     @alex For every copy of the game sold, they have a human sat there behind the scenes at Nintendo HQ making their experience is glitch-free.

     I think that's how they do it. Like this:

     @matt I created some games in Solarus https://solarus-games.org/ and even that taught me enough to understand on a basic level how Zelda works. You have maps and entities. TOTK has an awesome physics engine, but it's still based on this design.

     @Ruusu @matt It has a visual map builder and integrated code editor. Easy to learn, difficult to master. Highly recommended as an entrypoint into game development. It's easy but does not limit you in any way - as long as you can commit to the idea of maps and entities in a top-down 2D perspective.

     @alex it's so fucking funny that the gaming industry got to a point that a glitch free game is that rare of an exception

     @dwaltiz @matt I still think about it sometimes and wish I could. When I stopped, I had messed some things up and was starting to make the game worse instead of better. But once I'm at a good point with this social media stuff I do plan to return to it. Maybe in retirement if it takes that long - I still think it's a good idea.

     @Ruusu @matt Do it. It has built in sample maps. You can simply swap out the art and have your own game on day 1.
     
     It taught me a lot about pixel art and animation too.

     @alex @matt I will try it out. I think it will be fun. Though i'll have to get used to the idea of a top down game
