Sorry I'm late introducing myself at this point. I'm Wraithind, Logic Monkeys partner for this Ludum Dare. I didn't introduce myself before because, well, this whole things been a bit chaotic for me.\nSee, I've always wanted to make games, and in my younger years I always dabbled with the idea. First with code, that went horribly and I had a mental breakdown over an error caused by a spell error on my part that ate up an entire night of my life, something I'd learn is a fairly normal thing actually (Note to self, there's only two m's in ammo...) then I moved onto trying art, which I was terrible at, and ended up going to school for 3D graphics, which I never got particularly good at either.\nBut, I never stopped thinking about it and fantasizing over all these games I'd like to make. I loved the idea and my mind just couldn't let it go. Fast forward more then ten years to a little over three months ago, and I decided I wanna give it another honest try. This time, I tried my hand at coding in Godot, and to my surprise things were actually sticking this time. Yes, I'm still a novice in every description of the word, but I was making progress and having fun.\nSo, Logic Monkey, who unlike me never gave up on the dream of making games, decides to drag this rookie coder kicking and screaming into a game jam. That's a perfectly normal thing to to right? Well, I'm glad that he did, because this has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I look at what we created together and I feel honest joy over it.\nI won't fool myself into thinking I'd have any chance at doing anything even close to this without Logic Monkeys help. He was with me the whole time, answering every question I had and walking me through things that I just couldn't figure out. But in these 72 hours I learned more then I had in the three months prior.\nSo, it's probably safe to say that you'll see me here again. And to everyone who's played our game, Get In Ma Blunderbuss, thank you for playing our game! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do. And for those that haven't, please give it a try if it's of interest to you and let us know what you think.\n\n![Ludum_Dare_Logo.png](\/\/\/raw\/ca1\/16\/z\/68892.png)\n\nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/56\/get-in-ma-blunderbuss","comments":0,"created":"2024-10-10T23:43:04Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":405649,"love":1,"love-timestamp":"2024-10-11T01:10:12Z","meta":[],"modified":"2024-10-11T01:10:12Z","name":"Hello, finally.","node-timestamp":"2024-10-10T23:54:25Z","parent":395939,"parents":[1,5,9,395186,395939],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/56\/get-in-ma-blunderbuss\/hello-finally","published":"2024-10-10T23:54:25Z","scope":"public","slug":"hello-finally","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":1274538},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"405649","n_urlkey":"447288","n_parent":"395939","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/56\/get-in-ma-blunderbuss\/hello-finally","n_slug":"hello-finally","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"397740","n_created":"1728603784","n_modified":"1728609012","n_version":"1274538","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/56\/get-in-ma-blunderbuss\/hello-finally","text":"Hello everyone!
