Why Is Game Development So HARD?

In this devlog, I return to Godot after a 4-month break only to realize I've forgotten how to implement basic features! Watch as I struggle with parallax backgrounds, animations, and game design decisions for my Flutter Plane project (a Flappy Bird-inspired game with my own twists). I share my progress so far, including working parallax backgrounds and bouncing mechanics, while brainstorming whether to create curated levels or procedurally generated content.

Despite the frustrations, I'm enjoying the problem-solving aspects of game development again. If you have suggestions on how to implement auto-scrolling backgrounds, obstacles, or any other game mechanics, please share them in the comments below!
