And while learning to use it, I realized it already had the necessary set of tools to pull out my game ideas. The node architecture with the concept of scene within scenes and the straightforward way of scripting with GDScript sealed the deal for me. I am probably not alone on this one: Game Design.

Game QA Automation helped in repetitive tasks, such as regression testing, freeing up human testers to focus on more nuanced aspects like gameplay experience and user interaction. Games are inherently interactive and often non-linear, making it difficult to script every possible scenario.

Within broader game design culture, the theme also invokes an awkward aspect of cultural appropriation and reduction. The massing was inspired by this "Forgotten Temple" concept art by Jonas Ellermann (above). Or at least, that's how I justify my laziness with encounter scripting. The textures are fine!
