the game, I started early january by doing tutorials and figuring out how everything should come together. I had never touched Godot before, but I’ve worked with similiar frameworks (not games though, just software and web dev stuff). After following Heartbeast ARPG-tutorial I had gotten a grasp on the basics and after a few days searching through my humble bundles for a nice graphic-set I started to make my own thing.

This is what I’ve managed to do during January:
