Over the past two weeks, I've faced some hurdles as I attempted to dive back into game development.

With determination and perseverance, I successfully completed the "Dodge the Creeps" tutorial, reigniting my passion for game development.

Add being a busy dad to the mix, and my schedule becomes even more packed. However, I've remained committed to my goal of mastering Godot 4, carving out time for learning amidst my busy schedule.
In the upcoming weeks, I'll be focusing on completing tutorial series by Heartbeat and Clear Code. These resources will not only enhance my skills but also provide valuable insights into the latest features of Godot 4. Additionally, I'll be striving to strike a balance between referencing documentation and actively coding, maximizing my productivity without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.
