I no longer think I've worked on this game for so many years in a row. It took years to learn the basics of solo dev and code.  It took another year of a nervous breakdown doing next to nothing because solo gamedev is a son of a bitch, and another year of (hopefully) kinda knowing WTF I was doing. 

I'm optimistic for how the game is coming together and over the moon for the progress I believe I am  making as of late.
