I want to know what kind of apps/programs y'all recommend to people or just use personally. This is just in general, could be anything from a game to a media codec. I personally use Linux but stuff for other operating systems is welcome too.

So, what are you working on at the moment?

BTW Godot is really nice, maybe lacking a bit in the documentation but nothing showstopping.

Sadly, I've had to take a break from gamedev for a while to develop some more employable skills. That's not to say you can't get a job in gamedev, but if I don't do the indie thing then I'm sure I'll lose my passion for games.

I try to get away from the grind for a bit with a game jam here and there though. Those end up on my Itch page (link in my bio if you're curious)

My most recent foray was a deck builder where you play as a witch running a potion shop. Your cards controlled what ingredients you had and did things to your cauldrons or customers. The scope got out of control and we missed the deadline for the jam with no end in sight. A tale as old as time ๐Ÿ˜…

Lately I've been thinking that something I'd like to do is a Vampire Survivors-esque cooking game. Roguelike, monsters, and snacks, what's not to like?
