Thanks for the chat, Matt! It was fun.

[@EriksBlue]

A idea for your Godot tutorials you mentioned how you dislike having to (create setup) per videos, why not make a video or course that covers that and in future videos reference back to that video/course so you can stream line your experience and you have a ever green piece of content that will need to be referenced.

Matt is always very wholesome. He has some awesome insights.

[@chreeshendolo]

Lots of fun! Loved the echange of insights between the two of you ❤️

Main Project Syndrome. I feel exactly like you do Matt - IDK what it is, but it just feels... right lmao. I have it.

[@darenn-keller]

Very interesting talk, I can relate to the main project syndrome too!
As a side note, nice retro collection in the back. 🕹

[@Valadria]

Thanks! Those are some of my very favorite games, including Game Boy and Sega CD classics. So good!

[@RockyMulletGamedev]

Took me a couple of minutes to understand the context of "main project syndrome" XD
but I think I got it ? (Stubbornly sticking to a game projects that's not working because it's your "main project")
Good talk !

[@Valadria]

Yeah oops I've got a bad habit of jumping straight into the jargon! We should have called it "my main project is slowly killing me" 😂

[@Mk2kRaven]

Work spaces in GM is being replaced.
