📓 Notes

Don't worry, I've scrapped the idea of doing Game Development tutorials. I wasn't happy how they were turning out and from the fact I got zero feedback on the subject. I can tell that not enough people read this to meet the 1% of 1% rule.

With that in mind might I offer up an interesting post I came across today An Existential Guide to: Making Friends I found it a thoroughly delightful read.

I will let you know that the Game Toolkit I'm working on is on Codeberg:

mort8088/SystemX: A MonoGame shared library project that can be used to share code and content across all targets. - Codeberg.org

I'll probably just mention it when I have something to show, but until then it's just for me and anyone interested enough to go looking for it.
