i dunno about that. i burned out of coding after ten something years of it being the only thing i could afford to do, while being plagued by the adhd demons that made it hard to impossible to care about sticking to a project nobody else cared about.

it doesn't really matter what you use to build stuff. valhalla was made in game maker but the code and design was beyond atrocious internally. it matters more that somebody cares you exist, because its a long road to finished and there's zero rewards along the way (what i call "reward deserts.")
