Actual description!
I often find myself in need of something very specific that'll help me make my games faster. Or easier. And in those cases, I like to use assets. But what if those assets are too expensive, or just don't work exactly the way I want?
Well... I could always try to make them myself. And that's what I do! Sure, it's also an excuse to not actually have to do any other work, but that's besides the points.
Making development tools (not necessarily editor tools) is so much fun and a great way to distract myself from other work. And in this video, I figured I'd share a bunch of my tools with you.
Like a dialogue creator, or a tileset creator, as well as a translation tool. It's very cool!
