There is a bi-weekly game prototype group I would meet-up with and I do miss that. One of the changes I made to the engine was severing it from pixel art. It can still do pixel art, but it's better at doing higher res formats and I implemented Spine as an option for character animations.

I prototyped a little top-down Zelda clone and showed it to my friend Jeff one night while we were hanging out at his apartment. We were so excited by the prospect of making a game that he dove headfirst into pixel art and I into programming. That was around August 2017. How has Godot helped you advance on your project?

Rather than each “pixel” of coin being on or off, you can carve a 3D shape into it. The next step is to turn this into a 3D model that the coin manufacturers can use: Then the final step is a physical prototype. You can make a nicer looking coin if you do it another way though. Here it is: This coin is huge: 2 inches in diameter!
